Pretty obvious why you feel so defensive!

But if you feel so strongly about being a wiccan you would have the fortitude to explain what the hell it is.

Look it up on Google. And I have the fortitude to discuss anything about my religion. If I thought you asked the questions out of a genuine desire to broaden your mind on things and not a veiled attempt to gain fodder to pick apart my beliefs and call them "loony", then I would be happy to answer anything you asked. But I know better.

Now please run along so those of us that really want to make this world a nicer place can discuss important things. Thanks.

If you did you would be able to stand up and defend your beliefs.

From what you said on another thread, the wiccan "minister's" solution to the health care problem is to use a false name at the ER and then run away.

How is that making the world a nicer place?

I've never used a false name. But Wicca does teach that one should have their own personal morality. Nobody can tell you what is right or wrong for YOU.

Feel free. I expect you to have your own morality. I may vehemently disagree with your ideas and "morals", but they are yours and I would never try to make you think any way else.

So in a Wiccan society would murder be justifiable because it is moral by the one who committed it?
