WHY Dont you see the truth?

Question

Why is it so hard for people to understand that Pagans do not worship the devil?
I honestly dont get it?!

Is it just you want to gloat and send us to hell in a handbasket?

Answer 1

Oh Darling,

This is the background of my famous Anti "Duealist" rant.

These people ONLY see things in Black & White - so they miss the richness of grey & totally forget/ignore/blind to the entire colour spectrum.

There are plenty of people out there who believe anything not familiar is all combined under the same "evil" label - afterall they HAVE to be the "good" ones therefore..

I just keep thinking "You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make it think"... There is NOTHING you can do to change a Zealot's mind.

Be safe.

A long time ago Pagans were the majority. Then Christianity came and took the Pagan gods and turned them into devils so people would believe that Pagans were evil.

It is ignorance and fear causing people to act like this. They are too afraid to educate themselves about different cultures and ideas, so they cower in their churches and spread hate. Pity them, they live in hatred and fear while we are free to be happy. Remember that not all are like this, I have some very good Christian friends that accept me as I am.

Nicole--thank you. You are a kinder person than most.

The amazing thing about Christianity is that there are scriptures some of us value that tell us that the Holy Ghost of the trinity is female.

She is called Wisdom or Sophia and before the universe she was the consort to Christ. She was ejected from Christ when she tried to experience the Father which is unknowable. In isolation she created the elements then matter and soul but in so doing formed the Demiurge who was blind to Sophia and considering itself alone said "Let there be light" the Demiurge is master of all angels bright and dark but all are evil.

We are Sophia trapped in matter by Demiurge. Christ came to free us.

So in Gnostic theology Jehovah is evil and the devil and the big lie is that most Christians worship him and not the Father who is an entirely different God.

That kind of makes them the Satan worshipers.


Blessed Be!

Answer 4

We are not going to hell. Even if we do most Christians will be there also.

Back in the eighties people like Bob Larson claimed Satanic abuse was a very huge problem and he is one reason people believe we worship the devil in which we do not even believe.

Actually we are better people than most Christians because we believe in personal responsibility and we receive back what we send out, but Christians have a free ticket punched and their sins forgiven and no matter what they do Jesus cover their sin.l

Answer 5

I am a Christian and I understand that you do not worship the devil...Devil worshipers worship the devil...people just tend not to discern that the term Pagan is not necessarily a devil worshiper. I think too many people with different beliefs are lumped into the term Pagan..devil worshipers being one of them. I typically consider people who call themselves Pagan to be followers of the Wiccan Religion...is this a fairly correct assumption. If you read this, please let me know =) Thanks and I am glad you do not worship the devil.

Answer 6

I'm of the opinion that the old "Seeing is believing but, you can't (don't want to?) always believe what you see."

Accepting the truth that Pagans don't believe in the devil comes with a lot of baggage for them. If they do believe that then it means they will have to redefine what they believe the devil is. It is therefore simply much easier for them to hold on to their false beliefs because it means they don't have to change their minds.

Nobody wants to admit they are wrong and as long as they can, en masse, perpetuate the lie, they can postpone the inevitable exposure of their flawed ideas for as long as they have voices to condemn those they CHOOSE not to understand.

Answer 7

Well, to truly understand you would have to be apart of the world that says such things.

The level of indoctrination and propaganda involved in fundementalist churches rivals anything Kim Jong Ill could ever produce.

Take me for example, I was raised Conservative Southron Baptist. I am 37 and left the faith at around 16 or so. I was taught that it was illegal to pray in public schools. I just discovered last year that this was a lie. I was shown movies sent to seminars bible camps and so on and so forth throughout my childhood that were geared solely towards making things like wicca catholiscism, mormanism look horrible.

They literally brainwash children into believeing these things however provably false they are.

Answer 8

When Christian doctrine was being established in the Roman Empire in the 4th century AD, the most common religious belief in the Roman Empire was pagan monotheism. It is what Christianity really grew out. Most Christian beliefs were copied from it.

Like all major religions, Christianity became popular by demonizing the religions it grew out of. That is why Christians continue to demonize pagans today.

Answer 9

My concept on 'reality' all of us understand that anybody cultures separated around the international rfile a matching tale on the subject of God and our courting to him/her/it. decrease back then, while human beings wrote issues down, it became into no longer something like at present the place any trivial rubbish is worth of print. Writings have been sacred and uncommon and histories have been acknowledged with humble reliable faith to the best of their constrained means to appreciate. we could constantly be attempting to decipher the truths hidden therein. no longer scoff at them! each way of existence or team has a 'creation tale', 'regulations' to stay your existence via and an 'Armageddon tale' (even technological know-how). we could settle for that those style of writings have inaccuracies and misconceptions yet stem from one person-friendly reality that has been misplaced to the previous. it is not no longer worry-free to work out that something user-friendly and particular NON-scientific handed off on the 1st gentle of humanity. I dare no longer attempt to hypothesise on precisely WHAT that reality could be yet i will say that neither faith nor technological know-how has a passable account of ways we or the universe have been given to be right here. i additionally will say that i've got faith technological know-how has the best physique of techniques, nevertheless it needs to develop it is horizons and not be so conceited in direction of non-scientific strategies. EXTREMISM IN ANY direction is going NOWHERE!

Answer 10

I found out why they think we worship the devil. They have all watched "Rosemary's Baby" 17,384,666 times. Each. They think we all took like those old farts in the movie and that all the Christians look innocent like Mia Farrow. Simple.
