Jess, yes here it is www.thecraft.com/craftchristvswicca.htm and there
are other very informative sites also.

One of my favorite sites is http://www.witchvox.com/. There are quite a
bit of people in the North east who follow the Wiccan Path!

There are many who practice witchcraft. And all are not the same. Most
so called witches who are wiccan do not beleive in the devil or hell and
do not beleive in hurting anyone with casting of spells. When casting a
spell or having a ritual, it is similar to people in other religions
such as christianity, who are faith healers and pray to god for
miracles and healins, churches burn candles during masses and use
incense. Most of the Christian holidays are based on the original old
religions also known as Pagan religions.

Christianity vs. Wicca.

Christianity
Monotheism. Christianity is monotheistic, meaning there is only one
supreme God. A Christian is supposed to worship none other than God.
Wicca
Duotheism/Polytheism. Depending on the person's beliefs, Wicca is
duotheistic or polytheistic. This means that there are more than one
deity. For most Wiccans, there are two -- the God and the Goddess. For
others, there are entire pantheons of gods (like the Greek gods and
goddesses) each with different characteristics.

Christianity
Heaven. Heaven is the eventual destination of the soul of a "good"
Christian.
Wicca
Summerland. Summerland is the place where the Wiccan's soul goes to rest
before being reincarnated.

Christianity
Afterlife. Heaven or Hell for eternity
Wicca
Afterlife. Life seen as a series of lessons learned through
experiences. The Soul takes as many lifetimes as it takes to learn all
that it can through the human experience.
Upon learning all that it can, the Soul proceeds to the next plane of
existance. There is no concept of Hell in Wicca

Christianity
Salvation. Acceptance of Jesus Christ to be God in the flesh, and that
he died on the cross to pay the debt for all sin. Followed by admission
of sin and acceptance of Jesus Christ into one's heart, thereby
beginning a life of service to God.
Wicca
Salvation. As Wiccans do not believe in Hell, the most common thought
here is, "saved from what?" Progression to the next plane is outlined in
the Above section on the Afterlife.
Christianity
No Reincarnation. After death, the soul remains in Heaven or Hell
eternally.

Wicca
Reincarnation. After death, the soul is reincarnated into a new physical
being. (This cycle just keeps going and going.)

Christianity
Satan. In Christianity, there is a supreme evil known as the Devil or
Satan who is considered the ruler of Hell.
Wicca
No Satan The God and Goddess represent both the dark and the light, the
balance. There is no supreme evil in Wicca.

Christianity
Hell. The sinners/those who did not let Jesus into their lives are sent
to eternal damnation in Hell.
Wicca
Karma. In Wicca, there is no Hell. The three-fold law or karma returns
all negativity that a person sends out back to that person. This is how
a person "pays" for their evil deeds. Rather than burn in Hell for
eternity, they receive a just punishment from the gods.

Christianity
Prayer. A Christian requests help or guidance from God/Christ through
prayer.
Wicca
Ritual. Wiccans pray, too. But rituals or spells can be considered the
equivalent of Christian prayer. A Wiccan asks their God/Goddess to
provide the protection, help, or results they need through their
magickal workings if not through simple prayer.

Christianity
Divine Power. Christians communicate their needs and wants to God
through prayer with the belief that God will always answer them.
Wicca
Divine Power. Wiccans channel the Divine energy that is in all to a
desired end result, calling on the God and Goddess to support them and
provide the power through them.

Christianity

Healing. Christians believe in natural healing and in medical science.
Many believe in the "laying on of hands" to channel the power of God to
heal.
Wicca
Healing. Wiccans believe in natural healing and in medical science.
Wiccans also channel the Divine power to heal

Christianity
Bible. Scriptures that tell of the life of Christ and guidelines for
Christian living. Told through the eyes of the Christian prophets.
Wicca
Book of Shadows. Wiccans have no set book of scripture. The Book of
Shadows is what Wiccans make on thier own. It is a compilation of all
the lessons and experiences while on the Wiccan path. It is most often
used as a reference book.

