They become "christians" so they don't have to listen to common sense, they just report it and it's gone. Watch how quick this is reported and taken off the site. I've been blatantly insulted by the so called "christians" but I don't report them. I listen to thier stupid, offensive opinions all the time and don't report them, they are easily offended, they must be insecure with something, hmmmm...could it be thier faith or lack of?

This could seem a little harsh, and I'm extremely sorry for that, but please bear with me, and don't stop reading. It would seem as if you were criticizing Christians for what you yourself believe. And what all other religions also believe--that anyone not your religion is going to hell. I really cannot blame you for believing that (I'm sorry to say) in your ignorance. But if all religions believe that, what makes one any different from the other? I'll tell you. It's that Christianity is the only one where the head figure (in this case, Jesus Christ) actually claimed to be the God. That's not something that can just be dismissed, because if you look at everything He said in His teachings, He most definitely not (1)a lunatic, because he was, definitely and undeniably, a great moral teacher. You cannot be such a great moral teacher and have people have valued your teachings and opinions so much and if you are merely out of your mind. Yet thousands came to listen to Him. And you cannot deny that, and say, "oh that's just what the Bible says", because the Bible has been more SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN has accurate than ANY OTHER BOOK EVER PUBLISHED. (2)He was not a liar. He wouldn't have lied about being the Son of God, because it couldn't have mattered to Him that much that He would die for saying something like that if He wasn't out of His mind, which we've already concluded that he wasn't. (3)Which leave only one option. He is Lord. He is the Only Way to Heaven. And I'm sorry if that seems offensive to you, but it's just one of those things. Life is hard, so why would you expect death to be easy?

Your question started out nicely. However, I was turned away the more I read. If you want real answers, you have to know your audience. You have to know how to ask . . . respectfully.
I am an Agnostic and lean a little on the Atheism side. So, I appreciate the fact that your religion accepts different theories and beliefs. However, EVERYONE is a little frightened at time when it comes to something vastly different than what they know. Religion is an example of that . . . that's all. Every religion thinks they are right. You think you're right, Christians think they are right, and Atheists think they are right. That's the beauty of individual thought. It's something to be admired, I think. I find it quite interesting to speak with someone of a different religion and learn their beliefs and why they believe them. I don't see it as a threat.

I think that my religion is the "right" one,but I respect everyone else's right to believe in what ever they feel the need to believe in,because I want those people to return the favor.Besides,jumping up and yelling "guess what?Your lifestyle and beliefs are wrong!You are going straight to hell and I am not!Ha!" is NEVER a good way of making friends and coming to understand what and why other people believe what they do.
edit-can you IM or email me?I have never really heard of "dark paganism" before.Can you tell be alittle bit about it?Its sound interesting.
aw,t a m i l,that was so sweet!

well, i think that goes for all religions. Every religion has people who think only they are right and everyone else is wrong, every religion has people who think they're right and don't really care about other people, and every religion has people who don't even know anything about their religion. putting a label on christians really doesn't make sense. As far as christianity itself goes, i would like to believe its the truth, but if u read the bible it is full of contradictions. it really doesn't make sense. and sometimes i look to other religions to see what really makes sense. i think everyone should keep an open mind and read and study other religions and make an opinion that way instead of just putting a label on it. u won't lose out on anything. either u'll find a better religion or realize that ur religion is the right religion and it will help bring more faith in ur life. oh well, i hope God guides you on the right path.

I am Wiccan and I believe all religious paths lead to Deity. I live by the law of three and Harm none.
I was a Christian though and a preacher for many years, so I do understand why they believe there is only one God and one true religion. I no longer believe that way obviously.

In free countries like the USA, you are free to believe anything you desire. Christianity will not attempt to tell you can not. Christianity will try to tell you that your belief is wrong, because they are commanded to by Jesus in the great commission. Christians are also supposed to leave you alone if you don't want to hear about Christianity. Unfortunately some seem not to be aware of this. Jesus did teach that we are supposed to leave the person if they refuse to listen.

I'm sorry you feel that way about Christians. I am a Christian, but I do not go aroung bragging that my faith is the best. It is the "real religion." If that's what you want to call it. Ask anybody who has been saved! Just because someone has chosen to accept and follow Christ does not mean they-or their life will be 100% perfect. We live in a fallen world, full of sin. And we are still human. So of course, we will make mistakes, I have made mistakes. If you accept Christ into your heart and believe in Him and that He is the One True God then you are saved.
I'll pray for you.

Just to clarify, magick is not black or white. It is a tool, nothing more. Just like a hammer, a gun, or fire, magick has no inherent leanings towards good or evil, though it may be used with good or evil intent.
If I light a fire to warm a man who is freezing to death, does that make the fire "good?" Likewise, if I light a fire to burn down someone's house, does that make the fire "evil?" of course not, and magick is the same way.

You can believe what you wish. Just don't blame God that you are the one that don't believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for your sins. He made away for your sins to be forgiven. You have made your choice. If you don't like Christianity that ok but you are the one that don't believe. John 3: 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
