Answer 2

Midge sweetie you're placing your self up right here with those questions you be responsive to the type your self Christians are informed to unfold the word and that i completely comprehend which you're feeling the could desire to in compliance with your faith yet people have heard it in the previous , and that they could bypass to church in the event that they prefer to pay attention it back they dont desire a sermon right here and the reason atheists dont rant and rave approximately Satanists and Pagans has already been reported by skill of others Satanists and Pagans dont pontificate , they answer questions if asked approximately their faith and that they dont condemn and that they dont have a catalogue of persons that are " sinners " the comparable as you will locate they dont rant and rave approximately Buddhists and Hindus and a great sort of alternative tolerant religions and it doesnt recommend they agree or settle for the assumption of the different religions greater desirable than Christianity ... they dont have self assurance in God , your God or the different God so perhaps a sparkling sign is whats mandatory in that outdoor Midge " pay attention of poodle it could lick you "

Answer 3

Well, it's mostly Christians that post all the questions that are 'ranted and raved' at. There are less Satanists and Pagans posting questions to try to convert people and saying 'Why do Atheists worship satan, eat babies, and burn bibles?', stuff like that.

Answer 4

Because satanists don't do stuff like this \/ \/

I just want people to be free to live their life, for scientists to search for and identify the truth. A lot of organised religions get in the way of that, but Satanism isn't one of them (if you look at the wikipedia article on Satanism and going from my own personal experience). I really think that you should be free to live your life in whatever way you choose, and believe whatever you want to believe (mainly because THERE IS NO PROOF THERE ISN'T A GOD).

I'm against the oppression, restriction of personal freedom and persecution that exists today. Not because of an afterlife tomorrow, not because the man says so, because it's right. I don't want the human race to die out because we couldn't open our minds in time. I genuinely am so sorry if that conflicts with some (it doesn't have to be all!!!) of your beliefs.

The Bible is FULL of some amazing ideas and concepts so unique and revolutionary and generous and selfless, it's also full of some black, dark and cruel ideas >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_consistency_and_the_Bible#General_disparity_of_content

Answer 5

If Satanists and Pagans take to knocking on my front door to try and convert me, I shall certainly rail against them, too! The one "uniting" feature of the 1500 or so different flavors of Christianity in the US today is that they all seem to think their God wants them to come and save me by trying to sell me a book, a CD or a course of "Bible history" lessons. Having apparently read more of their Bible than most of them have, I have come away with the impression that Jesus would be happier with them if they did something useful and charitable instead of bothering me! (I certainly exclude those I consider genuinely Christian from this, you can easily tell these 'real' Christians by the way they hang out at soup kitchens and hospitals instead of churches and revival meetings.)

Answer 6

I've never been bothered by a Satanist or a Pagan. No Pagans have ever threatened me with eternity in hell because I dont agree with them.

Christians are the only ones I've ever had to deal with coming to my door or harassing me because I dont believe the same thing as them or trying to convert me to their way of thinking.

Not that all Christians are like that, dont get me wrong. I know the majority of Christians are moderates who mind their own business. I have Christian friends who respect me and I respect them.

But when you let people like Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell become the unofficial spokespeople for your religion, expect some people to get pissed off.

I've never understood why more moderate christians dont stand up and separate themselves from those loonies.

Answer 7

Because Satanists, for the most part, are Atheists. It's rare to find a Theistic Satanist these days. LaVeyan Satanists are ALL staunch Atheists.

Answer 8

Yes, you're right.

The difference is that the number of pagans and satanists is really small, and thus you don't see any politicians using them in their favour.

Answer 9

Satanists (both the LeVayan and the demonic) and Pagans do not tell me that I will burn in hell for not believing in their beliefs. Only christians and now muslims do that.

If people tolerate my atheism, I tolerate their beliefs. If people preach at me, I will preach at them. If people insult me, I will educate them. If people try to force me to believe as they do by threats and insults, I will target them for re-education with a high priority.

Answer 10

Satanists don't push their beliefs on others the way Christians do. Plus, they are a lot more fun.

Answer 11

Because Christians cause the problems, not satanists.
