Why do some people believe that when your Pagan or believe in a Pagan Path it is worshiping the devil? have you ever walked into a bookstore and picked up a book on Paganism and SEEN the word devil used at all??

*dances* I agree...I hate hearing how I'm a devil worshiper and I'm going to hell. I really want to put a page in the Christian bible that says when you tell someone you are going to hell, you get a go to hell ticket. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

I evaluate the more advantageous major question to be: Does God have a plan for me and, if so, does it contain a chicken sandwich? reason I form of pick a chicken sandwich at present. If God exists and if God created each and every thing then God must have created the entity who eventually grew to develop into the devil. If God is omniscient and created an entity who might want to develop into the devil then God created the devil because, being all understanding, he made a unsleeping determination to convey into being an entity that could eventually develop into the mythological devil. yet evaluate this: Spiders are gazing you. Spiders aren't any further the devil, yet, given adequate of them, they could eventually recode the total jw website purely through hopping up and down on the manager internet admin's keyboard even as protecting her/him constrained in a superb wrought cocoon of spidery silk. Did God create spiders? i imagine so. which skill God meant spiders to recode jw. because bifurcations aren't any further genuine issues. I realized this from jw. also, is that guy on the right meant to be god or the devil? If he's god why has he were given a gray beard and unhappy eye glare lines? I recommend, if he's all understanding actual he might want to have designed a universe which gave him smile lines instead. Santa can make a fashion more advantageous effective God image. i will tell the spiders that and they are going to see to it, of their spidery knowledge.

You are not "knowingly" worshiping the devil, nor are you saying "Hey - I worship the devil so let me do the devil dorky dance so I can sacrifice Christian babies to da devil". At least I hope not.
The "pagan path" as you call it was instituted by Satan and his fellow fallen angels. Since their fall.., they set themselves up as various dieties (gods, sub-gods and other institutions and even in the guise of female goddesses and even animals). Angels can shape shift apparently and decieve many.
I mean, why not? They have nothing to lose since they have been completely made aware of the price of their rebellion against God and what better way to get back at him than by manipulating God's own creation.
I wont get into a lengthy discussion here and odds are you wont accept my word for it anyway. But you asked, and I am answering. Suffice it to say these hordes of Satan work under the authority of Satan and thus in effect you are indeed worshiping Satan, aware of it or not.
You are not worshiping nature or gods as such, but wanna be gods who are using you at YOUR expense, so Satan and crew are having some laughs for everyone he can confuse.
The more people who don't believe in him the better. It "almost" insures they wont discover God. For those who follow pagan religions that follow the paths taught men from fallen angels - whys should the seek THE God? They are duped into believing theirs is the only way and as bad, every way is the right way.
If there is one universe - there is one God and one truth - HIS truth.

You are going to need more than a statement to convince christians of that fact. Maybe a hammer. They will never believe us so why even try? As long as christians believe they are the greatest thing since bubblegum, they will always think we worship "satan". Blessed be

While it is, of course, incorrect, most Christians, and perhaps Muslims as well, believe that our Gods are Satan in disguise and that worshipping anything that isn't their God is worshipping Satan.
The cure for ethnocentrism is cultural relativity. Put yourself in their shoes, and you'll understand. It doesn't make it better, of course, just understandable.

Maybe because Paganism is a form of satanism. When you worship outside of Christ you are indeed worshipping the devil irregardless of what you call it.

It doesn't matter if you use the word satan or devil. Their are only two gods, one is God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), and the other is the god of this world satan. He can appear in many forms and even as an angel of light. So you only have two choices, the real one or any fake one ends up with the same guy satan, and he has many names.

Because they are ignorant.
BUT - I have good news for you. Here is a good comeback for the Bible quoters.
Tell them that you are one of the 'other people'
Remember in the bible when one of the first sons took off for awhile and came back with a wife???
um... hello? WHERE did this wife come from??
I am not good at remembering scriptures' locations, but any bible reading devout will know what you are talking about.
This is one of my favorites.

According to the Christian faith, if you do not worship the creator God of the Bible you are serving Satan. Period. Although you may not realize it, it's true. I understand it's hard to hear that, but at least they're telling you the truth in love (hopefully!) and not trying to kill you for not believing like they do as the Q'uran teaches.

It equal idolatry. The dieties of this world did not perform the miracles and wonders that Yhwh did to deliver His people and protect His people from their surrounding communities.
He is to be praised, and His name is to be exalted. In Yashua's name, Amen.
