Who here believes its wrong when people combine religions such as wicca,and satanism?

because I'm a Wicca and people put me in the same category as satanists

The people who do this, are not educated about the different religions. It's just pure ignorance.

People are always going to have opinions, and you have no control over that. Many look down on Wiccans that have NOT combined it with Satanism. What's the difference? Just follow your heart and your path and don't be concerned about other opinions.

I don't know. I don't have any problem being grouped in a general "non-christian" category.

Do you have a particular problem with satanists?

Because people fear what they don't understand. Rather than educating themselves, they'd rather just have the 'us vs. them' attitude about other beliefs.

It's from people who don't take the time to check their sources. They believe what they have been told by someone else and just don't think it's worth looking up, no matter how many times they are told other-wise. Maybe their brains are just so small they don't have room for any more information.

Apples and oranges.

Wrong to combine religions? Not in the sense that you are referring to, no! I do believe that most if not all modern religions (mythologies) and ALL old school religions are fundamentally wrong, but that is a different story. Mixing and matching is not wrong, per say.

Most Christians will call a Wiccan, pagan or any other non- Judeo/christen theist evil and perhaps even sum them up in a generalization referring to them as Satanic in nature. But that is just because they don?t know any better. There are Satanists that practice Wicca, just as there are 'Christians' that practice Wicca.

The fact is that Satanism is not about worshiping Satan, it's a philosophical ideology in direct opposition of biblical lore and ideals and more about the reality and acceptance of human nature.

That said, I never understood the idea of lumping Wicca or Pagan practices with Satanism. After all, other then both being non-Christian, there really isn't much in common between them. Wicca and Paganism are generally Poly-theistic although I have heard of Mono-theistic Wiccan covens. Satanism in atheistic. They believe themselves to be the gods, not some old fart in a thrown in some distant heaven. Generally speaking, most Pagan and Wiccan practices revolve around the idea of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Satanic ideals are more along the lines of "Do unto others as you would, before they do it to you." (Okay, that's a paraphrasing of "Do unto others as they do unto you." But you get the idea.) Although, both (or more accurately all of the above mentioned religions) are based on false notions. Wicca, Paganism, Judaism, Christianity or any theistic faith puts emphasis on non-existent external powers and persons. Satanism and the ilk puts 'faith' and gives power to the self, even if the self is undeserving of it.

I hope this helps.
