I am pagan. and I know that they will tell me I am going to hell, but I really don't care. I just want to know why they assume that all people who pity them are atheists.

You are what you are. Nobody can change that. Only you have the power to make the changes in your own life. I am a Believer and I believe that Jesus left one commandment for us - to love one another as He has loved us. To do that, I must not look at you through any other mirror except HIS. Then, I can love you and not judge you and I am doing what he asked. I don't know why others say and do what they do, and I cannot speak for them. I can only speak for myself. I am glad that I know the truth and I am free. I have no hatred or anger in my heart toward anyone. I believe that there is a seed that has already been planted in you and that seed will be watered and fertilized by perhaps someone else, and when the time comes, revelation will also. In the meantime, don't worry about what others say about your not being 'saved' or whatever their teaching or preaching to you might be. All things come in time. Peace.

Yeah, everybody knows the parties in hell are great! NOT. You will not enjoy it one bit. But feel free to choose it if you wish, that is what free choice is all about. You don't have to "pity" someones beliefs to be an athiest, just say there is no God and you are an athiest.

u share the same superiority complex as them and the all other religions. save your pity for yourself. you can't fathom the true meaning of life and neither can the billions of people on this planet. no religion is correct period. but if being a pagan works for you, then do it. dont waste time pitying people when you could further your spiritual advancement.

Atheism is not an accusation, but a position you take. If you deny the existence of God this means you are an atheist. The word atheist itself is purely descriptive in nature.

Ya know, I have an issue with your "Born Biased" thing. Most Christians that I know personally were NOT raised to be Christians, but most Christian-haters that I know personally WERE raised to hate Christians. I also notice that you display an astounding closed-minded intolerance, but that's the very thing that you bash Christians for. If you're not tolerant of everyone and everything and not open-minded yourself, what qualifies you to rant against intolerance and closed-mindedness?

I don't care whom you pity, and I don't presume that anyone who pities me is an atheist or anything else. Where did you come up with that nonsense?

Why do you pity them. Why think of their beliefs at all and not spend you time in your beliefs.Do they bother you?
i do not pity you so why pity me. i appreciate your thoughts though.

I am not an atheist either but they assume I am because I am not one of them.

I pity your beliefs.
Do you now assume that I am some sort of Christian who thinks you will go to hell?
