Then Y bring up your religion and try to justify it on a Wiccan Thread?

I don't think he really did. He only said this:

I can certainly sympathize with the pagan impulse as I am myself a Heathen, but why adopt a religion that is wholly constructed rather than one that has actual historical roots? Certainly Heathenry is not free from innovation; no religion is.

I'm not quite sure what you're saying here, but I mentioned Heathenry as one point of contrast, not as a silver bullet. I'm much less interested in talking about Heathenry here and more interested in hearing your answer to:

Only to say that he more or less understands where you are coming from...yet wants to know why you choose a religion that is wholly constructed rather than one with historical roots.

The main point was:

Why adopt a religion that is wholly constructed rather than one that has actual historical roots?

The what Question do you have. This is a thread that deals with Question on Wicca. Some of what you said about wicca is correct but not all of it.
The answer to the fist Question is that it is a religion like most that has a certain pull on some people.
Nis try but we are talking about Wicca and not Heathenry.I follow my religion just like you do yours because it feels right to me and it helps me in my daily life.

Let's try to keep to topic and work on this step by step.In reality, Wicca does borrow and utilize various concepts of different cultures and has a universalist outlook, much as the Hindus. Unfortunately, in the polytheistic community, Wicca has a disreputable reputation because of their open borrowing and reinterpretation of various cultural concepts, which some find to be unacceptable.Fortunately, the American Constitution guarantees freedom of religion..as much to Wiccans as to anyone else.

I think Psychonaut had a legitimate question about Wicca and Wiccans.
