Religious Questions


I’m mostly closest to being Wiccan myself, of which there are relatively few decent web sites around to answer your questions. Sometimes Christian people like to suggest that you consider Christianity as your source of guidance. That’s obviously what happened to the owner of this site [geocities.com] too, as she took the time to reproduce this set of questions that anyone who might want her to convert to Christianity should be able to answer [geocities.com]. Also take a look at this page [geocities.com] too where she seems to slightly change her mind and states that she’s re-writing the questionaire. I wouldn’t re-write it though, I mean then you might miss out on such gems as -

"If a Catholic, justify the Inquisition and other persecutions of “heretics” throughout the centuries, concentrating on why the Pelagianists, the Priscillianists, and the Manichaeans were persecuted; if a Protestant, justify the witch trials and the way that Protestants constantly hunted down native Americans until there were so few that the government could simply take their land; if a member of an Eastern Orthodox church, justify the persecutions of the Old Believers after the reforms of the seventeenth century."

and

"All of the various Christian denominations ignore parts ofthe Bible, usually because those parts of the Bible are inconvenient. Explain which parts of the Bible your sect ignores, and explain why it is OK to ignore those parts of the Bible."

and some of the other classic questions in there that have been well thought out, though as the site’s owner says some of them have a sharp cynical edge. (But hey, that’s ok with me, I like cynical.)

Thanks to Mr Rhys [rmsith.org.uk] for setting me onto this one… :)
