I have a really great summer job, the only thing is that it is at a Christian camp. I am Wiccan. I don't have anything against Christians it's just that I am afraid that my campers will ask me about God and the devil and heaven. Should I give them the generic "God loves you" answer or can go further and talk about other religions with them??

I'm sure that you're a bit confused by all these answers. I was just trying to imagine myself in your place and I knew I was. So, I'll just give you an answer that'll combine a few an form what I think is best for you.
1. Among the old rules of Wiccanism stands a point of secrecy. Sure, it's not exactly valid anymore, since the Burning Times had passed, but I advise you to follow this policy. Just tell them the old Christian views and they won't bother you.
2. If you feel daring, then you could tell them that you view God differently. Tell them that there are many people who have a different picture of God, because it fits their personality better. Since people are diffenert, they can't believe in God the same way.
3. If you feel *really* daring, the you can tell about some Wiccan believes. However, I don't really suggest that you do this. You may get fired. Or, if there are kids in the camp, they can get confused, because they are recieving different things from home. Some people may even get angered, since it's a Christian camp. Don't forget. In America, they like to sue.
Anyway, have a good time and only talk about religion if you have to.
MP & BB, Zelda
