Do you actually know anything about Wicca? Of course not. The highest precept of their faith is "do no harm". Not a bad start for a moral foundation I think.

"Do no harm" is the start and finish of Wiccan morality. As Roger Scruton said, this is not an ethical doctrine at all, but modern liberal ideas in their most basic form. It means that there is no right and wrong, beyond the harm you do to others, and that you have no responsibilities to God or anyone else to do what is right. Abortion and buggery are, therefore, a normal part of a pleasure-driven way of life. That is an empty and stupid doctrine if ever I heard one.

Sory bub Wicca goes a lot deeper into morality than that. And "do no harm" would be pretty kick ass all by itself. As for right and wrong well guess what, they ARE defined by your effect on those around you. Abortion does harm no good. Buggery doesn't and more importantly isn't anyones business outside the people involved. You want to talk about empty and stupid? How about filling the internet with self righteous BS that drives people away from your perfect little religion. Like I said before, instead of spending all your time decrying beliefs you're too narrow minded to understand maybe you should be figuring out why Christianity is losing believers.
