Religious Decisions. Christians & Wiccans pls read

Hey all

Ive been in somewhat of an odd circumstance lately and i was wondering if anyone can offer me some good advice (Why else would i post in the Advice Section, lol).

Now my history with studying religion goes way back to when Im a Kid. I was always fascinated by the different faiths. What everone beleives & why. I was raised in an Atheist Household so I didnt really have religion in my Raising, in fact i had quite the opposite. As I entered Highschool I found all these people had a religion of some form & i was interested in it. Especially the religion of Wicca (The Craft) which i studied as a hobby. Now i never really got into the craft, Merely observed the practice from a distance for a few years, Spoke to Witch Friends & indulged my knowledge by reading many many books on the topic, learning about why people do it & philosophising as to how they performed some of the minor Magic i have observed & read about.

Now as I entered Highschool i began to make some good friends. One of them was a very strong Christian. She told me about her God & it was interesting too. Eventually i was lead by another Friend into a Pentacostal Church (But not one of those Crazy Vegas Style ones). Even now I have a girlfriend for the first time (I prayed for companionship) and she has joined my church also. This just makes it more confusing.

I have been there to this day & learnt loads and prayed & been helped & stuff but suddenly in recent weeks I feel Drawn Back to the old ways; The ways i studied, Wicca. Now i feel like im caught in the middle. When i go to sleep i dont know wether to pray to Jehova & Jesus or to the Great Mother. I dont know what to think because I think about both faiths & they both feel right, But they cannot cross in my mind. Its tripping me out & i really need to find the next stage on my Spiritual journey, Be it with Jesus or the Mother I do not know.

Thanx everyone for reading and i hope you can help me unconfuddle myself. Cause its Driving me Crazy. Dräçôñís

(-: I am a Pagan Witch.. I follow the ways of Old and Wise. Each Pagan or Wiccan or other Nature Based Faith practices differently than another of the same Faith, so your answers from this Society will always be a different one. (-:  
Date: 7/25/2004 4:15:00 AM  From Authorid: 3835    But none the less.. would be the right choice for them, as they made it through to hear their own callings from within...  
Date: 7/25/2004 5:44:00 AM  From Authorid: 62739    God said let US create man in OUR image. Who is we? (another discussion in itself) I believe it is God (insert His name) and the Goddess Azna (as Sylvia Brown calls Her). Pray to both if you like. Because ALL is Gods, and he is in everything I don't think He would mind Sharing a prayer with Azna. ~ Russ

Date: 7/25/2004 8:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 62682    I agree with LoveisAll....but what you decide only you can decide and make that decision for yourself. I believe that all the answers are within Jesus and are within the scripture....but it can not be pushed on you. In the end you have to make the choice. Good luck hon, I hope you find the answers you are looking for.

Date: 7/25/2004 9:27:00 AM  From Authorid: 15675    Im with Sur5r (just for the record Wiccan here .) Honestly sounds like you study it, you become it, you find another religion, you become it. Chill for a sec ! 1) religion is a tool to get you where your going thus of the batrillion different religions out there you may find none (as they currently are) suit you and thats fine. You dont have to be a strict religion as long as you know what YOU personally believe. 2) why not study things other then the beloved craft or Christianity? Hinduisim, Islam, Judiasim, Shintoism, Buddism, Taoism, other forms of Paganisim, Voodism, and heck even Satanisim all exist out there (those are only a few by the way) and unless you've studied them all past a fleeting glance you may never know if any of those suit you better. To top it off I cant tell you its okay in Christianity but in there are a lot of sects of Wicca calling themselves 'Christian-Wiccans' where they combine the two belief systems. Honestly I dont see the need to go all out, why cant you believe/worship Jesus (from a Wicca point of view) and just be a plain Wiccan? I suggest you try these sites: witchvox.com (for the Christian-Wiccan thing), about.com (their spirituality section is amazing), and beliefnet.com (again same thing.) Hope I helped

Date: 7/25/2004 9:38:00 AM  From Authorid: 50678    Well I am my own religion, I believe and worship the christian God as well as the Goddess, I do witchcraft and I'm very spiritual. When I do to bed to don't really prayer but when I need to I pray to God, if I'm sick I will turn to the Goddess. You can turn to both!! I have found that practicing witchcraft has brough me closer to God and I love it!! So you can worship both the father and the mother!! It has worked for!!  
Date: 7/25/2004 9:42:00 AM  From Authorid: 50678    Don't take something away that you love, if you love both be both!!  
Date: 7/25/2004 9:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 50678    You will find your way, let your path guide you to your answers!!  
Date: 7/25/2004 1:09:00 PM  From Authorid: 3835    That is what I did... I studied many different ways of Worship, not to become what they practice, but to compare with my own beliefs and strength in my own faith that my path was the correct one for myself. Many feel that we are satan or devil worshipping, and the truth be known, that spirit does not exisit for us at all.. that is another religion altogether known as Voodoo or Satanics, not Wiccan or Paganism.
