Cults and Scene 1. “Pastor, my friend Joe is into Wicca. I tried telling him about Jesus. He tells me that Jesus was just a man. He says that Jesus is fine for me, but that he has his own religion.” “Oh,” I replied.“What else did your friend say?” “He said that there is no such thing as sin. God is really a goddess! We Wiccans celebrate the life of the planet and believe in the power of magic and the power of ‘whatever.’”
Scene 2. A message on an answering machine one morning:“Hi Pastor. I won’t be coming to church anymore. I am no longer a Lutheran. I’m a true believer now. I’ve joined Campus Advance.”
