Would it be so hard for [most] Christians to stop calling Pagans, Satanist?

Question

I truly dislike being told what I believe in.

I dislike moreso being told I believe in something I don't believe exists.

What I dislike even more is being told that I believe in something I don't believe exists, and since I do, I'm going to go to a place I don't believe exists.

What I dislike the MOST is being told that I believe in something I don't believe exists, and since I do, I'm going to go to a place I don't believe exists, but if I decide to believe in something ELSE that I don't believe exists, I'll go to a different place I don't believe exists.

It'd be like someone saying to a Christian, "You believe in an incestual light elf with suicidal tendencies, and because you do, you're going to be reborn as a bug and die one thousand fly deaths! But, if you follow the dark elves of olde age, you'll be able to move on to Valhalla!" (This would never happen)

Not only does it lack sense... it's... STUPID. And, sure, hearing it once would make you just be like, "What? O-

-kay, go have a nice day, psycho." But after hearing it over and over... it's ENRAGING and ANNOYING!

So, would it really be so hard for Christians to cut it out, or do they think they're exempt from feeling sympathetic and/or empathetic towards others?

Answer 1

they would rather judge something or someone that they don't want to take the time to understand and if a christian wants to act that way then so be it,,,,,,,,because if to be a Christian person means to be judging ... them i sure as in hell glad im not one of them

Answer 2

just because you don't believe the existence of something does not mean that it does not...I don't believe that there is a war but clearly I would be foolish not to believe what countless of people have testified to. Clearly you have stopped listening to the part of you that believes in eternity because God has placed eternity in the hearts of man..that is maybe why you will hear little kids (who have not been polluted by this world) say "when I come back I want to be _______" If you go way back into your childhood you may even see a time when you did believe. It is because kids are sensitive to the spirit world until some well meaning adult tells them "there is no such thing". (Not telling you what you should or do believe just suggesting you do a little soul searching!)

Answer 3

You are not a satanist by your definition, but you are a satanist by the bible's definition which is why Christians refer to you that way.
Jesus put people in two categories...those who are with Him and those who are against Him. You can't be in the middle according to Him.

So, if you're not a Christian, you are following satan which is the other side. Even someone who doesn't claim any religion is a satanist according to Jesus. Don't confuse satanism with worshipping the devil. It's much simpler than that. Being a satinist is simply not following Jesus.

I am told by athiests what I believe in all the time (God is a myth and I follow a fable).
So, we are not exempt from what you are experiencing.

You might not believe in God, Satan, etc, but that doesn't make the spiritual realm any less real because you and your kind don't believe in it.

You might not believe in heaven or hell either, but that doesn't mean you won't end up in one of those places. God's not going to exempt people with the "I didn't believe" excuse. You are digging your own spiritual grave with your words of disbelief and rebellion.

So, you have a chance to serve the One True God Almighty while you're here on this earth. Don't pass up on the opportunity of everlasting peace because you're too proud to see the obvious.

Answer 4

I'm afraid there will always be some of that. You see the same from the same people, whom you know have been told a myriad of times that Pagans are not Satanists, still saying we are of Satan. It is just in their makeup and they are not going to change.

Sadly you just have to develop a thick skin.

Oh, and Satanists aren't necessarily bad people either, so really it isn't an insult. but there is a difference.

Answer 5

Lol. I find asking the person the question "Are you aware that you are displaying an incalculable amount of your ignorance by conveying that statement?" to be quite effective.Seriously, if one is going to use the term Satanist to describe a Pagan, you'd think they'd at the very least know WHAT Satanism really is.Satanism is a philosophy, not a religion.I hate it when people use words they don't have the proper definition for .

Answer 6

Wow! Try saying that three times fast!!!

I do know what you mean though, but it is better to be diplomatic about it and rise above it. These people preaching to us will not make it any more real or true to us, and if you are true to your path, I wouldn't worry about it. Deep inside it bugs me, but to give them a reaction, is to do exactly what they want. whether we bow down and say - 'Yes!! Save me! I have been sooo wrong!' or - 'Go away, and tel it to someone who cares!'

Don't give them the satisfaction of a reaction, because to them, it means they have had some sort of an affect on you, and it rids them of some 'spiritual guilt' as one Christian said to me once. He told me that they have to spread the word of God, so that when they were judged, they were not guilty of not doing what he instructed.

Anyway...

Answer 7

First, you need to ask yourself if you believe that anything at all exist, and if your answer is yes after all that crap you wrote, your problems are bigger than first believed. What issues you have. If you don't believe in something, you'll believe in nothing at all...It's much easier to believe than to wrestle with unbelief with so much evidence and so many people around you do believe, and after all ...surely not so many people could possibly know and agree on something and be wrong and you and your disbelief is the only one in this whole world that is right? I advise you to wake up and go read your Bible and ask God to help you to believe and He will start to open up the scriptures to you IF YOUR SINCERE FROM YOUR HEART! PEACE!!!

Answer 8

Does "Halloween" offend Pagans and Wiccans? That's what the school board said. And that's why we can't say Happy Halloween or puts up signs. Crazy, eh?

Answer 9

lol, in the old testament of the bible it is written that Pagan worship God in more truth than the Chosen people did. Therefore God rejected them. the same principle can be applied today to christianity because most christian religions dont know what it means to have the truth or even "know" God.
however, being a pagan is satanic! in the sense of the word that true worship is non existent. because true Theology is likewise Unknown.

Answer 10

I know what yu mean... I don't believe in peanut butter, I only believe in jam. My mom keeps making me sandwiches for lunch and she calls them.... get this... PEANUT BUTTER and Jam!! It drives me wacko- MOM, I say, I don't believe in peanut butter- therefore it doesn't exist for me! Call it salmon, Call it brown jam, call it dog fur- I DON'T CARE!!!

I've stopped drinking EVERYTHING! My mom gets on my case, so does my Dad and my friends- THEY MUST HATE ME to tell me this nonsense! they KEEP saying to me "YER GONNA DIE!!!"
