This tenet has been used as an excuse to behave in self-centered ways that no tribal society would tolerate.”

any person can use any religion, without exception, to justify their own behaviours. a true understanding of the wiccan rede is to understand that purely selfish behaviours are in fact harmful to the self and others – – there is a reason that it hasn’t been changed to “do what you want as long as it doesn’t harm anyone” — – the emphasis is on *do no harm*

it isn’t that i feel defensive on these points; it’s just that they are being represented completely incorrectly.
