First off...

When did the conflict between Christainity and Wicca start?

No problem about asking questions friend. Only is Jesus' favorite Church will you get TRUE(tm) answeres that are 100% back by Scripture.

As for the conflect between the Wicker and Christianit it started when Satan directed his meat tool Garnder to created Wicca to mock Christianity in the 1950s.

Whats about the burnings at the stake in the 14-1700s?

When did the conflict between Christainity and Wicca start?

The conflict began when the British homer Gardener made up wicca in the late forties. As much as I hate to quote from Wikipedia, which is wrong in many instances, here is what it says:

Wicca is a tradition of the Neopagan religion of Wicca. Gardnerian Wicca is named after Gerald Gardner (1884-1964), a British civil servant and scholar of magic, among other topics. He knew and worked with many famous occultists, not the least of which was Aleister Crowley (1875-1947). After his retirement Gardner moved to Christchurch near the New Forest on the south coast of England, where he says he met a group of people who had preserved certain traditional practices. As an amateur folklorist, Gardner was fascinated, and set about reconstructing what he described as an ancient, ancestral religion whose remnants he had come upon. He apparently had little ritual material to work with and had to create a good deal of it himself. Gardner seems not to have been confident writing original poetry, and instead borrowed and wove together appropriate material from other artists and occultists, most notably Crowley, Charles Godfrey Leland's Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches, the Key of Solomon as published by S.L. MacGregor Mathers, Masonic ritual, and Rudyard Kipling. One of Gardner's High Priestesses, Doreen Valiente (1922-1999) wrote much of the most well-known poetry, including the much-quoted Charge of the Goddess.
The core group grew slowly and in utter secrecy as Witchcraft was illegal in Britain at the time. When the Witchcraft Laws were replaced, in 1951, by the Fraudulent Mediums Act, Gerald Gardner went public, initially somewhat cautiously, but during the late 1950s and early 1960s (up until his death in 1964) even courting the attentions of the tabloid press, to the consternation of some of the other members of the tradition. The question of publicity and Gardner's sudden production of the Wiccan Laws in 1957 led to Doreen Valiente breaking from Gardner for a period. Nevertheless, the increased publicity seems to have allowed Gardnerian Wicca to grow much more rapidly. Certain intiates such as Alex Sanders and Raymond Buckland started off their own traditions allowing further expansion.
The oldest known Gardnerian Wiccan coven is the North London coven, which originally met in the Witch's Cottage near the Five Acres naturist club in Bricket's Wood near London; it has operated continuously for over 50 years, since shortly after the end of World War II, and has included many leading lights of Gardnerian Wicca including Gerald Gardner, Doreen Valiente, Lois Bourne, and Jack Bracelin.
The best-known covens of the original Gardnerian lineage are: New Forest, Bricket Wood, Rainbow Wood, Isle of Man, Oak Tree, Sparrow, Isis Urania and Druid Oak.
Some American neopagans regard Gardnerian Wicca as a "fundamentalist" path,[citation needed] in that, at least as often practiced in America, it demands fairly strict adherence to the procedures and principles laid down by Gardner, as well as stringent requirements for initiation. As practiced in England, on the other hand, Gardnerian Wicca is often regarded as a mainstream Wiccan tradition,[citation needed] albeit an old-school one, and as less formal than Alexandrian Wicca.[citation needed]
The form of witchcraft to which Gardner was introduced was originally referred to as "Wica", or more commonly "witchcraft" or "the Old Religion". Later publications standardised the spelling to "Wicca". "Gardnerian Wicca" was originally a pejorative coined by Gardner's contemporary Roy Bowers, a British cunning man.

Alright...

Why don't Christains like Wiccans? What did they do to mock them? Whats is "The All"?

[Pastor Al E Pistle]

Whats about the burnings at the stake in the 14-1700s?

That had nothing to do with wiccans. Wicca wasn't invented yet. That had to do with REAL witches and still goes on today when a real witch is caught.

Wiccans are self-proclaimed witches. God tells us to kill witches. What could be simpler?

[Ixi]

So Wiccans mock Christains to "get back at them"? How did God tell Christains?

Wiccans don't dare mock TRUE CHRISTIANS(TM) lest they find themselves up a tree or in a bonfire. How did GOD tell Christians.....what?

[Dr. Ernest C. Ville, D.C.S.]

Must you even ASK how GOD revealed His HOLY PLAN to the True Christians(TM)? Obviously it was one of two ways: via the BIBLE or via DIRECT REVELATION to one of God's ELECT (King George W. Bush, Fred Phelps, or any of the Landover Members (MALE, of course)). That you even have to ask is appalling. Have you looked into getting your WICCAN HUNTING PERMIT yet?

[Ixi]

Whats a Wiccan Hunting Permit? Please, my journalism advisor chose a neutral person to do this article, I know about Christainity and God but not as much as you gentlemen.

Maybe you should go and research this site before you ask all of these questions over again:

Aha, I looked everything over. So if you find a Wiccan you can kill them if you have the permit?

It's not quite that easy.....the SICKular laws in this country frown on burning tham at the stake. Instead, the LIEBERAL college professors want us to 'dialogue' with them. But what happens out on our 74,000 acres of private land stays here. The permit is just a formality. No permit, no official weigh-in and no prizes.

Oh ok, but killing people is creul! Even if God tells you to!!
