This reminds me of a girl I knew about 7 years ago in college. When I asked her why she left the faith to become an atheist she replied bluntly 'I really just wanted to sleep with my boyfriend and not feel bad about it.'

We maybe seeing what 1 Timothy 4:1-5 states: Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

I guess being a “witch” is a lot better than using homosexuality or “transgenderism” as a way to “rebel”.

I have fewer issues with witches than I do with moslems.

I remember these rumors and accusations during the Reagan’s first term. Same thing. Wrath of God, dogs sleeping with cats, end of the world.

I live in the South East, I drive by 12 churches just going to the grocery store, some of them small, the church couldn’t fit more than 30 people, and some of them are Super Baptist centers and others in between.

This is what happens when you take God out of our schools, when you take God out of our cities, States and Country...

If this is what is happening, seems to me that God had better be allowed back into the lives of people...

And Amen to VaeVictis:

Welcome to the 1990’s.

I remember having a conversation with a Wiccan Sunday School student.

Her: “Wiccans don’t worship Satan”
Me: “Can they practice Wicca anyway they like?”
Her: Yes”
Me: “So they could worship Satan if they wanted”
Her: “No they couldn’t”
Me: “Do you even know what you believe?”

She also believed that witches can really do magic but the Salem Witch Trials were bogus because nothing bad could have happened. Which makes no sense.

You mean putting books like “Harry Potter” in the hands of a generation of 7 & 8 year olds has led to an increase in them growing up and dabbling in witchcraft? I’m shocked I tell ya. I thought it was just supposed to encourage them to read...

Probably has something to do with all the fishhooks in their faces.
Another thing for attention that they will regret in 20 years.

Ya, the first five books of the OT are replete with this type of rebellion,

2 Timothy 3:1-7 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.

And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

because many young adults are seeking ways to rebel against their conservative Christian upbringings.

I can't help seeing Wicca, and other attempts to resurrect various paganisms, as just that -- a deliberate rebellion against Christianity. Wicca's history is shallow, and known.

Wicca has been growing at a rate of more than 100 percent annually in recent years

Yep, from 2 to 4 ... in one short decade!

I knew a few witches but they were not practicing. They did not need practice, they were naturals.

As I had written some time ago, it is the duty, job, assignment, as it were, for every individual who calls themselves Christians, to be of such examples that all the other inhabitants of the world become insanely jealous, and demand to know what makes a Christian tick, and how to get it.

Y’all failed.

However, those that have lived the Pagan lifestyle for many years, do not accept the queers so easily.

“They are wearing the label of Pagan, to cover what would not be acceptable, not because they truly wish to live the Pagan religion.”
