Anyway, forgot to add.. the point I was simply making with my original post was that it happened such a long time ago... and... frankly (using the basis that it is true) he was up on a cross at the time, quite high up I imagine.. so I don't think his dying words would have been very clear unless...
Very true.
I think you've hit the nail on the head there.
Just because I am not christian, therefore see the great creator as something slightly different, that doesn't mean I won't cede a good point when it's made. ;)

The following is a comprehensive list of the world renowned historians who were alive at the supposed time of Jesus or in the century following and it is of conclusive proof that not one of these meticulous recorders and archivists of the history of...
Bear with me and I'll get the details.... while I'm at it I'll find you a reference on not jumping to conclusions because someone's opinion doesn't agree with your own - I am NOT anti-christian, I simply do not follow that faith. I think I might find you a book on manners too.

Every wiccan would as then it gives them a history that otherwise they couldn't lay claim to as Wicca actually originated in the 1950s with Gerald Gardner and therefore didn't predate Christianity... however, Witchcraft - or what we believe to have been witchcraft (not having a time machine we...
actually, where AC, Wicca and Witchcraft are concerned I actually said it isn't known for sure but that apart from his association with Gardner he had nothing to do with it.
I'm sorry, but no it isn't. They are two seperate entities running parallel to each other.
A witch is somebody who casts spells using the natural cycles as allegory and guide. He/she might also summon spirits, work ritual magick, and so forth. These spells can be of any nature at all.

It's just a word :: shrug :: it doesn't really bring anything to mind for me.... when I first set out on my path, God and Goddess - as words - were extremely important.. but after a while you realise that it's just a word... I prefer "divine spirit", "deity" as they do not force a gender onto my...
