I'm curious. One of my pagan buddies posted a question in which several of you felt the need to insult pagans and tell us how we're all wrong. Do you like it when the shoe is on the other foot? Be honest, remember that's part of your creed.

It doesn't bother me when I'm told that I'm "wrong," but I myself never go around saying that about other beliefs either. I never claimed to have all the answers. :)
It does kind of gets on my nerves when I'm told that I'm "brainwashed" or "delusional." I don't think I deserve any of those labels.

Everyone is entitled to believe whatever they choose.
To insult another's belief is not the Christian way. Jesus said so, "when In Rome, do as the Romans do".
A Christians "creed" is to simply show humanity the right way to live through example and unfortunately there are a lot of hypocrites out there.
I don't ever claim to be perfect and neither should anyone else...no matter what faith.

Two people can read the same exact thing. And come out with two totally different answers.
Just because someone tells you something from the bible doesn't mean that it is wrong. It is just another way of looking at it. Not only one religion is going to heaven. Keep your eyes open, ears listening and be prepared for anything thrown your way.
God Bless

well kallan they are not wrong the religion of christanity is a good and just religiion so i never have worries about it it is the one true religion for that person. as to us pagans these religions are the one true religion for us.
remember the path to god follows many routes (this is actual a christian edict which they tend to over look)
well may they insult us lets show them the error of their ways and treat this child religion and its followers with the same attitude you would towards a child. our religions are older and will still be around when christianity meets it ends as is slowly happening even as we discuss it here

it bothers me , not that i feel that I'm wrong but that i feel that its such a tragedy that the god of this world has blinded the eyes of so many people. I'm not saying that I am so smart or whatever, ya gotta understand, I was not born a Christian, my family went to church on sunday but they never really talked about their faith outside of church, I became a Christian when I was 18 because I realized that I can't save myself from my sin. I've done alot of good in my life and a whole lot of bad. I needed God's forgiveness, I needed a new heart with new desires. He saved me. I wanted to get drunk, have sex with a bunch of girls, party, just live for here and now but I remember going home from a party and saying to myself "this doesn't fulfill me at all, there has to be more". I could go on but my fingers hurt! lata

It bothers me when someone makes assumptions about all christians. But for that matter, it bothers me when someone makes assumptions and generalizations about anyone.
It doesn't bother me if someone tells me that my belief is wrong. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. What does bother me is when someone tells me my belief is wrong in an ugly and hateful way. (for example, you are going to hell because you are a catholic.) You can believe what you want, and you can share those beliefs, BUT you can also do it in a way that isn't insulting or hateful.
It does bother me when I read answers that say all pagans are going to hell, or anything like that. I believe that noone can judge another person. Only god can do that.

Everyone that believes something else especially on this board tells the other they are wrong.
if people are seriously getting offended by words on a screen in a forum invented to pass time at work they should prolly seek help. Same w/ the idiots reporting people. Unless they ran over your dog, you can ignore people, its okay to do that.

Some of us believe that pagans make much better followers of Jesus, in his words and actions, than any supposed Christian we have have ever met.
Being blasted by the average Christian should be taken as a compliment that you are doing something right.

Kallan,
I do NOT put down other's beliefs and I am a Christian. It only hurts me that some refuse me the same courtesy and respect that I give them. I have a number of Christian, Pagan, Agnostic, and Atheist Friends on this site. Have a great day and a wonderful week.
Thanks,
Eds

If they answer yes they need to do unto others as they will have other do unto them and stop telling other people they are wrong. They need to realize that if they weren't born in, say, the US, and instead they were born in Japan, they would say that Shintoism is the right religion. If they were born in the Middle East: Judaism or Islam...so on and so forth.
Only about 30% of the world's population is Christian. I find it inconceivable that 70% of people are all wrong.

2 people can examine the comparable proper ingredient. and dad out with 2 completely distinctive solutions. merely because of the fact somebody tells you some thing from the bible does no longer mean that it is incorrect. it is basically yet in any different case of finding at it. no longer basically one faith is going to heaven. shop your eyes open, ears listening and be arranged for something thrown your way. God Bless
