Just wondering what would you pick?

I am actually a Druid but Witch is close enough. Even if they wanted to burn me at the stake I would not become a christian.

Have a wild guess what I picked y'all stink lol



sorry guys just messing lol

I couldn't pick any of them.

I'd pick Christian, but I'm not afraid of witches or wiccans... not even close. Personally, I like some pagans better than I like some of my own fellow Christians.

I would choose what my freind dark here is only the girl version and bacca and Silver cougar.... these are jsut amazing folks and thats enough for me i have known them on um for two years We love dark so much my son too, we havea tree dedicated to him and have a piice of his spirit in a park we frequent each day .. It has a big carved heart and it is the begiining of many a spiritual journey for the many children that stop and either hugh this tree of jsut sit for a minute.....all creatures great and small stop at this tree Darkwind....Dark has been a great tacher as far as embracing nature for many of us....love ya dark(((HUGS)))

I've battled this question for a long time. I wish I could've done both, but I choose Christianity.

wow dark - go you. looks like you have some kick-ass vibes comin your way

I would be an "Je ne sais quoi "...i couldnt think of a better way to describe the true nature of our being to tell you the truth .

i would avoid naming it if at all possible (closest to wiccan me thinks).. of the religions now- seems to me a lot of them are feeling the same magic- then fight over what its called.. if we spent more time just appreciating it would would have less time to fight

but .. the aliens?!?
clem

Here's a question out of ignorance. How can one be a Christian witch, when Christianity is based on Biblical teaching and the Bible teaches against witchcraft?

I really am curious and want to see if someone can provide an answer.

Thanks.

If I absolutely had to choose, I'd go with Witch. A very flexible title.

You can't... So why the question?

(((HUGS BACK))) for you and your son.



People do Christian witch, but I can't figure out how they reconcile the differences. Most witches worship at least two God/desses. To each his own I guess.

Here's an answer out of ignorance. Witchcraft was forbidden in the 613 mitzvot, so, since Christians don't follow all of the 613, why should they keep this one? As a Christian I was trying to perfect a way to do Christian magic. Nothing worked as efficient as my former practices. But, now that I am a Chassid, prohibition of magic is a law I choose to follow.

I chose none because I am all of them. They are the same religion for at the core of them all they believe that happiness can only be had with intimate converse with Truth.

Same reason that someone can be a president that is responsible for the bombing of innocent women and children when the bible teaches against violence.

I don't think you can... I don't think either faction would WANT to..

But I wonder what made you ask this question in the first place.. if it was the voting option number 2 "christian, witchs/wiccans scare me" then you just read it wrong... "its christian,(because) witchs/wiccans scare me"

I picked wiccan.

I would never become a christian, not even under pain of death.

Je ne sais quoi, bien, bon mon petite lapin!!

Questo, Io non sono sicuro!!!

•ortografia

ok...understood "good my little rabbit"...what does that other bit mean?

Is what you wrote still in french? it looks like spanish

It means she's not sure... in Italian.

Hope you don't mind me answering... I was in the vicinity.

nn23- I replied to you in french and then I stated my thoughts in Italian. Sorry. Didn't mean to confuse. ♥Jody






•ugh. speeeeeling.

*waves @ brave new world*
I'm a witch. I wont lie. A witch, not a wiccan, or a pagan, or an athiest. A witch. Have practiced for many years. It makes more sence to me than other religons. If I wasnt a witch I dont think I would be religious at all.

I cannot vote in this poll. Why is it that a Christian must needs be afraid of witches and wiccans? I am a Christian, and given the choice I would choose Christianity over wicca/witchcraft every time - I cannot turn my back on my God. But I do not fear witches and count some amongst my friends (probably closer friends than many of my Christian friends at church).

Yes, I think I did missread this whole poll and the title.

I think I must have misunderstood too.... the entire thing. *scratches head, walks away perplexed*

What tradition do you practice?

I voted pagan but I think the choices were a tad limited really. If someone says they are a satanist christian pagan allah worshipper, I'd be hard pressed to say they aren't. Of course there are some christians who think that witches are evil etc. and reading Harry Potter is an express ticket to hell but those thankfully are fewer.

Thing is I LLLOOOOVVEEE the smell of diversity in the morning, and all pagans aren't witches and all witches aren't pagan. There are many combinations out there, more than all the menu choices at a Starbucks. I think there needs to be a poll where you can check more than one box.

And all I could think was... man, I worked for starbucks when there were only 4 choices... Almond, vanilla, hazelnut and mocha... if you kissed my butt, I might have been inclined to make ya an almond mocha. haha.

Yes, like Starbucks, this world becomes increasingly complex. Will we ever learn to manage it all? I hope so.

Cheers Shadow , and, WOW italien imPRessiMOSive ...errr...yeah, it sounded good

I want to learn Polish ...one day

NICE ONE!!
nn23xx

I vote neither, but I don't consider paganism stinky.

I'm very attracted to witchcraft,paganism and always seem to end up with pagan friends- or they find me.

