1. It's very much a religion, and it's even recognized as such in the Armed Forces Chaplains handbook.

So are atheism, rastafarianism, the Universal Church of the Master and the Sri Chinmoy centres.




2. It is also a philosophy of life, as are all religions. And nowhere in Wicca does it say just to do what you want. Wicca encourages one to always do the "right thing" when possible.

Who decides what is the "right thing"?

3. Wiccans in general believe in an overall creative force, but we don't pretend to know what it really is like some religions do.

When wiccans have an orgasm do they shout

"Oh my overall creative force!"?


4. Not really a grand plan, because predestination is largely a Christian concept, but most Wiccans believe that nature has a grand design that all life is involved in in one way or another.

How would you differentiate predestination from a "grand design"?




5. Most Wiccans believe that the "soul" moves on to either rest for a while, reincarnate into a new body, or "ascend" to our ultimate destination to be one with the gods.

6. Many Wiccans do believe that what we do in this life will most likely affect us in the next.

7. Well I didn't create Wicca, so I'm not sure why that question would be directed at me.

Edit: I just want to add that you seem to have a few misconceptions on what a religion is. I hope I helped you out a little with those.
