LOL that was cute.

Now. My opinion of wicca. Humans feel the need to label everything. Without labels the mind could not function. A person could say that they believe in "God", we automatically assume they are Christian and base generalizations on them without even thinking about it. Same goes for anyone who believes in the Goddess.. Christians will think "Satanist".. Many others will think "Wiccan" and will apply generalizations accordingly.
MY point is... "Wicca" is just a label, not a religion.There is no structure to it what so ever. I have never met two "Wiccans" ( i use that term loosly) who have the same beliefs.. but many will answer "Wiccan" to the question "What are you?". This seems to be the easiest way to explain what they are to others instead of making an essay form to explain their actual beliefs. If they were to do that (put it in essay form to fully explain). . the person who asked what they were would just ask them if they are Wiccan after anyway. It saves time, period.

You could EASILY apply this to Goths... Many "Goths" (again another term used loosely) do not consider themselves to be Goth but when asked if they are a goth will usually just say "yes" instead of making a big story as to why they aren't goth. again it saves time. When you explain yourself over and over again to people with the same questions time after time it gets redundant. The short answer is easier but not always the best.. but it works.

This is an opinion... don't go off on me about it, it will be a waste of time on your part.


edit--- didn't know html was turned off in this forum.
