This wouldn't be a problem if we could all just respect each other and what the other believes and holds sacred to them.

Careful now.

Christians might learn something truthful.

Do Wiccans teach Catholicism in their schools?



Like how to lop off a head for Beltane?
Wiccans use public schools not private and they don't lop off heads and it is far from devil worship which many like to put out there

no it really isn't

I don't think they allow any type of religious speak in their schools

what are you referring to here?
Probably the human sacrifices that occurred in some non-Wiccan but "pagan" religions.

I mean, he already said that he can't tell the difference and doesn't believe there is a difference.

Wicca is so different than what is presented, so it really should be taught to dispel the fear doesn't matter to me but if we ask for respect then we should give respect...

I believe Wicca should be presented as a option in the curriculum along with all the rest that are taught



Religious symbols in clock-wise order: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Baha'i, Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Rodnoveri, Celtic pagan, Heathenism, Semitic pagan, Wicca, Kemetism, Hellenic pagan, Roman pagan.

What do you mean set up a Wiccan School? The Catholic system teaches world religions, now they will add Wicca to the list.

What about Rastafarianism, mon?
sure you can add that too...I don't know what the curriculum calls for...only that they teach tolerance and world religion unlike when I attended when they taught only Catholics went to heaven... even an eight year old could easily see through that B.S.

Jewmaicans.

Why would Jesuits consider dirt worship as an equally valid faith?

Lol, you are making a pretty strong case for why this course would be useful.

It seems like it would be especially important within a school that is otherwise very fixated on one religion.

Going through a course like this to learn about the history of different religions, what people believe, and why they believe it, in a matter of fact and objective way, can really improve the ability of students to have empathy for other people and their beliefs.

If the course is taught as "this is why they are wrong and we are right", it would have the opposite effect.

In the sky? Omnipresence means everywhere.

Oh, in that case, that makes way more sense.........

If she is everywhere, wouldn't she also be in the dirt too?
