Christians refuse to believe that our spells are our sacred prayers to our gods.  I think that is just sad.  They have closed minds and prejudiced hearts.

They are doing the exact same thing we are doing they just can't accept that.  Nor can they accept that in their holy book is magick as well, they just call it miracles.  To bad they don't realize it and become more tolerant.

As a Wiccan I feel this kind of thing is just ridiclous. People have been gossiping about others for many years and it hasnt changed much. People are known by their deeds not by their words in my opinion, if you put out kindness and have the forethought to choose your words before you speak, you got it made. \n\nIt is true that Christians have taken our symbols, our Sabbats and the like and incorporated them into their thealogy, symbolism and the like; but this is not the way of the modern day Christian, most are more tolerant of us these days then when the Christian Church began. \n\nTechnically, one cannot worship someone or something if one doesnt believe in it. Hope this helps. Blessed Be.

Well, they don't believe in or worship satan.  They state that they use the word "satan" as a symbol of anything inherently anti-Christian (ie- indulgence in sin).  They worship themselves.

Those words are not of God and not of Christ. A Christian who says those things is not acting as a Christian should. These are deceptions of the devil and are based on hatred.\n\nYou, I see from many of your posts, are grappling with these questions. But you post them as if they were insults or jokes. I see through that. You are partly consumed by a temptation to persecute Christians. You are partly ruled by this and have no control over it. And it bothers you. But your resolution is a false one, in that you believe Christians are at the root of this lack of inner control. It feeds the flames and you relinquish more self-mastery as time passes.\n\nThe proof is that at this moment you are probably saying this is stupid and you will try to ignore it. Ignorance is your tool to continue the persecution. As long as you refuse to understand what Christianity teaches then you can continue to mock it with half-sincere questions based out of your inner conflicts.\n\nIt is not Christians you have a problem with. It is yourself. But go ahead and scoff and continue on in the path of slavery to your emotions.

Christians don't believe in Greek and Roman gods...\n\nI don't believe in Greek and Roman gods and I also don't believe in the Christian god.\n\nI contend that we are both atheists, the Christians and I.  I am simply without belief in one more god.  Once they take the time to realize why they reject all other gods, they'll hopefully understand why I reject theirs.

People harden their hearts to God...they choose not to believe because if He exists they have to make a decision. It is much easier to call Christians crazy.

Yes, I agree. Most Christians are ignorant but most people in general are also. Maybe God has been laying this on your heart not in order to criticize them but for you to look deep inside yourself and see what you can do to help these Christians become less ignorant. (if they are truly Christians). Use your knowledge to help teach others. Sadly you will realize how heartbreaking this chore will be for you, but it sounds like you may already know this. Remember that God knows your heart and the teaching of His truths,wether accepted or not, always bring glory to God.

Wow, I am amazed at the responses you've gotten so far.\nWe keep hearing about how people who don't believe in God are supposed to be so much more intelligent than those of us who do, and yet, all we here from these educated people is that you should go to school, or read a book...in other words, they can't answer your questions.\nGee, and even when they admit that they can't answer your questions, they throw in an insult, just for good measure....\n\nLooks as if you've hit a nerve, my friend!!

Christians are very ignorant of other faiths.  I suppose because they're been raised to think that theirs is the only true faith and that everyone else needs to be converted to Christianity.\n\nIt's getting better though.

I'm not totally sure that these people's actions are fully from God. Not to be like anti-God or anything please don't assume, but Satan also has powers that influence people and can eventually take over their lives. Being a Christian, I don't believe that these men are really doing what you think they are, but I'm not speaking for the whole Christian body, just for me. On the counter, there's nowhere in the Bible that says, "miracle healers are fake," but I can't believe that this is true. There is a passage in the Bible that talks about weak Christians (people who believe that they have to wear a certain thing, look a certain way, do certain things, etc. not saying that they aren't Christians, they are) and strong Christians, (who believe that we can come to Jesus as we are and that He is the sacrifice for our sins.) I think that these miracle healers are the weaker Christians and the strong Christians must help them see that they don't have to do that. They think that they have to heal and touch people to make them well, when really the miracle is from God. I hope that you can make sense of all this. This is a very difficult passage of Scripture to understand.

I should imagine that God hates all religions.  Most wars have been fought in the name of one religion or another - and all in His name!  I should think he's fed up to the back teeth with it all.  All that is really required is for us to love one another; to treat each other with respect and compassion; to acknowledge God as our creator, and to have a personal dialogue with Him in the form of prayer.  To this end, I don't think He cares one iota where we choose to pray.

No one can know the mind of God, because I don’t think anything written in ANY religious book is from a divine source, it’s from people who were trying to control the status quo in whatever time it was written.  It had more to do with politics than it did worship.

Because they reject God, not necessarily us. But Jesus did say that "those who hate me will hate you also". I think it's sinful nature to hate the idea of an almighty God that is gonna judge those who don't repent.

Well they pray to statues.  That is a pagan tradition.

Who knows? But frankly,it's not just Christians. I would think God is pretty tired of both armies wanting Him on their side. More people have died throughout history because they say their God is better than the other guys. It's insane!!!

there are more of us than most people would like to think. I think it's because we are less dramatic, less hypocritical and more open minded than most. Most wiccans seem more at peace and have not the need to criticize or convert so as a more accepting religion we tend to be over looked. I like to believe that perhaps they will understand in the next life or perhaps the one after that. I mean they will understand when the Gods want them to, or not whatever.

Josh, I can understand your reaction and plea. It's sort of like having a bunch of mosquitos buggin' you and you can't get away from them, and you don't have any "RAID". Religious arguments are useless. Many Christians are trying to do God's work for him, rather than just focusing on their own walk with God, and letting God do his own work. They get pushy in their zeal to get everybody "saved". Some of them mean well, but some are really not mentally or spiritually well, and they'll give RELIGIOUS answers to everthing, including NON RELIGIOUS questions. I know that you can delete your own answer to a question, but sometimes I think it would be a good idea if people asking a question could delete answers that offended them. That way the pushy ones (and other people who give offensive answers)would get their answers deleted quite often, and they would soon learn that what they were doing wasn't appreciated and wasn't doing any good. And it would filter the answers for other readers who want to read relevant answers and cast a vote etc. You might want to suggest that to Yahoo. By the way, I am a Christian too.
