The Dogmatic Approach

1/31

I've been doing a great deal of thinking over the past few days about my believes that every religion has similarities and that we should build on these strengths rather than focus on differences resulting in conflict. This is a very dogmatic attitude and is difficult to debate, which is why taking this approach can be very frustrating to those who choose to focus on religious differences. It neutralizes their attacks.

Imagine how different our world would be if everyone embraced religious diversity, blended spiritual paths, and worshipped together without prejudices. That would be a magickal miracle.

Religious Freedom

1/31

As I continue to ponder my recent conversation with Christians, one of the basis for their argument against Wicca and other alternative religions was that America was founded on Christian values. Well guess what, we also live in a Country that recognizes religious freedom and choice!

Any religious claim can be debated, but I speak only to my own personal practice and experience. Although there are Christians who present some facts about Wicca, they do so in ways to speak and preach against it. As long as Christians speak out against Wicca, I will continue my mission to educate that being a Witch and Wiccan is not a bad thing.

Okay, I'm done.
