Why is it that everthing that is a little different than what Christianity says, Christians insist is Satan or demons? They say my deity is Satan in disguize, and the fragments of my past life were fed to be by demons, and Witchcraft is Satanism in disguize.
I'm not going to understand how the God and Goddess I worship, who have told me to cast as much love and peace unto this world as possible, to be a good person, and to always AVOID harming others is supposedly Satan in disguize.

It justifies their hate and intolerance. The contrast also shows how their religion is the "correct" path. (At first, the Jews had to be distinct by separating themselves from their Pagan neighbors. Then, when Christianity came about, they had to separate themselves from the Jews and the Roman Pagans.)

If you have some free time, check out the Witch Hunts articles by Kerr Cuhulian here: http://www.witchvox.com/_x.html?c=whs He finds ways that people have demonized Paganism and corrects the errors with facts.

I have faced this same thing, im an Asatru (norse revival religion) and have had people saying that I worship the devil and that my gods wernt real. Im tired that Christians make it seem like they should be the only religion when our pagen religions were around way before Christianity and if you compare the religions, they are very closely linked together. I understand the Christians who think they are trying to save our souls but I wish they would just shut their mouths. People interpret the bible in so many ways that its hard to tell if they are even still following Christianity or just useing it in a way that suites them. Anti abortianitst claim that abortions kill liveing things yet the bible states somewhere that a baby isnt alive untill it is born, dont ask me where, a friend did a report on how people interprt the bible change it and told me that part. How I see it, they woreship Satan in a way by accepting that he is real. They just say that our gods are Satan in disquise because that damn comandment, no other gods before me. I agree with you, if it was Satan in disguise, then wouldnt we be out wreking havoc everywhere?

Yo are right about free will......... Php 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both "to will and to do" of his good pleasure. But you are wrong to say that evil will exist for eternity. Evil will exist forever.........Forever during this earth age. But ages have an ending. And so does evil. There are 7 ages before eternity, the last being the the Great White throne Judgment. And then eternity will begin after this. G165 αἰών aiōn ahee-ohn' From the same as G104; (properly an age;) by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically (Jewish) (a Messianic period) (present or future): - (age,) course, eternal, (for) ever (-more), [n-]ever, (beginning of the, while the) world (began, without end). Compare G5550. There have been some added meanings to this dictionary by the heavy hand of revised editions to suit man and what he believes. Eternal can in no way be part of an age.

Everything that is contrare to the Lord God like other gods, superpowers, etc is of satan or demonic spirit. It writes so in the bible. Satan will also appear like an angel of light to deceive.

The most important comandment is to Love God with all our being. People go to other spiritual sources than God when they reject / rebel against the LORD God.

Because to christians, if it isn't of "their" god, then it must be of satan. I had a guy tell me online, that because I am an atheist, then I worship satan! Since I don't believe in god or satan, that would be hard to do. ;)

Also different flavors of christians sometimes say that other flavors of christians are wrong, therefore THEY are of satan. Very confusing.

Those are of coarse good virtues. But there is a false philosophy floating around that these inherantly save you when it is only by grace through faith in Jesus Christ that saves us. Such false teachings ARE from Satan even though they have the appearance of goodness.

Because there was originally one religion from the beginning.

Satan who wanted to be worshipped created confusion and brought about too many religions in different names all directed to his purpose....keep people away from the real one. Which are the false ones?

Satan and his demons do not want you to serve God. They want to turn everyone away from God if they can. How do they try to do this? One way is through false religion. (2 Corinthians 11:13-15) A religion is false if it does not teach the truth from the Bible. False religion is like false money—it may look like the real thing, but it is worthless. It can cause you much trouble.

Religious falsehood can never please the God of truth. When Jesus was on earth, there was a religious group who wanted to kill him. They thought that their way of worship was the right way. They said: “We have one Father, God.” Did Jesus agree? No! He said to them: “You are from your father the Devil.” (John 8:41, 44) Today many people think that they are worshiping God, but they are really serving Satan and his demons!—1 Corinthians 10:20.

Just as a rotten tree produces bad fruit, false religion produces people who do bad things. The world is full of trouble because of the bad things people do. There is immorality, fighting, stealing, oppression, murder, and rape. Many who do these bad things have a religion, but their religion does not move them to practice what is good. They cannot be God’s friends unless they stop doing bad things.—Matthew 7:17, 18.

False religion teaches people to pray to idols. God says not to pray to idols. This is reasonable. Would you like it if someone never talked to you but only talked to your picture? Could that person be your true friend? No, he could not. Jehovah wants people to talk to him, not to a statue or a picture, which has no life.—Exodus 20:4, 5.

False religion teaches that it is all right to kill others in time of war. Jesus said that God’s friends would have love among themselves. We do not kill people we love. (John 13:35) It is even wrong for us to kill bad people. When the enemies of Jesus came to arrest him, he did not let his disciples fight to protect him.—Matthew 26:51, 52.

False religion teaches that the wicked will suffer in hellfire. Yet, the Bible teaches that sin leads to death. (Romans 6:23) Jehovah is a God of love. Would a loving God torment people forever? Of course not!

It is their way of making their converts afraid of listening to those talking about things that contradict their belief.
