Don't be offended by my opinion. It's just what it is, my opinion. I explain how things feel to me. That's the way you learn. You present your opinion, and those who dissent discuss it with you. I do not like "The neutral path". It seems to accomplish little in the end. When you don't believe in something, you believe in nothing. This is not to say that Wicca is not something. To me, it feels like believing in nothing of great worth. It's too neutral and therefore seems somewhat wishy-washy. I am christian and I believe in taking care of the planet. I have hunted and yet I don't kill those animals that I would not use. I don't believe in the senseless destruction of things without a purpose. These seem like things people should just inherently know. I don't associate these beliefs with a Wiccan point of view as much as common sense. We don't have to move backward and become Shaman to gain common sense. Instead of moving backward to an even more ancient religion, let's move forward and use the knowledge we have fought for. Improved enlightenment and greater acheivement should be the goal. These things are not granted easily though. Work is required and an active hand needed. It can't be acheived by the neutral path of watching the world go by. Our country was founded on christianity and seems to have flourished well.
