Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
Go to your library and/or bookstores and find books about Paganism, witchcraft, Wicca, and whatever else you're interested in. I used to be Pagan - and I was baptized - and I think it can help you spiritually.
Please spell and punctuate properly, your question is very difficult to read.

here's some info on wicca:

If you like wicca after reading all of the religious tolerance article, read "maiden moon", one of the best introductory wicca ebooks(PDF):
zrcadlo.mysteria.cz/MaidenMoon1.1.pdf
The religious tolerance site has a lot of info on other religions, too. If you want proof that Christianity isn't the "one true religion", take a look at the skeptic's annotated bible, to see all the contradictions:

Wicca, witch craft, and those religions centered around "magic" are very dangerous and can land you in a scary spiritual situation. Witch craft, fortune telling, and the like is simply demons trying to steal you from God with some false prophecies and powers. For the average person, religion and the belief in a higher power is a way of feeling accepted and loved, and I don't think a book of spells and some fairy dust can love you unconditionally the way Christ can.
But the first rule of witch craft that your sister mentioned really doesn't make sense to me. How can you possibly do what you want without hurting a soul? Unless you choose to live a perfect life, which, good luck with that, you're going to hurt somebody- it's inevitable. So then what, you fall back on some magic spells? With Christianity, everybody sins, that's how human beings are, but you have God's grace to forgive you. I wouldn't rule out Christianity just yet. Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you -- choosing the religion you're going to follow is such a serious decision, so don't take it lightly. :)

Thanks for the rating! And your opinion is not hurtful at all. Everybody graps and accepts things at different times, it's just a matter of what kind of person you are. I know some about other religions, but not enough to educate someone, as I am a Christian myself. Christianity, and any religion for that matter, can be a difficult concept to grasp, but that is where faith comes in. If you have a very scientific mind, I would suggest reading A Case for A Creator, by Lee Strobel. It explains a lot of things, specifically about creation and divine power, and is all around a great book. If there's anything else though, I can try to recommend some other books to you, I'm not much of a reader but I can find a few, or I can answer any questions for you. :)

Well, what you said sounds like common sense, not something that's unique to 14th century witchcraft.
If you're baptized, you're free to change religions. I'm baptized, and I'm an atheist!
Don't worry too much about categorizing yourself. You may just be Agnostic (i.e. believing in the possibility of a higher power, but not believing any specific religion).
Not hurting others is not a religious issue, it's a moral issue. You can be one without the other. As long as you're moral, what you believe doesn't matter!

There is no reason in the world you can't believe in whatever your heart desires. That's the great thing about being a free thinking human being. And being baptized has nothing to do with it. You are not bound by law to believe in any religion.
If it is of your interest, check out Wicca. It is a peaceful religion that has a lot to do with nature and all that is natural.
The world can use another peaceful person if you ask me.
