Hold on a damn second whitefire... You're Christian eh? Well, the bible specifically condemns those who you magick in many places. For example...
(Galatians 5:20) The practice of witchcraft and sorcery were sins that Christians needed to repent of, confess and forsake.
Exodus 22:18 states "Do not allow a sorceress to live"
Deuteronomy 18:11-12 condemns anyone who "..casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you"
Sooooo.... If you are a true Christian ( I once was devout, now, not so sure anymore ) Then you're screwed =D. Believe me I've been there, all the power inflated elders forcing their views down your throat, force-feeding you their views on religion... Not for me... Not saying its a bad thing, but consider the paradoxes and hypocrytism in your own arguments before you go bashing someone else's religion please...
I don't care if people are Satanists. It's their beliefs. I don't really believe in Satan.
Someone on this thread said to go with the religion that your parents want you to go with, I will never. I'm not going to do what other people tell me to do. I want to think for myself, not have others think for me.
Satan is not exactly a bad person. Through christian teachings(and the billions of spilt off of the same religion)he is said to be bad. Because he went against god. and cause a huge war and yada yada yada. Whatever that's not what matters.
You asked if worshiping satan is bad. No It's not. You can worship whoever you want to. No matter what anyone says. I mean... basically you can say that I worship trees. Doesn't mean I care what others think about it, my choice not theres.
So it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about you worshiping satan. It's what you want for yourself.
Well as a Wiccan I myself do not believe in this diety known as satan. But it depends on your religious beliefs and such. If your Christian then yes it would be very wrong. But it all depends on yourself, if you think its wrong and bad, then it is, if you think its right and true then it is. There is no right or wrong in religion, the way I see it, religion is your OWN self journey, and yours alone. Hope I helped out.
actually the funnyy thing about wicca is that wiccans say they believe all deities are like aspects of the god and goddess, yet the exclude lucifer.
the christian devil is not a diety, but lucifer aka satan is thought to be.
not the christian version of him, but the satanic one.
so do wiccans believe in all deities Except lucifer? or would the more apt description be that wiccans dont view satan in the same light as christians do?
Do Wiccans believe in Hell? No, Wiccans do not believe in Hell or Satan. Wiccans believe that we alone are responsible for our actions and that we can not blame our misfortunes on a fallen angel.
See Christians in a way say all their faults and such are because of him. Wiccans do not, their resposible for their own actions. Of course there is evil in the world but who says there is only one source?
