1. Yeah, I know.
I am a witch, and a atheist.

The witch thing must have messed everything up for me.

8. I thought Wicca was a practice.
Religion implies worship of something....

the tombstone of a fallen soldier in Texas? Wicca is a religion... it is not a practice. A religion I happen to admire, btw.

10. I am not judging it either way...
I was asking a question because I was not clear on what it actually was.

11. I was just informing...
not trying to rag on you... I am not Wiccan, but I've known a few in my life. I'd much prefer that TexanWitch respond to any question you might have. :hi:

12. The Wiccans I know insist that it is NOT a religion.
But a practice, like the other poster stated.

I've had several conversations about this...
maybe it's a regional thing.

I believe that tombstones arnow adorned
with the atomic symbol for atheists, but
atheism is not a religion either.

17. Argue with TexanWitch...
I'm not here to argue with you or anyone else. I am standing up for a religion (or what you call a practice). Don't get on my case.

23. I don't click on links...
They infect my computer with unwanted bs.

And, either way you look at it, you are arguing semantics. I am arguing for the rights of Wiccans. :hi:
