How do you convince a Christian that Wicca isn't the same as Devil Worship?

Home - Quora Link

With difficulty. When you’re raised all your life to believe something, it’s not just your conscious mind that has to be convinced, it’s the years of conditioning that has to be unloaded before the immediate gut-wrenching hair-trigger reaction doesn’t go off.

Things you might point out include:

• The pentagram was originally a Christian symbol.
• Wiccans can believe in Jesus, just not the same way Christians believe in him.
• There have been plenty of Christian cults throughout history that looked exactly like modern Wicca.

But even then it’s an uphill battle. You have to measure your victories in ever-finer terms, starting with, “they aren’t begging me to read the Bible every time I see them.”
