alike.
Shall we both endeavor to list our similarities?
What do you see in the other that we can relate to?
1. We both are aware there is a higher being which we love and honor
2. We thrive on loving one another
3. We all work on expanding our spiritual wisdom
4. We're all just people looking for the best of ourselves and for each other.

Every answer gets a thumbs up!
Blessings to us all

5. we're both seeking to find what is the truth for us.
6. We both believe in unconditional love for our fellow beings and (most of us) strive to practice it as well.
7. we both attempt to express our needs and gratefullness is a verbal and/or mental expression of will (i.e. prayer for Christians and many Pagans, and spells for some Pagans.)
8. we both understand the importance of our personal spiritual development.
9. If it isn't imposing, we are both willing to aid in the spiritual developement of another.
10. we both believe we have a connection to all others (for us Pagans it's through the nature of existence itself typically, and sometimes being the sons and daughters of the Goddess(es) and God(s) and for Christians it's through being sons and daughters of their God.)
um...i'm sure the list goes on but I've to head to bed now,
Blessed be!

There are some key differences:
1. Christians think they can be evil all week and then go to confession and wipe the slate clean
2. Christians start wars in the name of God
3. George W. Bush is a Christian
4. God does not exist

When you think about it, ALL religions are very much alike--ALL religions follow the four points you have made, even if we call our Higher Powers by a different name. If we call God (or Goddess) "Jesus" or "Allah" or "Frank," we're all praying to the same One.
Also, here is one more to add to your list...one more thing all religions have in common when stripped of all the dogma:
LOVE

Keep going girl; staying where one is at (I presently call it status quoism) is what has gotten many 'Christian' souls in trouble. That is where the present division in 'Christianity' world wide has part of its roots.

i think you did a really good job covering our similarities. i'm glad to see you're thinking about it. most people worry about the differences instead.
