I was asking a question about God. Isn't that clear? Or do people not even read past the title?

Apparently I can't compose reasonable questions on Monday (or any other day *drum sting*). I'll try again. Hold on.

I don't agree with Dav. Most fun I've had in a month! I thought at first that you were an open-minded Christian and was rather refreshed by that. It doesn't really change the nature of the question because I now know that your Wiccan. You still have an interesting ability to cloak your origins (IMO).
People see what they expect to see. This can be changed by will. Normally, asking about saving a child from a cliff involks reasons for Saving, not what the heck is this God doing watching all his children jump off of a cliff?
Point blank. Most of Humanity has a different value system than this God. I believe that in the past, it was a reflection of the value system of humans, but we've evolved. God hasn't, due to that One God clause.
So, many nuture our past, to the detriment of all of us. We could let these traits go and see where that gets us.

I looked at some of your questions and have made the following observations. People may think you have an agenda probably because your questions indicate strong feelings about what you believe the answer should be. If a person indicates a preferred answer, then they are advocating a position (perhaps unconsciously) rather than asking a neutral question.
I have been studying comparative religion and the various flavors of the occult since before Wicca became an organization.
If you truly have questions, you should be asking an elder of your belief system. It is unrealistic to expect answers with happy thoughts about witchcraft or Christianity from Christians of faith. As a person raised as a non-Christian, I have made the effort to understand Christians, and wish them and people of all other faiths to have good fortune in their lives and religious practices. I believe in religious tolerance, not just towards non-Christians, but also towards Christians.
If you have a question on the Occult, feel free to post it. If it is an interesting question, you may get an answer.

EDIT: So sorry, I got it now... I did read the question but I should have read it 3 or 4 times! I totally agree, I wouldn't let my kids fall off a cliff for they free will's sake! If hell is true, God not only lets us walk off the cliff... he made the cliff too!

i told you a lot of people don't bother to read the Q....lol....it was a good Q
oh sheesh benoit...read the whole thing properly....she's makinga completely different point! people still don't get it do they?
i think why t a lot of people got confused is because you used the word "save" .......and they think you're a christian who's trying to convert them!

I presume that they didn't read all of your question. I don't see you trying to convert anyone, but asking an interesting question.
