First off, there is a divine and All Powerful God. He or she is in complete control over all other divine beings and controls the fate of each.
I do believe most of the Bible. I, however do not believe most Christian preachers' interpretations of the Bible.
I believe in a series of "lesser gods", be they "angels" as the purist believes, or actually "godlike" as I believe.
I believe in satan, but not as a worship idol, rather as an icon to represent evil. And in my belief, icons cannot be worshipped.
I believe in the reverence and worship of the Divine Mother. And I believe in ceremonial worship, as set with my basic beliefs. I do not, however believe you will go to hell if you don't go to church on Sunday. Rather, I believe purist Bible which states the body is the temple.
Our bodies, being temples, should be treated as such. They should be kept pure within and free from the evils of the world (meaning satan, if you wish).
Human nature is good, as it was created pure at birth. Evil integrates with human nature as a result of being integrated with the evil around us in the world.
Each person, once old enough to understand and create their own belief structure, is accountable for wrongs they commit.
I believe the Wiccan credo which states, "Do as you will, but harm no one." That is directly inline with Bible teachings: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."-Matthew 7:12 I know Christians will deny these are in any way the same, but I assure you, they are.
