This may belong in the university section but anyway I have some friends who claim to be witches (wica or whatever it is called) and pagan. You know, the sort of religions you wouldn't normal hear of until you really got out that christain community setting. Anyway, I am asking, can they really be serious about these religions. Not to say there nothing serious about them but well they seem to really "follow" these. Maybe I'm just expecting a stereotypical vision people of these religions. If you anyone could explain these, particularily wica to me that would highly appreciated.


sigh...

yes these religions are based on the old pagan religions from thousands of years ago

I've never considered Judaism to be "pagan".

No, no. Only Christians get to call other people "pagan." And considering what that word orignally meant, it's really not a put-down at all. "Pagan" refers to countryfolk, people from the country.

Now, who'd like to jump on this one? :wink:
