I am Wiccan and I was just wanting to know what your view is on it. Let me state some facts before you go on with your whole, "Your a devil worshipper" thing.

1.) Wicca is a nature-based religion.

2.) We believe in a three-fold law. Which means that anything we do comes back to us three-fold good or bad, depending.

3.) Our Wiccan rede states, An it harm none, do what ye will. Meaning- Do whatever you wish, as long as you do not harm anyone or thing in the process.

4.) We love and respect everything. Animals, People, Nature.

5.) We are tolerant of other religions, even though they are not tolerant to us.

6.) We do not believe in the 'devil' figure. We believe in Karma instead. We believe in a Fertility Goddess and Hunter God.

7.) Our rituals are how we pray.

Please no abuse, this is just a simple question.

I just want to know what you know about paganism and wicca, and how you have came to believe this.

fornication(sex before marriage),homosexuality, and loose conduct. These are some of the things that so many so called christians take lightly. the bible says in 1CORINTHIANS 6:9,10 "What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom." WANT TO LEARN MORE....OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS....EMAIL ME

True christians do not celebrate christmas or easter or any other pegan holliday. Those are pegan traditions not christian. Also true christians do not drink and do drugs and have promiscuous sex including sodomy. So why do these people call themselves christians?

I asked if it was proven he existed would it remove the need to have faith that he did, because you wouldnt need faith in something proven. I got a load of abuse from some christians and they did not actually answer the question. Why did they not just say that they thought my question was rubbish rather than try to make out I was stupid. This is the thing that makes people dislike beleivers. Does blind faith make you blind to everything? Why are some christians so intolerant? Why cant they answer a straight question? They seem like politicians, they just got a pre planned speech and they cant seem to think for themselves. Have they been brainwashed? Please feel free to abuse and belittle me.......

I want you to think of several things, the majority of Americans think they are saved. Now after saying that, JESUS said that "those who love me keep my commandments". I ask you this also, the Bible says that many will be hearers of the Word and not doers of the Word, deceiving themselves. Are you a doer, or a hearer. One last thing, JESUS says that the road to HELL is wide and many will take it, and the road to HEAVEN is narrow and few will find everlasting life, are you sure you are one of the few. Are you sure that you are born again and have the evidence of the HOLY SPIRIT working in your life, YOU be the Judge. But there is good news even if you find that you have been deceived all this time, all you have to do is repent to GOD and truly give your heart over to JESUS CHRIST. JESUS did die for our sins and rise again on the third day as all the scriptures testify. Please come to CHRIST and leave your old life behind you. GOD BLESS YOU.

Florida looks like the head of a snake (with lake Okeechobee as the eye, and Florida Keys as the tongue). It also looks like a gun.

There is an island called La Palma in the Atlantic ocean. Part of it could fall into the sea and cause a Tsunami which would wipe out Florida.Florida is one of the wealthiest places in the world. It is therefore not going to be in favor with God since 2.5 billion people live on less than $2 a day. La Palma contains the word Palm (as in Palm Sunday - the return of Jesus to Jerusalem; or in modern terms the second coming of Jesus).

The book of Revelation talks about a large mountain being thrown into the sea at the end of time. People in the area need to repent/leave the area.

Only atheists please...My cousin has fiercely fallen into Christianity in the last six months, and I am afraid for him. I am afraid he will be ignorant, intolerant, and delusional like the rest of them. I tried to give logical arguments for the absence of god, but he shot back all sorts of stuff, sometimes having nothing to do with what I said. For example, I asked if native Americans went to hell since they didn't know about Jesus before we came. He first said maybe they did. Later he said they know the presence of god even if they don't know Jesus. I then said "but god is a jealous god which means they were worshiping the wrong god(s)" and he somehow sideswiped that. How? Why? I feel defeated even though I know he didn't really answer my questions. I am worried about him. How do I convince him?

I am saved by the Grace of God Almighty and The Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. My question is this: How can I become a stronger Christian? I have just become a member of my church and seek to put my hands to the plow for God. What should I be studying and doing that will keep me on the path to Righteousness? Please advise. God Bless You.

I often hear Christians mention (when in discussion about the validity of other gods) that Jesus was the only one who sacrificed himself for our sins and that this sets Him apart (from other gods).

Now, I am pretty sure that there are other myths with the same theme, and I even had a nice list I was going to check out, but that got canned when my previous account was nixed.

Anyone?

That is, if Jesus did not rise from the dead (and if it could be proven that he did not), would that mean the end of Christianity, since the entire religion depends on it?

And also, when God DOES intervene, what do you suppose the qualifying criteria is that must be met in order to warrant divine intervention?

Or... does God never desire to intervene, which would therefore indicate that everything that has ever happened and will happen is approved by God?

Or... does God not care, and whatever happens happens?

And no, for the record, I'm NOT talking about one human being terrible to another human or to humanity in general since, apparently, we already know that God doesn't think it's justified to nip at our free will once in a while in order to prevent tremendous human-caused atrocities. I'm talking about things happening that aren't caused by direct human action.

I guess what I'm asking is...... well...... what I've asked. So answer, please.

And no, "God's motives are a mystery" is not an acceptable answer. If you're not willing to actually answer the question without defaulting to "mystery" then DON'T BOTHER ANSWERING.

PLEASE DO NOT BE RUDE!!

I'm serious! Don't try to tell me I'm stupid for believing in God or "God isn't real" or try to convince of a particular religion. Just tell me how you would explain the world's existence since according to you there is no God. NO ONE can use the big bang theory, because as a personal scientist who is updated constantly on all current physics and cosmology facts and events, I can tell you that it is JUST a theory and actually contradicts itself and the laws of quantum mechanics/Einstein's general theory of relativity(once again, a theory).
