World Religions Paper

World Religion Paper (Rough Draft) By: Allison Workman The religion that I have decided for my report is Wicca. Wicca is the religion of Witchcraft likewise alluded to as the Craft. There are numerous legends that are related with the Wiccan religion. Witches don't perform ride brushes and they are not â€Å"bad or scary† individuals. Truth be told most witches are ordinary individuals we interact with consistently. I have learned many fascinating realities with regards to my weeks exploring this religion. As of now my site visit and meeting have not been finished because of family clinical issues with my source. Be that as it may, the meeting and site visit are both planned for April 3, 2011 I will endeavor to present a rundown of those by mid week one week from now for survey. Look into Wicca and Christianity are very comparable from multiple points of view. In any case, there are immense contrasts in the convictions of the gatherings also. Both Christianity and Wicca have an image that is noticeable inside the religion. Christians have the cross that speaks to the passing of Jesus to wash away the transgressions of humankind. Wicca’s image is the pentagram. Regardless of the reports to the opposite the pentagram isn't the image of a Satanist; in truth Satan doesn't exist in the Wiccan culture. The pentagram is the image of the four components (water, air, fire, earth) and the sprit which draws them all together. The two religions have bunches that revere together. Christians call these gatherings and they typically meet in a Church. At the point when a gathering of witches accumulate to adore the gathering is alluded to as a Coven and they for the most part practice outside however not generally. A few Covens will assemble at the home of the High Priestess to adore. Meeting spots will vary from Coven to Coven. A significant number of the Ethical and Social perspectives on these religions are comparative too. The Wiccan Rede is â€Å"If it hurts none, do what you will†. Christians by and large attempt to live by the Golden Rule. â€Å"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you†. These two expressions have a comparable significance. The two religions accept that ladies and men are equivalent in esteem as people. The two religions additionally acknowledge ladies in mainstream influential positions. All Wiccan strict gatherings accept that ladies should hold strict influential positions too; a few categories of the Christian beliefs are tolerating of this, yet others despite everything accept that men ought to be the strict pioneer of the family/church. The quantity of contrasts between these two gatherings is a lot bigger that the similitudes. One of the most eminent is that Christianity is a monotheistic religion and Wicca is a polytheistic religion. While Christians adore God. The Wiccans adore the God and Goddess at the same time. The Wiccan religion is about balabance so the love of the God and the Goddess connotes the equalization, however the essential concentration to a witch is the goddess. Witches acknowledge homosexuality totally where Christians accept that homosexuality is a transgression. Christians love each Sunday and Witches love on the 13 full moons of the years and furthermore perform customs on the Sabbats.
