[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If you believe in God (in the Creator sense), I can't see how you're polytheistic. Only because those who believe in God (the Creator) follow the "worship no other gods" commandment. How does that vibe with your belief in goddesses, etc? [/quote]

I'm not beholden to the Christian commandments because I am not a Christian.[/quote]

Different PP here. That's fair enough. I think the question is, are you

1. monotheistic, in terms of the God and goddess being different aspects of one universal, godly power,

2. polytheistic, because the Wiccan God and goddess are seperate beings. If that's the case, what are their different attributes? I imagine a Zeus/Hera analogy is completely wrong. In what attributes do these gods differ?[/quote]

That's a really gray area and a tough semantic question to answer. I believe in one higher power that has two faces, so take that as you will.

The Goddess is the moon. She represents fertility and her three forms, the Mother, the Maiden, and the Crone, represent the stages of life. She is associated with birth and life.
The God is the sun. He represents masculinity and is associated with nature and death and rebirth.[/quote]

It sounds like you don't believe in many gods, but rather two (a female counterpart to the Christian "God").

Question: who do Wiccans credit with creating living things? Do you believe in the theory of evolution? What is your stance on heaven/hell?[/quote]