The shoe definitely fits but for some reason I don't want to get caught up in it so I'll stay an observer. I feel like i belong with Pagans,Deists and Agnostics. Many are creative,humorous and adventurous, so i surround myself with creative people,whether arts, music, dance,design etc. Some are a little too far out for me and many don't have the powers they seem to think they have.

Picked pagan cause that's what I am. But I think that christian witch should have been up there as a choice it would have been interesting to see how many would choose it.

Well it has been several years since I belonged to a particular forum which I will not mention the name of for reasons you all may be able to guess. One of the issues I had with the forum was actually this very topic (I kind of got tired of defending the Christian witches all the time and being accused of being a fluffy bunny for it). There are a great many pagans/witches/wiccans that do not believe it is possible to be a christian witch (although really I think they were just a little offended by the concept since christianity has borrowed a lot from paganism over the years). The forum was predominantly pagan with a smattering of "mixed belief witches" and from what I recall it is possible.

Now as to how it would be much in the same way that it is possible for any christian to believe or take part in practices which are mentioned as no no's in the bible. I mean the bible says a lot of things should be done that christians no longer do (the bits about slavery and such) and it bans a lot of things that some christians see as OK in present day. In reality Christian paganism is not so far fetched a belief system. They still pray to the same god and they still hold the same core beliefs, their methods of worship is the only thing that differs somewhat.

This poll was totally unusable!

If you HAD TO choose like the poll question makes clear, then choosing "neither" or "I don't know" shouldn't been there because the poll says if you HAD TO choose.

I was going to put "neither" but "neither" actually said something like "neither, they both stink" and I don't think the Wiccan spirituality stinks at all. So I couldn't choose that one. This made me think I shoud go ahead and choose "I don't know", but the poll question said I must choose between Wiccan and Xstian.

By this time, I was so disturbed by this contradictory and ill-worded poll that I took violently ill and had to be revived with smelling salts. When I opened my eyes, the room was spinning and filled with a shimmering blue mist and after a few seconds I became aware of a presence that seemed to be sitting with me, just behind me and to my right. This presence matched every move I made and it almost seemed like it was part of me, but outside of me.

It was this other presence that moved my mouse and clicked the "Wicca" checkbox.

your true self popped out for a bit eh?

Exactly! It was like some sort of Zen koan that was so utterly perplexing that I became momentarily enlightened.

Stay clear of WWF then LMAO just kidding lol

If I had to choose, it'd be wicca. Seeing as most of their laws seem to be what I pretty much live by myself,

I have got agree with you on this one MissMelsWell !

SO CLOSE!!!! It's impressionante. (I try to stay close to "real" Italian even though I'm more familiar with a Sicilian dialect.)

I don't think it would be hard to learn polish. It has the same gender things as the other romance languages, right?

Anyway, I still picked don't know due to the limited choices in the poll!

You don't have 2 be, I just know that alot of Christians are. And i didn't have room to put all the different sides of pagan. And for neither its for u wouldn't be both. And for i don't know, means you could decided. pretty simple:) [4 those who are confused!]

Well heres the problem....it clearly DOES have those options...one of which with added humour...woah lol

but every time anyone on UM makes a poll..someone always comes on and complains about it

Whoaa...so your like REALLY advanced in your italiano then...thats so cool...yeah, Polish does the gender thing...i just love the way the words sound, many words start with a kinda "psh" noise (not spelt like that)...it has a russian flavour, but is less harsh sounding in my view...one day...i'll probably pass through there when i go travelling in three years

yeah, thats the same as what i chose, i interpreted dont know as a statement unto the self...it can not be described, so there is no "knowledge" of it in the word sense...we really can not know it in the mind sense...or rather what we claim to know is not actually "it". hahaha...just a bit of fun word play though hey

15 of you people picked - witches LOL

Who fancies a steak? lol just kidding

If you mean that have you ever looked into studying Christian witches? There's quite a few people who have found a delicate balance of both faiths and practice them as one very well, I'm good friends with one

It wouldn't have made any difference for me... I'd have been tried as a heretic back in the good old days anyway. I'd have been something to warm your crumpets over.

I don't know that I myself could give you an adequate answer...for I do not practice the two as one myself. But there are various websites of the combining of Wicca and Christianity.

I think it falls into something along the lines of interpretation of what witchcraft was in the day the bible was written. Again I'm possibly talking out of my bum, I'm not as educated about it as some. Maybe I'll talk to my girlfriend who does in fact do both...then maybe i can come back with a more personable and informative reply.

I do. I'll just have to see when I can get a flight out of Florida. Oh and I have to get a passport, that will only take a year. Our government is a little behind on passports. What airport is closest to you, BM.? LOL

Naw, it doesn't matter Darkwind.... you can fly into Dublin, and get a dorm sized fridge and hitchhike to Geri's house just like this guy did:



Round Ireland with a Fridge

(great travel guide to Ireland, highly recommended, and FUNNY)

I'd pick Christian, but then I'd have to give up the OTHER, other white meat...BABY!

*waves to Dark*

I read the reviews..does sound funny lol.... Belfast International is closest to me lol


Hey DarkWind....I'll swop you places...since I love going to FLA a lot...here's the deal...house swop...for a month or so...LOL
