Christian Wicca
Not to bash anyones belief, but i must honesty say i find this concept offensive.
Maybe it has something to do with dorment hostility towards christianity, i'm not completely sure, but i figure it is worth a discussion as i know there are others who feel the same, tho not nessicarily on here.
What are your thoughts on the subject?
P.S Hopefully this topic doesn't get too messy/nasty, because that is not my goal.
Wow, good subject. "Christian - wicca"........
And why on Earth not ? I can see this being, in a way, a little relevent to me.
I am a Christian, and yet I use a dowsing rod, I use a pendulum; I use the Tarot cards (to meditate); I try to heal people using 'magical'(Though they are not of course) signs to help me tune myself into the 'Chi'. I even allow myself to be used as a conduit by God, in healing, by the laying on of hands.........reminds me, I'll have to make sure I check on whether I paid my last subscription to my personal line provider to God; not much comes through these hands today..................:biglaugh:
Joking apart, I guess I am so deplete myself, I am not much good at giving. I only have to spend a few minutes next to a sick person to feel the immediate drain on my reserves......I would'nt mind, but I end up feeling so so tired, and worn............
I suppose I could envisage being called a witch for what I do, and yet I am a Christian; I belive in Christ, and in his teachings - which, IMHO even include references to his 'magical acts' - healing the blind, raising the dead...........
I'm not that good though, might manage to raise a bit of enthusiasm sometimes......
I can see why you would be shocked James, and I respect your beliefs. But for me ? why not. I can't even see that as making me a bad Christian.
