people need to open there eyes to the truth, God loves all of us, there is only one true God, any other so called "gods" are of the devil.

It is your mother's choice, not yours. You can't force her into doing anything you want her to do just because your beliefs are different than hers. Let her be and if she decides to do something different, she will. As long as she isn't hurting anyone, including herself, I say let her be.

You may not like your mother's new found beliefs, but as her daughter you should respect them. I'm sure she has more than a few valid reasons for no longer being a christian. And guess what?? The 'devil' has nothing to do with it. Leave her be about it. Frankly, it's none of your business. She's a grown woman who is free to lead her own life. So, grow up and realize that christianity isn't the only religion in the world and that just because you think you're right, it doesn't mean you really are.
EDIT: *YOU* are the one that needs to open your eyes to the truth.

She's not in denial, she's in another religion. Believe me when I say that she's thought harder about it than you ever can--I made that same faith journey. No devil was involved.
In your case, there's the added layer of having been taught one thing, and then your mother decided that what she'd taught you initially was wrong. That would have to be very confusing and make your whole world feel unsteady. I'm very sorry about that. It's something you need to deal with.
She's older than you, has tried it the other way for a long time, and doesn't need to hear any more. At this point, all you can do with evangelism is annoy her. She's still your mother. See that, not the "lost" Witch. Talk to her about your emotions and thisworldly concerns, not theology.
Also, doesn't one of the commandments you claim to follow ask you to honor your parents?

We are all mortals here on this side of life, and are in no place to say that anyone persons faith was inspired by the 'Devil' or any other evil force. Faith is a personal choice, and if the Christian God is truly forgiving she will be spared, but look at the flip side as well; what if she is right? I used to be Christian myself, and like your mother converted to Paganism. I do not believe in the Devil simply because to put all the bad things and choices I have made in my life off on some evil entity tempting me to do it is fundamentally wrong in my opinion, but that is my opinion. Even the Bible it speaks of those not of Christian faith entering heave because they lived a good life, and their faith (no matter what they believed) was strong. Matt. 8:5-13 is the reference I am using here, and to be honest here I am no scholar of the Bible, but I am also not the Creator so I cannot say any one is damned to Hell or where ever. Just accept her for who she is not what she beliefs. After all she is your mother, and has the right to choose what she believes and what she dose not.
I mean no offense to the ask-er or any one else, and if I have cause any one to be upset I apologize.

Have respect for your mother. She is older than you and knows more about the world. Why should she lower herself to believe in a horrible nighmarish religion of punishment and damnation when she has found joy in honoring the Earth? I tell Pagan children to follow their parents' Christian religions until they are 18. And I will tell you to honor your mother until then too, and then you can just leave if she upsets you so. Why do you want to bring pain upon the one who brought you life? It's not worth upsetting the household for. Your own Bible tells you to respect your parents. Try doing it. And be thankful Wiccan religion doesn't tell parents "Spare the rod, spoil the child."

Wow. That's a new one.
It's denial, not denail, dummy.
And if you don't agree with her, don't try to force her to be something else.
For the sake of the Gods, she's your MOTHER!!! She's RELATED TO YOU!!! Leave her alone if she's Pagan! She raised you as a Christian, or you chose it, whichever it is, I don't know.
Either way, it's her faith, not yours.
And the Devil's not involved.

Does she allow you to practice the religion of your choice? Is she physically harming you or anyone else? If not, then as Ann Landers would say, MYOB. It will get you nowhere to be intolerant and disrespectful. It makes you look like you are trying to deny your parents the right to make their own personal decisions.

I applaud your mother for seeing the light of the Old Ways. Perhaps the Devil is deceiving you.

You are the one that need to open your eyes. STOP judging a book by it cover. Sit with your mom and ask her questions about her religion. Witchcraft is NOT EVIL. You mom will probable say that to.
