Is it because that they believe in a higher being other than the christian god, so it MUST, MUST, MOST DEFINITELY has to be Satan? But Satan isn't even apart of their religion...so how does that work?
Explain it to me.

I'm atheist. I just feel bad for how they are treated. I have a few friends who follow that faith and they are probably the most down-to-earth people I know. Their religion is very interesting and pure...and way less soiled than the other religions.
I could never believe that they worshiped something evil. But Christians do.
Is it because I believe in no god? I guess so.

It's simple. Everything that exists outside their little bubbles is evil/satanic.

Depends on the pagan. Personally, I'm Wiccan and I've always believed the gods are real, and when people turn them into symbols or archetypes they've stopped practicing religion and started practicing something else (usually a magical practice, sometimes something more akin to psychology). I do want to stress, however, that there is a very wide range of beliefs in the belief that the gods are real. I think you can certainly believe the gods are real while not believing they literally have two arms, two legs and a head, for example.

I am a wiccan/pagan myself, and I think that most people would agree with me on this, that any god besides theirs is the devil, trying to manipulate us. Who knows, could be. But i'm happier and definitely a better person after I stopped listening to christians and believing in god. And I say, bless all those who seem to turn other people into martyrs because they think they're totally right.

I had thought that Satan did not affect Pagan and Wicca faiths. As a Christian, I do not believe in Satan - or Hell.

One who denies Jesus as God incarnate is already on the devil's team whether they acknowledge it or not. And Satan is a part of the Christian religion in the sense that he is the antithesis of God. Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, so they are 2 separate and distinct entities with distinct characteristics. The Bible says that Satan goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. It says that he is a liar and the father of lies. Jesus said He came that we might have life and more abundantly.
No one can serve two masters.

Christians believe that all religions except christianity is satan/ devil worship. But they do have a special place for the jews. I like to call them suck ups.

it makes it easier for them to dismiss pagans, also to a christian youre either for them or agianst them, there is no in between, even though thier own bible mentions 1/3 of the angels were neutral niether good nor bad, funny how they overlook that passage for the more hateful ones, what i dont understand is christian pagans, zen christians, jews for jesus, and christian wiccans history shows that christians would kill a buddhist, Jew, Pagan, and wiccan yet some people choose to mix thier religion with christians.

Because it's their way or the highway. God set that rule up very plainly for them. What really astounds me is why they think we would care if we end up in their hell for accepting the Goddess and the God. Since hell is apparently the absence of God's love, how exactly will that affect us (or anyone, for that matter, since the God of the Bible isn't very loving at all)?

It's mass misinformation and ignorance, which plagues the church today. I suppose it could be traced back to where witches were thought to prostitute themselves to Satan for power, but also it has to do with the use of pentagrams, which christians consider a symbol for Satan.

Bad publicist.
We really need a new PR department. Can we do lunch and work that out? I'll have my minion call your minion.
