Witches/Wiccans have been slandered (and worse) by Christians throughout history. You continue to do so by using the loaded term "witchcraft".
Anyway, you have him pegged wrong as a Wiccan. He's a student of many religions and mythologies. I'd be more likely to peg him as a Buddhist than anything, but even that label doesn't stick too well.

Ok, but to me and probably most any other Christian, "same difference". That is Christian that hasn't yet changed sides without knowing by embracing things outside of the traditional Christian world. Now I've stepped in some deep doodoo. By traditional Christian world, I mean only that espoused by the Bible. This leaves out a lot of so-called Christian religions.

...and probably most any other Christian, Please, don't. You'll be far less likely to incite others if you stick to what YOU believe.

I have my reason, dusted with a little faith. I know I don't know what to believe.

Indeed, Tom. The moment you think you're the real deal and everyone else is just pretending... that's when you can be sure you're not the real deal.
Cat, didn't Roger Morneau leave the Catholic Church precisely because he was put off by the belief that there was no salvation outside the church? You're doing the same thing by claiming you and those who believe as you do are the only Real Christians™. What hypocrisy.

Just believe in yourself, and nothing outside of that, as I do. For that is all we can truly know and trust IMO.
The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

..hypocrisy.. My religion doesn't believe there is no salvation outside of a particular church. Only, that you are judged based on what you know, and what you do with what you know. (Knowledge based on what is in the Bible).
It's all about character transformation.
One problem with just believing in yourself is it seems to leave little to grow into, where as, when you have someone who lived a perfect life as a model to attain to gives much more room for growth.
