It is hard for certain christians to empathize with non-believers. Their god did not command them to do so. Instead their god commands them to witness to the non-believers. It is not a good basis for common understanding.
Beware of wolves, but they are few. What we really need to beware are the sheep who follow and do not think.

geez you were so cheerful yesterday---what happened? Heck, I even gave you a best answer...BTW I have no problem believing that God is a woman...I never really understood what women want, either...you want to know what I believe? Honest? I think that it is very fashionable nowadays to be a Buddhist, a Wiccan, or an atheist, and this fashion, too, will pass. the strange thing about it to me is that in attempting to achieve non-conformity in their spiritual lives, (and tick their parents off as an added bonus) a lot of these young people are simply conforming with their peers. But hey, whatever. Am I saved? Beats me? Am I going to heaven? Gee, I guess I'll either find out, or I won't...Do shrill Christians really have a stranglehold on reality? Dear Lord I hope not...Has my faith (such as it is) made my life better, has it made my son a better person? Oh yeah---no doubt.
you really did stir the pot up, tho---gotta give you credit. If I give you a star will you promise not to be so crabby next time?

Shoving something down someones mouth is one thing and usually is not a good manner to proceed, but let me ask you something... Lets say..
You have found a great gift that someone is prepared to give everyone that asks for free, would you refrain from telling people you care about it?
Its sad that people take offense when they are presented with a gift. If you don't want it, fine I can respect that although I will also be sad for you.
If I were you try to make your decision from a neutral viewpoint and don't be so quick to condem.
If I sum you up correctly (I might be wrong) you don't even know much about wiccan. Do your homework before you judge or else you are just as bad as the Christians who judge.
I am a Christian and proud to be. I do not believe simple because my parents did, I believe because of personal experiences and research that I have done and I believe that : The Truth shall set you free.
I hope this could have shed some light on my opinion.

Why do you generalize Christians? How do you know Christians don't respect your beliefs? How many Christians have you met in your lifetime? A true Christian does not judge. I know what MY beliefs are, and I stand by them 100%. If your Goddess is named Jesus Christ, AND if your Goddess died on the cross to save humanity ... then I accept your Goddess - and I embrace your Goddess - as my Savior. Other than that I rebuke any and all references to YOUR Goddess as my Savior!
As for what YOU believe ... I have nothing at all to do with that. In the end, YOU're the one who's gonna have to live with that choice!
☺☺☺ Let's just call it a draw and agree that we can ALL disagree, huh?! ☺☺☺

Answer: You are a bad girl for asking two questions in one post..." my Goddess is your savior!?" and "respect my beliefs?"
While I understand what you are saying...Good God...or Goddess as the case might be...Even the majority of Christians reject the "I am bound to testify" as a fringe, the aunt one hides in the attic if you will.
Notable that only THEY proselytize ...but shun their own that do it openly!

No I'm not annoyed by it, I have realized that people will choose to believe whatever they want to. Well, Jesus Christ is the Savior. I have heard of a lot of people say what you have, but it won't stop me from telling people about God. No, I'm not ticked off by it, but it probably makes the devil and his demons happy. I respect people in general, but I don't or will not agree to anything that comes up agaisnt God.It sounds like you want someone to feel sorry for you, but you make the path you want in life.

Most Christians are not like that. Please do not confuse the Fundamentalist(with emphasis on the 3rd and 4th syllables)Protestant minority with all Christians.
I respect the sincerity and beliefs of the Wiccans I know.
As a Catholic Christian, I can sympathyze with being "sent to hell" by FundaProts. God bless them
Which Goddess tradition do you prefer?
God bless you and Blessed Be. Nemaste

Those who have not heard the gospel with be judged according to: Romans 2:12-16 For as many as have sinned without the law will also perished without the law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; for when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things contained in the law, these although not having the law, are a law to themselves, who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) in the day when God judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. God bless you.

It's always annoying with a religion you don't believe in shoves itself down your throat.
I'm Wiccan.
I know the Goddess is real. She has answered my prayers many times. I also know Zeus is real. :)
Zeus and Hera forever
