Why is it so wrong in peoples eyes. To practise something a little different?

Question

Why is it so wrong? if you can practise your religion why cant satanist and those involved in Witchcraft practise theirs without people complaining

For the person who said about mutilating animals didnt christians mutilate lambs for christ, they called it sacrifice. Lets get one thing straight I dont kill babys nor would I hurt any animals I am a vegan

Answer 1

I know that satanists and wiccans dont sacrifice babies but the truth about christianity is they used to sacrifice lambs, as in sheep, and then they used a human sacrifice named Jesus and made up things like he saved them from thier sins, to take away the guilt.

christianity is the real evil, ive researched it hardcore and most christians love to demonize, if they want a real demon they should look in the mirror because thats what a true christian is, a demon.

one last thing: i dont think it wise to be a christo pagan or a mix of wiccan and christian because christians burned witches at the stake and they still would.

Answer 2

I was wiccan, I am a practicing witch, I also practice Vodou. I have never once drank blood and killed babies. That is just sick. Animals are sacfriced but they are also cooked and eaten by the community afterwards. Instead of a frozen chicken we have a fresh one.

I think everyone needs to be informed about other religions. They dont have to practice it just know what it is about and then make comments on what they know. Many chritians remain ingnorant because to have the knowledge would mean thay would have nothing to rant and rave about. They would not be able to claim the religion is evil. Without the evil there can be no good!! Excuse me it should say everyone not just christians.

Ignorance is bliss!!

Answer 3

It is wrong to Christians because it goes against their teachings to accept it. I am a Christian and while it is not a lifestyle I would choose, you must follow the path your heart leads you to. I would speak to anyone of any religion to tell about what I believe and to hear about what they believe as well. I am a little more tolerant than some. I think when you say witchcraft you are probably discussing wiccans? If so, it is not much different to the religion my Native American ancestor's followed. All things are living and have spirits and we are to take care of mother earth and do not take more than you need and things of that nature. That harms no one. Satanism, in reality is not devil worship per se, I am told that there are no baby sacrifices and most do not drink blood. What it has been described to me as is mostly just hedonistic, pleasure oriented beliefs. Do what you want that makes you feel good. Excess in physical pleasure, etc. In reality that only harms the person practicing it. Again, I would like for them to convert to Christianity but I respect that some people just have to take a different walk.

Answer 4

Well, the only real problem is with satanism. Reason - it's not a religion, it's simply a reaction to the xtian church. ie. satan is gods adversary in the xtian faith., although god created him in the first place. Remember also that religions worship a god and satan is not (cannot be) a god, merely a fallen angel).
all the other "occult" religions are really paganism and worship other gods entirely so they're perfectly valid.
As many here have said, "you want to be different, get ready for the flak". It's the usual case of "I'm right therefore you must be wrong!"

Answer 5

People are frightened/nervous of things they don't understand. A lot of people are either too busy, too selfish or too prejudiced to take the time to learn about other's beliefs.

People should always have the option to disagree, agree or be indifferent, it's how this is communicated between 2 parties/groups that I believe causes the tension.

Humankind needs to listen a lot more than we do currently - who knows what we can learn from each other.

Answer 6

Basically most "standard" religions are very similar but they all take a different spin on the same basic moral make up. The thing that is worshipped changes but the basic teachings and beliefs are the same, and most see witchcraft and those type of darker beliefs to be bad.

Therefore you are fighting a loosing battle trying to get them accepted.

The other reason is because of the people who follow these "other" religions, they either tend to be very private and hidden away in secret locations or the complete opposite, they are up front and in your face!

If you look at a someone who is Jewish or Christian or one of the more "main stream" religions they all look basically the same. There are differences due to historical backgrounds but they are similar, people who follow these alternative religions seem to go out of there way to be different

Answer 7

Religion is fundamentally associated with charity, faith, and love - the worship of Satan is not concerned with these things, but with acheiving ones goals/dreams through selling ones soul, it is frowned upon because it is not within the conventional religious spirit, and can have a negative effect on others. The very nature of devil worship negates the need for approval.
Witchcraft is not a religion, although some religions, in fact most, practice many forms of spell casting, prayer and the like, white witches are the 'good' ones, I doubt anyone has a problem with them.

Answer 8

in the United States Christianity is the normal way to Worship THE DEITY. When people Worship or perform Rituals and Ceremonies not accepted by Culture and Society they are considered deviant by
mainstream Culture and Society members. in the United States these deviants have the freedom to practice their ways without prosecution because of the laws rules and mores of Culture and Society.

Answer 9

AA Azfar, Please understand that Abu Bakr gave dawah before he had any deep recognize-how of Islam. because of him, a number of the whole human beings grew to develop into muslim. Now he did not spread undesirable recognize-how, yet he did spread what he knew, in spite of the actual undeniable reality that it develop into so little. fairly, what Abu Bakr did fell lower than this hadith decrease than, that could want to be latest in Sahih Bukhari Vol. 4, e book fifty six, # 667 (Narrated by employing Abdullah bin Amr), the position the Prophet pbuh stated, "placed across (my teachings) to the human beings regardless of if it were a unmarried sentence, and tell others the thoughts of Bani Israel (that were taught to you), for it isn't sinful to finish that. And whoever tells a lie on me deliberately, will easily take his position contained in the (Hell) fireplace."

Answer 10

Actually it was the Jews who sacrificed lambs, and that was because God told them to. There's nothing 'wrong' with believing what you do, but it's just as well to explore the possibility that your beliefs are in error. I looked at lots of different faiths after God called me to christianity but none of them make sense. Hope you find peace whatever.
