What does the CAW teach about sin and atonement?
Rather than focusing on “right” and “wrong,” whose definitions will vary from person to person, religion to religion, and from one cultural phase to another, we look at the world in terms of cause and effect. If you hurt someone, you have damaged a relationship that will not be as viable for you in the future. If you abuse the planet, you will live in a damaged environment. We are responsible for our actions. It is not our role to pass judgement on one another. We believe that everything is interconnected and the events that occur in one’s life as a result of ignorant or harmful action are usually judgementignorant or harmful action are usually judgement or “punishment” enough. If someone comes to bring harm into our own sphere, we will do what we can to stop them and teach them something different. We do not believe puishment has a lot of value in changing behavior, but teaching does. The Wiccan Rede, “If it harm none, do what thou wilt,” means that we are responsible for our own will
