I was raised in the Baptist religion, and my mother is a very devout christian, and so are my grandparents, but ever since I was a teenager and found out what Wicca is, I realized that I have quite a few beliefs that stem from this religion also. I strongly believe in the Threefold Law, and the idea of "And Harm It None Do What Ye Will", and the idea of importannce of nature/animals in Wicca, and how each color corresponds to a different God/Goddess, or idea, such as "purity", etc...I've read different versions of the Wiccan Rede, but can't really understand it, and years ago I bought a book by Silver Ravenwolf called "Teen Witch: Wicca for a New Generation", and to this day almost keep iy by my side, just like I do my Bible (New World Translation or New International Version, just because they're easier to read/understand), and I even have a small yellow book (not a bible) that I got from a friend who is a devouit Jehovah's Witness (though I am not, and disagree with a LOT of their beliefs) called "What Does The Bible Really Teach" that I really like....
But i'm in conflict. I believe in ideas in Christianity also, such as the Ten Commandments, stories from the bible i've been brought up to know, etc...but I also believe a lot in Wicca.
After living with this conflict for years, i've come to know/call myself a "Christian Wiccan"...I know they contradict themselves, but it's the only thing that makes sense to me. I've even found this site: Wicca: For the Rest of Us - Christian Wicca
So what do you guys think??

So this is my first time posting here. I've lurked for a bit, and now I have a rather controversial question.
( Cut for length and controversey )
So my question for everyone would be, is Wicca falsifiable? If so, how? If not, does that make our faith any less legitimate?
This is not in any way meant to put Wicca down. I've been Wiccan for two years, but I couldn't really come up with an answer, and I hoped someone with more experience could.