Christianity
Sex. Christians see sex as sacred. Sex is to be bound within marraige
and commitment. Though, a very small percentage (we hope) have been
known to ignore this.
Wicca
Sex. Wiccans see sex as sacred. Wiccans have very high morals that
govern sex. Most often, sex is bound within marraige and commitment.
Extremely few Wiccans see "open" relationships as okay with them. They
do not judge ones who choose to do the open relationship as wrong,
however. And, a very small percentage have been known to go outside
their marraiges

Christianity
Ten Commandments. Have no other gods, make no "graven" images of
anything, don't take the Lord's name in vain, pray and rest on the
Sabbath day, honor your father and mother, do not kill, do not commit
adultery, do not steal, do not "bear false witness" against your
neighbor, don't covet anything that's not yours.
Wicca
Wiccan Rede. One very simple rule. "An it harm none, do as ye will."

Christianity
Holidays - Christian holy days, like Easter and Christmas, celebrate
important days in the life of Jesus Christ (birth, resurrection).
Wicca
Sabbaths are based on important events in the Bible and in
Christianity's history. Sabbats. There are eight sabbats which are
celebrated by Wiccans. They have little difference from the main
Christian holidays because the Christian holidays have their origins in
pagan celebrations which existed BEFORE Christianity.

Christmas originated from the pagan Yule celebration, and Easter comes
from the pagan sabbat of Eostar.

Christianity
Church/Temple Sanctuary of Christian worship or the house of God.
Wicca
Circle/Coven Some Wiccans may have temples, but most worship and
practice rituals within a circle cast anywhere necessary. Others may
consider their covenstead (where their coven meets) a place of
sanctuary.

Christianity
Judgementalism. Christians are taught "judge not that ye not be
judged" but many are judgemental anyway.
Wicca
Judgementalism. Wiccans are taught "judge not that ye not be judged" but
many are judgemental anyway.
Right or Wrong.

Christians usually see that anyone who isn't one is doomed for Hell.
Christians often believe that there is only one right and true way to
spirituality and enlightenment and Heaven. Right or Wrong.

There is only one specific problem that most Wiccans have with
Christians. Wiccans see many paths to spirituality, enlightenment, and
the Summer Land.

So be it!

I pass by the ones that have nothing in their profile. How are you going
to get someone attracted to you if you don't write anything in your
profile?

Rudyderrick, I thought when you did undercover work it 's not suppose to
be discussed? You just said you're going undercover on myspace. You
don't know if anyone here might be a child molester, you could of spilt
the beans about your undercover operations!

I thank cops for doing that but you should be wise enough not to blow
your cover or the operation!

I love to make out for a long time even when other things can be
happening. It's all about the kiss, tender touch and caress that
stimulates my mind and body before the sex. It makes it more intense!

Sorry to inform you that most people have been opressed for one reason
or another. Not just because of religion. Look at the Native Americans,
opressed and beaten down like dogs, their land was taken, white men
killed them off with smallpox blankets to eliminate their race.
Afroamericans, Chinese, Japanese,Irish, Mexican, Polish, Jewish, etc,
etc, etc. Women have been opressed and so have children. Freedom of
Speech, Freedom of religion, Freedom to Live and Let Live, yet we are
hypocrits when we deny someone who wants the same!

Ever hear of this:

Separation of church and state is a political and legal doctrine which
states that government and religious institutions are to be kept
separate and independent of one another. Primarily discussed in the
context of United States law and politics, the term most often refers to
the combination of two principles: secularity of government and freedom
of religious exercise.[1]

The prevalence of the term "separation of church and state" is generally
said to derive from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802 to the
Danbury Baptists, in which he referred to the First Amendment of the
United States Constitution as creating a "wall of separation" between
church and state. The phrase was then quoted and endorsed by the United
States Supreme Court first in 1878, and then in a series of cases
starting in 1947. This led to popular and political discussion of the
concept, as well as criticism that the phrase overstates the limits
created under the Constitution.

Although primarily discussed in the context of the United States (and
more specifically United States constitutional interpretation), the
concept parallels various other international social and political
ideas, including secularism, disestablishment, religious liberty and
laicite.
