bible-thumping witches?

Very well put, Gentle.

It is still a big NO!!! from Me!

Holy Crud monkeys. I'm the afore mentioned ChristWicca from the post way back then.

When it comes to God and Wicca/Paganism, it's a very thin, very fragile line to walk. It involves constant balancing. Who am I pleasing, what do I believe, how does this make sense?

For those who are Trinitarian Wiccans, Christopagans, Christian Witches, whatever in the soup you are, they have a lot of courage to stand up and try to bridge the two.

Personally, I was raised Roman Catholic. I felt this close relationship with God but Church and Christianity wasn't offering me what I needed in my spiritual life. Wicca did with its divine feminine and its natural processes. So I tried to make do with what I had. I don't have a canon, a creed, no priest or religious leader to help me out. I'm seriously alone without any support other than other Christian (insert wicca/pagan relation here)s.

So to hear all this "Christian witches don't exist" "They aren't real" "Pick a side" is really frustrating because I KNOW what it's like to be told that and have to stumble through a labrinth blindfolded, picking up scraps of whatever spiritual truth I can hang onto.

So that's my two cents. Believe what you will and remember this:

You have NO right to tell anyone what they believe is wrong. And that's the truth.

I apologize for the ignorance with certain members of SoMs.I find that any form of practice should be respected no matter the history or beliefs. Satanism has a bad rap so does Christian Witches(or whatever term you use).

Thank you all the members who respect other practice and kept well within the walls of the horrible titled of a topic. I enjoy reading opinions even if I disagree because it showed me what some members are like and how others are.

Oroboros, it's obvious you don't welcome all paths and practices as your mission statement says. I agree with Weatherwax. if it works for you, it works for you. Path and belief is a personal thing which only has to be understood, reconciled and accepted by self.

You're right, Prson!
But will you explain this to people who believe in bad translations?
Of people crazy the asylum and many churches are full !!!
They say that the inquisition is over, but there is a lot of Christians blaming the misfortunes they make themselves, and they use Jesus and God as an excuse.
The story is in the interpretations, not in the original text. Even because they have adulterated and taken away much valuable to mortgage the sanctity to the new puppets (Mother Teresa of Calcutta for example), and retire others (Saint George, for example) "Saint" that do not matter anymore.
First they hunted pagans (inquisitors), then Jews (Nazis), and now drug traffickers use some Christian and / or evangelical churches as façades to hunt down legalists ...
What is the christian reality that matters in this whole story?

I think that we are beginning to see a thread in bashing of others beliefs in this thread which is discouraged on this site. So I am locking this thread. Please keep in mind that we do not trash another's spiritual beliefs or practices on this site.
