Mystical Angels

Everybody: Is this wrong of me? I feel like it is, but then again I don't?

Okay, so I'm sixteen and during the summer I've really gotten into Wicca. I've went to various websites and am working on reading some more books on the subject. However, my step-mom is a hardcore Christian. My dad, although he doesn't pray, read the Bible or go to church considers himself a Christian as well and won't even let my buy tarot cards. My step-mom found the websites I looked at, and I told her it was just out of curiosity. Since school began I got involved in the Youth for Christ program and go to church with her. It's not that I'm into Christianity now, I'm just trying to get her to see me as a "good Christian daughter" so that she'll leave me alone and hopefully drop her suspicions. I hide all my Wiccan-related papers and books now and don't even watch shows like 'A Haunting' or even the documentaries on the occult on History Channel like I used to. I feel that I'm lying to her, which I guess I am, but I know if I tell her that I'd probably get kicked out of the house or forced to believe in the Christian ways. I don't want to move back in with my mom (we get in loads of fights, physical and verbal) but I don't want to be force-fed Christianity either. So, should I continue doing this or what? I mean, I'm sixteen, seventeen come February, and I feel that since I'll be out of the house soon enough, it's okay. But it just makes me feel bad because although she's a b!tch, I would like to think of myself as an honest person, and I can't with me lying to her all the time. :D

1. Jesus loves you, and doesn't want you hurt. "Wicca" is demonic and will most certainly hurt you. Believe in Jesus. The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to eternal hell, is by believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Believe this and you will be in heaven, no matter what! Please pray now: "Jesus, please forgive me of my sins. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and You rose from the dead. Thank You for eternal life!" You will be in heaven with Him forever when you die. :)
2. Well you're avoiding a situation for now. But think ahead. When you leave the house will you continue pretending that you're christian and not interested in Wicca? It may be worse when you move out and your parents find out that you've been two-faced about it. Or they'll just be really confused. Just consider things in the long run. (I'd recommend just being upfront and civil about it.)
3. I say she should respect your beliefs, and if she still believes she has to restrict you from them, shove the first amendment into her face and tell her to sit down and be quiet.
4. Just wait till you leave and pay your own bills. Until then you should respect the rules of the house.You consider yourself honest, but you are doing dishonest things.If you were my daughter I would make it abundantly clear that those things are not allowed in my house.Either they go or you go, your choice. If you want to make decisions, then get in a position to be independant.
5. That is very noble of you. Can You answer this though. If you believed in Wicca and satanic rituals wouldn't that mean that you believe there must be a God but for some reason you have chosen the Losing Side? The Bible does talk about soothsayers and that they are evil. That's one thing i never understood about Wicca/black magic/satanism
6. 1. Follow Christ because you want to, not because you have to. 2. Yes, there are test(s) in the covers of many 'Bibles' today in USA. (Hint; just because a person takes a test, does not mean they pass the test does it)??? 3. Want more info on the above assertions, email me soon.
7. Lying isn't good. Neither is the fear of getting kicked out of the house. If you think the likely result of her knowing would be your expulsion, you shouls stop researching Wicca until you are an adult and can support yourself. once you have your own apartment, you can do whatever you want without guilt. If you think your dad would be more open-minded, and you really want to discuss it with someone, I would say talk to him first.
8. Only you can decide what to do. What's most important to you? Comfort or honesty? Neither one is the ''right'' thing to do... but one will be better for you. Now, as for me, you know that I would act all Sationist, and put those bitches in their place! :)
9. Be honest to yourself...and to your family. They may not like it and you may have problems with them, but end the end you will have stayed honest to yourself and you will feel better because of it. Part of growing up is learning how to deal with problems. You may lose privileges but that is a part of life, it won't last forever. Acting like you are something you are not just to make your life easier is not the answer. They can't force you to be a Christian, we all make our choices. You can keep peace by being polite to your step-mom, and staying home with your dad. Stay off the Wicca sites at home and don't bring the material into their home. Just find another way.
