Chris Zewe Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Once again, I'd prefer NOT to be attacked on all sides for my beliefs (this is Catholic "phorum", by the way). And I'm relatively new to Wicca (a few months), so I wouldn't exactly be your best source of information. Also, there's load of differences in the beliefs of different Wiccans, just like Christians. Asking me to explain Wicca would possibly be something like asking a Protestant to explain Catholicism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin D Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 [b]Flip[/b], considering he doesn't feel comfortable explaining his beliefs, I'd assume this post would be fine? [b]Chris[/b], you're worried that your personal beliefs will be attacked from all sides, please read the Phorum Guidelines [url="http://phorum.phatmass.com/index.php?act=boardrules"]http://phorum.phatmass.com/index.php?act=boardrules[/url]. And on another note, should you expect people to respect you, while you trash others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0lar_bear Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Alright then, explain to us what [i]you[/i] believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Zewe Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I don't want respect from you, it's just that I've learned that you'll never convert someone or change their way of thinking on a message board or in a chat room when it comes to politics, philosophy or religion. I see no reason to respond to various posts just because I left something out of my description. If you honestly want to learn, look it up. Then when you're comfortable engaging in a debate about Wicca, bring it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fides_et_Ratio Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Chris, you so nicely ( ) said in another thread that you are an atheist? Just curious.. how then do account for your existence? Are you able to sustain your own existence? etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Zewe Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 YEARS AGO. I've been various religions over the course of my life...atheism was at that time. Or perhaps I was just saying that to annoy people in that thread. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most memorable and loveable is Raven, she doesn't post as frequently anymore but is always welcome when she drops in. We are perfectly comfortable discussing your beliefs, the question is are you? Your dodging of the issue seems to indicate not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Which was why I put a question mark after "said you were an atheist", indicating I wanted to know if you still were or not. So then, you do believe there is a God?

Chris Zewe Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Unsure, I'm taking Wicca quite seriously although I'm not sure which set of beliefs is right for me. I'm currently leaning towards the God and Goddess as being symbolic, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0lar_bear Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 How about you tell us something about what you believe or explain why you think something in Catholicism is wrong? Then we will have something to discuss instead of taking shots into the dark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quietfire Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 [quote]I'm taking Wicca quite seriously although I'm not sure which set of beliefs is right for me.[/quote] Im not picking on you Chris. Honestly. Just trying to figure out why(???) would one search for something that's "right for me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
