I am constantly made fun of for my religion

I have been a Wiccan since I was 15. Since then, everybody makes fun of me for it. They call me a freak, they call me a psychopath because I wear a pentagram around my neck. What is so bad about neo-paganism that people are so prejudiced against it?
It's a religion, just like Judaism, Christianity, Catholicism, etc.
It deeply upsets me when people call me a 'Satanist' or an insane witch.
Why is society so prejudiced against Wicca?

don't worry lots of other people think that crap is just as silly as what you believe in. I make fun of other religions equally,well not really scifreaks and mormons currently are in the lead for the most lulz.
someone worshiping deities, seasons, goatheads or monsters made of spaghetti are all just about equal is silly factor. Enjoy your pentagrams and crap but think about it for a minute and try not to let it really control you to the point of making irrational decisions.

People naturally ridicule what they fear or don't understand. People like to feel they are part of the "right" group - which is equated with the majority, i.e society at large. Don't let that stuff get you down. Be happy that your life circumstances have afforded you the opportunity to explore outside the mainstream box.

No, I've heard people say that witchcraft is a 'sin' and 'against the lord's will'. Ever heard of the witch burning in the 1800s? Same concept.

Sac up, dude. If you put your religion out there by wearing religious symbols, you are going to get made fun of. Their is not a religion out there that doesn't get made fun of when they wear their religious flair.

Those are all basically the same religion, and they have spent several Millennia destroying religions that are not theirs (like yours).

And you are crying about it. The lions always attack the weakest/ wounded gazelle.
Sac up or stop broadcasting your religion. Being Emo and pagan is gonna get you fucked with.
There is not a Christian alive that has not been made fun of by a different type of Christian when the broadcast their faith.

People have nothing better to do than make other people . They are repressing their own insecurities and/or problems by focusing on other peoples supposed insecurities and/or problems. Some people even go as far as pointing these supposed truths to the person in a way that guaranties hurting them. They make other people suffer so they can get a rush from it. If this isn't the case then they are just plain evil. Hate . At least to some people.
I think that you are following these religions only if you believe what they say is fact. That isn't to say you cannot learn anything from their teachings. The Bible is art. Only a story. Unfortunately it has been rewritten and misused many many many times. The first person to make a change to the original was Constantine the Great, if I remember correctly. I was watching a documentary on Discovery. Supposedly he destroyed parts of it, because he was afraid of losing power. The same goes with the church nowadays. Using it to make money. Tsk tsk tsk.

Why do you lend your intellect to bullshit? Maybe that's why people don't like you. And it IS bullshit. Isn't obvious we're supposed to find our own truth, our own way, through all this?
What makes organised religion so enticing and believable? Herd mentality, alone. "This makes sense to me because there's a room full of hundreds more who believe."
We shouldn't tolerate this bullshit called religion. It's a cop-out for people who are afraid to find their own way.

Perhaps because they've never heard of it? You might want to consider moving out of Ohio and over to one of the coasts. Where I live, people would think nothing of someone wearing a pentagram.

I was Wiccan when I was in High School. It made for a convenient means of adolescent rebellion in a Catholic school.

Well hey ! 
Nice to meet you psychopathic666 Why don't you tell me a little bit more about yourself ? I have a bunch of questions and just have a genuine interest in learning about your religion , yourself and this predicament your in with what you see as intolerant people.
- How old are you ?
- Are you male or female ?
- Do you consider yourself attractive ?
- Do others consider you attractive ?
- Why do you wear a pentagram ? If related to magic, would you care to explain the connection ?
- What kind of people make fun of you ? Are they mostly male or female ?
- What kind of clothing do you wear in public ? Is it different from what you wear on a comfortable evening at home ?
- What kind of music do you listen to and do you listen to it in public ?
- How would you sum up your social life, apart from the apparent hostility from certain people ?
i have some more , but i don't wanna type it out until i see you answering some of these.

but rest assured, i will provide a remedy. teh d0c7or is in the building.
*due to recent events on this forum concerning the usage this title have to say that i am not a real doctor. In fact.. its probably best if you don't listen to me at all
