Bryan Fischer is bringing out the pitchforks and torches, warning America about the rise of “ancient, recycled superstition" called Wicca.
Fischer says that Wicca is “the worship of Satan” and a “spiritual warfare” against Christians.
As Wiccan numbers increase Bryan Fischer calls it “evangelism in witchcraft and demonism.”
Fischer begins by saying that “Russell Moore of the Southern Baptists falsely says we are not a Christian nation.” We were and are a nation of mostly Christians but that is a far cry from the claim that the United States was founded as a Christian nation.
According to Fischer, in 1892 the Supreme Court ruled that the United States is a Christian nation. This of course isn't true. In fact, Justice Brewer states in Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 143 U.S. 457 (1892), that “These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation.”
Then Fischer seems to have forgotten the Treat of Tripoli (1797) which states, “the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”
Fischer’s is in shock that Wiccans are meeting “right out there in front of God and everybody” in a coffee shop, where they dared to talk about members of their group visiting a local cemetery to commune with the spirits. Fischer can't believe “they’re not hiding this."
Fischer calls Wicca the “modern version of ancient Pagan religion.”
Yes and no, because even though Wicca is often called the “Old Religion” Wicca is really not old, but new.
Wicca is not from the old religion. Rather it is an collection of beliefs, some old, some new.
Wicca incorporates many of the beliefs of ancient cultures, just like the beliefs of Fischer’s Christianity.
While Fischer refers to the Wiccan religion as superstition Thomas Jefferson regarded Christianity as “our particular superstition."
'Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone' - and as usual the there are rocks flying everywhere.
