to the pagans and christians, why do you both say each other is wrong?

Question

you pagans dont believe in god or jesus and you christians dont believe in pagan gos or goddeses,, yet both of you cant scientifically prove either one so since its all on faith and belief only why dont you 2 just leave each other alone

Answer 1

Actually very few Pagan's would say the Christians are wrong. The majority of Pagan belief systems are Polytheist by nature, and allow for an infinite number of gods. So everyone is free to worship which ever god they feel the most connection to. Some Pagan sect use a similiar concept with the added belief that all things are tied together so that regardless of the name your simply worshiping one part of a total whole. This system allows for the Christian God to exist easily next to the many pantheons of other Pagan gods and goddesses.

Christians however have a Monotheist religion in which any God that is not their god is false. In ages past they were often also considered to be demons or some other creature of evil and thus the people worshiping them needed to be converted or destroyed so as to protect them from themselves and the evil they were following.

In modern times though most Christian sects pretty much leave Pagan's alone. Our religious views may not fit into the Christian view of the world, but they have learned that forcing religion upon someone is pointless and bound to failure.

We each have to choose our own path.

Answer 2

Oh, I believe in the Christian God and Jesus, I just don't worship them. I would be glad to leave the Christians alone, and all I want from them is to be left alone as well. But it's an article of faith in Christianity to convert the non-believer. So we often have to defend ourselves against religious bullying. Also, there are situations where we must defend our rights -- the right to have a Pentagram on a Pagan veteran's grave marker is a recent example. But, I would fight just as hard for a Christian's right to display the Cross, if that right were ever threatened.

To the Christians, I say -- stop trying to convert us. Stand with us, not against us. We both value religious freedom. Respect ours, and we will help you stand up for yours.

Answer 3

Most Pagans leave Christians alone.
Most Christians leave Pagans alone....HOWEVER, the minority of busy-bodies in Christianity that poke at Pagans is made up of a LOT more people than their Pagan opposite number.

Answer 4

I have never and will never say that christians are wrong. Everyone believes in the deity differently. One is in no way better than the other. I do not believe that Jesus Christ was the son of god, but that does not take away from the fact that he was a very charismatic person and a very free thinker at a time when it was needed most.

Please get your facts right before making rash statements such as ALL or EVERY. They are never correct.

Answer 5

Well, a lot of Christians, like me, take our heads out of religion for a minute and study history. I am not saying anyone is wrong or right, i am saying that if people studied history and religion they would understand better. Set-a-side the fact I am a Christian. If someone read the bible and studyied history most likely, you woulld have a lot of answers to many things ( this question, etc. ) Like my mother was reading the bible and studying history she found interesting answers to stuff. If you want to know what email me because, I do not want to start a virtual spirtual warefare.

Answer 6

Well I personally don't go around trying to "witness" my pagan beliefs to the christians like they do. Plus I don't say they are wrong. Their truth is not mine. That is not the same as saying they are wrong. What they believe is right for them.

Answer 7

I believe in both paganism and christianity.

Answer 8

Because they're so busy trying to convince themselves they've made the right spiritual decision that they cannot see the similarities in the two different spiritual paths and they cannot see that all paths lead to the same place.
