Nervous to Write School Paper About Wiccan Beliefs
Hey!
Just a bit of wiccan rambling, i'm a bit nervous see We jsut started back at school for the year, and at my school re is compulsory. We had to write a letter to our re teacher telling them about our faith and religous beliefs. I sort of was honest, i avoided all W words (witch, wicca), but i said i believed in the goddess and god, and talked a bit about sabbats, and now i'm sort of regretting it, only one teacher knows i'm wiccan and thats my old drama teacher, so i'm worried how this one will react....
oh well, just a quick blurt, sorry to u guys who wasted ur time reading it

I don't see what you are worried about. You have the right to your religious beliefs, and you shouoldn't have to hide them. Does your re preach christianity? I went to a Catholic school but I got out before religion so I don't know what it's like, but I wouldn't be afraid if i were you. Stick to your guns and if anyone gets in your face about being Wiccan, just ignor them.

Yah well trying making your parents at a young age take your ass out of christian school. I never believed in it but I got out of religion class. Cause I told the teacher I did not believe in faith at all. Thats when my teacher instead of going to my parents put in in another room to have a study hall and told everyone else in my class I was going to get more help with school. Cause I was a slow learner. Yah so my teacher I found out was wiccan as well and understood it all. SO me prayers and thanks go out to my eigth grade teacher.

I actually think learning about other religions is interesting, but I could see how it might be boring for a teenager. But when you get to be an adult, you'll have a lot of cool knowledge that most people don't have if you study religions. It also helps to be able to debate your relgious standpoint when someone tries to argue with you about it. If you know about a lot of different religions, you can really show off when Christians come along and try to talk you out of your beliefs. You can tell them, "Well, nearly ALL the religions in the world (besides YOURS, you idiot) believe in reincarnation. Christians (and Jews) are the only people dumb enough to think this is our only life EVER." And just other stuff like that. It makes it harder for a Christian to argue their point when you have knowledge of not only YOUR religion, but theirs and everyone else's as well.

Oh i don't find religion boring, i find it really interesting now, it gives us a bit of a chance to understand whats behind the religion, as well as explore others. Even though i'm not christian, a lot of people are so its worth learning i guess! And i think my teachers jsut ignoring it now and assuming im' going through a phase or something lol, she just sort of shrugs me off
