Like it or not, Wiccan is a recognized religion, albeit one that is pagan, and that by their own admission. I personally can't remember a Wiccan ever claiming to be a Christian, although here I'm speaking of ones who proudly proclaim themselves such. I do know more than a few self-professed Christians who are really pagan at heart.
Even so, should such a person appear here at the Religion Forum, my personal approach would be to query them about their beliefs concerning the essential tenets of Christianity (you all know what they are). It would be pretty clear in their answers that the two faiths are incompatible.
There is a more important point to be made at that juncture, I think. Let's say that someone - anyone - continues to be a Christian against all available evidence. It seems to me that we have some Biblical instruction about that very situation, something about "shaking the dust from your sandals". If everyone simply ignored posters whose positions are intellectually bankrupt, not to mention spiritually questionable, believe it or not they will simply go away in most cases. No one can withstand the silent treatment for very long. And for the occasional exception of the rule who insists on making a pest of himself, well ... that's one of the things we moderators are here to handle.
But "Defending the Faith" has been a rallying cry to the death for the past 2,000 - 5,000 years. All jokes aside, it's no small matter to people of faith.
I agree. But ... shouldn't the point of our defense be to win converts rather than to drive people away?

Hey ... you're good!
May God be with you as you take on this challenge.
If I read you right (maybe between the lines), you are the reason why the Religious Forum still exists.
Thank-you.
