Why do people choose to believe Wicca or whatever it is they believe? Personally, I feel that the choice a person makes about belief is personal, and not something they should be judged about. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone felt the same way? I also believe that it is rude to assume that because someone else doesn’t believe the same way as I do, that they are wrong about their chosen beliefs. This, however, is just what “I” believe.

I never attempt to tell someone what they should believe, nor do I try to convince anyone to believe as I do, and feel that it is rude to assume that people are incapable of choosing for themselves. Why do so many people choose to argue over such a personal choice? I have no answers for this.

So many wars in this world are fought because of the diversity of faith and religion, and for what? Since there are no proven scientific answers about how we got here, how our earth was formed, or why there are so many types of people on so many different types of continents here, or where we go when we pass on, there will always be a variety of beliefs that people choose about it! The key word here is “choice”

Almost everyone has an opinion, and I say “so what”! We own our beliefs, and all the fighting in the world will not change this. And why on earth should anyone want to change another persons’ beliefs? Oh, I almost forgot that there is a group that thinks I’ll go to a place called “hell” if I don’t believe as they do… sounds manipulative to me… I think one must believe in hell before they can truly fear going there, right?

I choose Wicca because it surrounds, enhances, celebrates, and respects all on earth that can be seen, felt, touched, and understood by my own personal sense of reality and the goodness that it continues to blast into my life and the lives of those I love! No one tries to force me to attend anything by telling me something bad will happen if I don’t, and no one asks for my money. No one tells me which gods or goddesses to kneel before, or on which day of the week. I also believe that each baby born is spiritually perfect, not born a sinner until saved by some unseen figure to be feared.

Remember, people create religions, not gods, goddesses, dogs, cats, plants, or anything else. Just people. For me, I choose Wicca. You choose what you like.
