Savvy S asked "Why Don't The Ignorant Heathens Accept Jesus (Praise His Name) As Their Personal Lord And Savior?? You Heathens Are Going To Spend Eternity In Hell When You Die. Accept Jesus As Your Personal Lord And Savior Now Before It's Too Late."
So I guess I need to post my question then. Why can't people just be happy and let those who choose to not follow Christianity do as they wish? What's with all the personal attacks on non-Christian faiths? All it does is upset people. Unfortunately, Christianity is not the only religion in the world, it never had been. Accept and Respect people for what they believe in, you'll make friends faster. I'm a Druid, proud to be one, and won't ever change. Why can't people like Savvy S here just accept that and move on with their life? Are they so unhappy with their own religion, so they feel they must take it out on others? Or are they simply victims of religious close-mindedness?

I know not all Christians are like this, and I thank those that are able to be open-minded and respect the beliefs of all. This world needs more people who can simply respect people for their faith, instead of judging them for it.

Although Savvy S was being sarcastic,I agree with you.People need to choose their own path in life,and it is not my place to choose it for them.If it makes YOU happy,and it is not physically harming me,then you should go for it.I am a Christian,and I think if someone wants to learn more about my religion,they should come to me,not the other way around.

As long as Christianity, as well as several of the other "ultimate truths", have as their end and gleefully sought after goal, the END OF THE WORLD, and as long as they believe that their rights are being violated if they are denied the opportunity to use the coercive power of the state to shove their god down every ones throat, you will have to put up with us being in your face. Why should we abandon a forum where we can let you know that you will not be allowed to carry out the silly "End Times" rubbish that you seem to forget would include the rest of us.

I knew if I sat here long enough, somebody would talk some sense. I must admit, I didn't think it would be some old hippy in a nightie though.
Good luck to you.
PS
As it's nearly Christmas, you haven't got a bit of spare mistletoe hanging around have you? Cheers.

they can't let us do what we want. they need some one to be fighting against. and their for everyone other then them is wrong. they r never going to let us worship as we want in peace so . let them go on with their jibber jabber and we can ignore them when we want or fight them if we want. i am Wiccan and proud and will tell that to any one who asks me. i refuse to change and i refuse to try and change everyone else.

I think that sort of Christian does a disservice to the rest.
I'm glad I'm not one.
