i know everyone in this fine world is free to their own opinions but as i was browsing through the internet reading articles about wicca and paganism i came across this web site http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False...ca_exposed.htm. and i find it to be one of the worst pages i have ever come across . saying that we worship the devil. we believe in gods and goddesses not one should being and definitely not an evil hell-bound one at that. now i respect all religions and the fact that some people are against other religions but i do wish that we could all just respect each other and live happily instead of sending false lies out to the public..I can see why some younger people like myself have a hard time finding the religion that is right for us whichever that may be... if you have any opinions at all feel free to say them.

My opinion: the internet is mostly unregulated and you WILL find material that is offensive. Be prepared for that or keep your browsing to a minimum.

Yes, that sort of thing is sad and sick. Gives Christians a bad name to those who don't know any better. The other guy that comes to mind is the whacko (calls himself Christian) that goes to Gay rallies toting signs "Fags Rot In Hell", etc... pretty sad, all of it.

It's too bad to see that - especially considering that they probably know darn well that Wiccans and Satan Worshippers are two completely separate and unrelated groups.

Peace and Blessings to you, binx44. Please know that that site is NOT representative of Christianity. It's representative of liars and evil people.

There is so much info out there on the net that you just can't believe everything and yes some of it may be offensive to some people. Some times you have to walk thru the mud to get to the sidewalk.

While I've run into a couple of so-called "Christians" who were this bigoted, most of the Christians in my life have been caring, kind, wonderful people. The ones I know personally embrace wicca as a legitimate religion / practice.

As Rick says people who make those kind of webpages are wackos. Those people who think wiccans worship the devil probably also think that gays should be lynched, Jews control the press and the banking system, Mohammed was a pedophile, etc... it's unfortunate that the people who are the most intolerant seem to shout the loudest. But the majority (at least in my experience) are definitely not like that.

Take care, and try not to read those kinds of webpages if they bother you. I'm Jewish and I steer clear of all of the anti-semitic garbage online (and other garbage as well!), as it upsets me too much.

Please keep searching Binx44. There are many great sites out there that describe our beautiful religion. And sadly, of course, there will be these kind of sites. The powers that wish to enslave and control find the Wiccan faith very frightening. They will stir their more demented minions to this kind of horror, and far worse. Wicca challenges the established structures by giving the individual power over their life and their relationship with God. We teach equality and respect. Personal freedom and responsibility. Accountability and honor. You bet they're scared.

I am saddened by such things in many many forms. I believe there is a way to live happily together too.

the world would be such a wonderful place if it were not filled with these hates. And i thank you all for taking your time and speaking your minds. i have been practicing wicca for almost 5 years now and i am glad to see that not everyone thinks we're devil worrshipers and that everyone has their own different opinions.
Merry meet and merry part everyone
