 Imiya glared at the back of Aidan's head, but picked his text book off the floor reluctantly when the teacher walked in. So, if you don't worship the devil, who do you worship? He waited until the teacher wasn't looking and threw the paper square at Aidan's head, hitting the middle of the dark hair.

  Aidan was sure that he hadn't done anything to offend Imiya now so after the teacher named off rolecall and began the lesson, he looked over his shoulder and glared when the paper ball hit his head. He bent and picked it up, throwing it back at the redhead as hard - yet quietly - as he could.

Imiya stared in shock. Aidan hadn't even read the note. He growled softly to himself, picked the note back up, and heaved it back at Aidan. "Read it," he hissed as loud as he dared, ducking his head to pretend to be copying notes when the teacher turned to see who was talking.

Imiya bit his lip. Why did he care what god or goddess Aidan worshiped? What was it to him? It doesn't matter to me. I was just asking. He tossed it back to Aidan, giving him a slightly haughty look when Aidan sent him a confused look.

Aidan caught it in his bowled hands and tried to make the paper crinkle as little as possible when opening it. Then he rolled his eyes, grabbed a pencil, and wrote:
Sorry, let me rephrase that: 'why do you care enough to ask?'
Crumple, toss, pretend to be paying attention.

I dunno. The Holy Book tells us to "do unto thy neighbor as you would have your neighbor do unto you", so I'm giving it a shot. It doesn't change the way I feel about you or your witchcraft, because we're also told to shun witchcraft. Crumple, toss, pretend to pay attention. It was becoming easier to pretend as the teacher was rather oblivious.

Reading, Aidan gave a snort. That was real rich. For all of the times that Imiya had picked at him, called him a devil worshipper. Did he do unto thy neighbor as he would have his neighbor do unto him? Aidan didn't think so.
You 'dunno'. Right.
-_-
But I'll point out that you've asked about my religion, knowing I'm of Witchcraft. So, why aren't you shunning me?
I've listened to you antics, so wanna hear mine on your God's theory of Witchcraft? It's perfectably reasonable, I assure.
Toss.
Aidan had to feel slighty sorry for the teacher, who wasn't even noticing that there were more than a handful of students other than Imiya and he passing notes.
He glanced to the teacher, still cautious, though.

Imiya felt a surge of emotions; defense, the need to defend his God Almighty, and fear of what Aidan was going to say. He took a deep breath and wrote I just told you my feelings of your witchcraft hasn't changed. I do shun you. What do you think of God's knowledge of witchcraft?

You have a crappy definition of shun by ever continuing to talk to me, via paper or not.
But anyway, your Bible usually translates as Witchcraft being of evil and hurtful magick ('magic' by your standards, I suppose). The majority of Wicca do not practice that kind of magick for it is wrong and will come back at us three times as bad if we do. Could it be possible, at all, that your God was probably only meaning Witchcraft in the sense of bad doers?
When passing the note back, Aidan tried to show hope in his eyes.

Then, I'll take the consequences of talking to a shunned one! Geez!
The Bible that I learned translates witchcraft as any magic at all that does not come from God Himself. So, no. It is not possible that God was talking only about evil magicians. He was referring to all humans that dare try to take His role of changing what He has created. The Baptist Bible is very strict about that. Imiya gave him an irritated look and shook his head, unable to comprehend how Aidan couldn't not accept God as his one and only Lord and Master. As he copied notes while waiting for Aidan's reply, he fingered the cross he wore around his neck, praying to God for forgiveness for talking to one of the very people he was told not to even associate with.

Aidan sighed wearily, prayed that the Goddess would shed light on the subject for Imiya, and began scribbling.
What has the Wiccan culture tried to change what your God created?

Every time you do a spell or curse someone, you alter what the Lord God has created. It's like... Alchemy. It, too, alters what He created, and is considered evil. Imiya kissed his cross and again begged forgiveness as he tossed the note back.
{{I'm not actually sure about some of this. I'm not Baptist, so I'm sort of making it up as I go.}}

For once in his sixteen years of living, Aidan tried to imagine what it would be like to not be a part of the Craft, to worship a jealous God that wouldn't allow him to preform spells or rituals to praise Him. It seemed so...empty. Aidan shuddered at the sudden feeling of loss, and he rapidly shook his head to clear the thoughts.
He pressed the eraser of his pencil to his lips, sitting sideways in his chair as he tried to explain how in Wicca it wasn't changing a thing. Aidan looked back at Imiya as if he would give him the answer, watching as he was crossing himself.
And he did.
It's a different form of worshipping, that's all, but it is all just imagery in the mind's eye. It's like how a Christian priest will say bread is Christ's body and wine is his blood. Our magick is probably only as real as that. How is a priest turning average bread and wine into blood and flesh? {{ooc: Don't worry x] I don't mind - just keep on what you're doing. Ablib if you don't know the details. It's all good with me~}}

Imiya snorted. He doesn't turn the bread and wine to flesh and blood. The bread represents the body, the wine the blood, of Christ Jesus who died for our sins and gave sinners a second chance to get into the kingdom of Heaven. And if 'magick' is only as real as the bread, wine, flesh, and blood, it should be feared even more than the priests know. Christ Jesus was a living person who cared for his people. The bread and wine are tangible. Can you touch your magic? Imiya knew the argument was shallow. Even to his own mind it was shallow and narrow minded, but he didn't care.
