You may wonder why Jesus and the Bible keep cropping up in a site about Wicca.
Good question!
Here are five reasons.
1. It's Here Even If We Don't Look At It
Since infancy we are steeped in the cultural beliefs of Judeo-Christianity. These have become the "common sense" of our culture, operating on a subconscious if not conscious level.
So let's bring it out into the open.
That way we can ascertain whether a belief is valid to us, or whether it's merely a subconscious programmed-responses drilled into us by society.
2. Defining the Terms of the Conflict
Since Jesus and the Bible are so often used as a weapon against Wiccans (among others), it seems reasonable to put the Bible back into a spiritual context .
After all, when you understand what Jesus really said, it's clear that there's no reason for conflict between Christianity and other religions.
So let's be clear what Jesus taught. Then we'll know how to answer those who attack us in, ironically, his name.
The core of his real teachings is not far from ours.
5. For the Christian Witches
There are many people synthesizing the two traditions into one spiritual path: Christian Wicca. These reference will be particularly of interest to this group of Wiccans.
Many people are (naturally) a little allergic to Christianity, having had it shoved down our throats so persistently.
