Joanna, 1) Its been argued before so you might want to look into the archives, or the very least at deja news. 2) Assuming you are not a troll. No, you cannot be both a christian and a wicca, but... I. You can worship the christian god in a wiccan manner.... II. You can view the christian god through a wiccan filter and create a hybrid tradition of wicca. III. You can do whatever you want, the only limit is that others of both the christian faith and the wiccan faith will not necessarily like or respect you for your decision. And yes, I am god's representive on earth, so yes I am to talk.. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "I've done ..... questionable things." -Roy Batty Tom Hrouda tghrouda@ucdavis.edu * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
