Looking at your avatar and name, I sense you were ready to beat the **** out of anyone before you even joined this site.  \n\nI say live and let live.  Don't let the preaching get to you.  Just do your own thing.\n\nYour question is cute though!

Let me take a moment to go on record as saying that the majority of the responses above more than adequately show the lack of respect and hypocracy that is rampant in the Christian community (see the "Why do Christian's Bash Everyone?" question, where everyone says "we don't bash - other's bash *us*!" mmhmm.)\n\nAnyways, Just to let you know I've seen a steady Satanist community over on beliefnet.  While I may not practice your beliefs (or the Christian's beliefs either) I do respect your right as an individual to believe and practice as you will, to whatever brings joy to your life.\n\nIf everyone could bring an ounce of compassion to thier lives, and perhaps act like civilized human beings (and not a torch wielding mob) the world would be a much safer and happier place.\n\nGood luck in your search :)

I must tell you that it saddens me to hear that your experiences with Christianity have left you disenchanted with the whole thing. As a "christian" I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to you for any thing that anyone who calls themselves a christian has done to hurt or anger you.\n  I would like to say that i agree with one of the other posts in the fact that not everyone who calls themselves christian truly knows Jesus Christ.  You see "Christianity" has become just another religion where we humans try to reach God on our own terms.  That's where all the "bible thumping" comes from.  Jesus is Gods attempt to reach us humans through His love, unfortunately most Christians never fully experience His love and therefore can never love themselves.  They think that by being super zealous for the laws that God has set for us, and "taking a stand" for what they believe that they will some how please god more.  The bible teaches that we can do nothing to please God, outside of having a relationship with His son Jesus Christ.\n\nI would be honored to share with you how you can truly experience Gods love if you want.\n\n\np.s.  I didn't get the stamp of approval from my church or minister but that's OK cause I AM one of the ministers!:)\n\ncrazy that one of us guys would read something that challenged Christianity huh?  Hope i am up to the challenge

I don't see anything wrong with your beliefs.  In fact one of the things that pisses me off most in the Pagan community is Christian bashing.\n\nI believe some of this stems from people who call themselves Christians that ridicule our beliefs calling them false or devil-worshiping.  \n\nHowever, far more, I think, comes from some Pagan and Neo-Pagan authors who try to make Christians out to be the villains.  These people also perpetuate the myth that Christians hate everybody who isn't one and attempt to use the past, such as the crusades, in order to falsely validate this opinion.\n\nI don't think Christians ever blatantly took Pagan beliefs, Although I believe some Pagan practices may have been incorporated into Christianity, the same goes for virtually all religions.  We all take beliefs and/or traditions from religions that came before ours because they had been a part of life. Being Wiccan, I absolutely know Christianity couldn't take any of my beliefs because my religion is fairly new.\n\nAll in all, I see no reason to be at war with Christianity.  On the contrary, we should be working to better understand one anther's belief systems if at least to gain more knowledge about the world around us.

Perhaps they are angry because they feel like they are not part of the inheritance and resent your confidence that you are. It's not good to judge others but it is natural  I guess, in the fallen world. I have moments of doubt too. It's not easy to love your enemy, especially when you don't want any enemies. If they say you are ignorant, remember, judge not for as you judge you will be judged. Remember also that wisdom appears foolish to a fool. It is not our place to convert. Maybe that has to do with the resentment. I don't know, but I think your delicate manner is a good example of kindness in the face of adversity. You are tolerant and in my opinion a good embassador for Christianity, if you are a Christian. Oh, and YES!,  you do make sense.

Have to love christians - follow god or you will suffer for eternity. Please, give us a break with all of your religious crap. Nothing like trying to scare people into believeing something.

Well miss Vicky, The King suspects that you hate because of what I feel about it as well. It SUCKS!! And its fake!! Now don't get me wrong people, there are some nice churches around but for the most part it revolves around MONEY!!! What kind of sh-it is that?!?! God told you to go to church and spend money or you go to hell!?!? YEAH RIGHT, this is man made bull spit!! You recognize the trickery in churches, that is why my friend, you hate it! Nothing wrong with that!! This is a free world, you can feel what you want, as long as its the truth!! \nSincerely The King

You should definitely dodge the Christian you have gotten close to. He's already laying a guilt trip on you, what's next?\n\nFollow your desires as you see them and date the non-Christian if he seems like a decent guy.\n\n((((( r u randy? )))))\n.

That's very nice of you. But be warned, many will ridicule you and mock you for this, but don't let it get to you, Jesus knows who they are and will deal with them. You just keep praying for them.

I'm a christian- but you should not stand by and do nothing. being a christian i believe in sin. and a sin is not only what you do but also what you don't do. if you can help others and do not, it is a sin for you. but don't worry, I'm not a Jesus nut, i listen to reason.\n\nI think your question is very good and is a truth on to it's self.\n\nif you apply this to religion that hates another religion...\nChristians have no excuse. YOU should not hate anyone. or any religion. it is not your place. that's Gods job. if he hates something, he'll take care of it. or do you not believe that God is REAL and is a thinking living person. so for Christians an aggressive stand point on this question is ... out of the question. it is a Christians job to reason and convince the person or government or authority figure to not hurt/abuse/kill but they must leave the... force, to God. God said "vengeance is mine"-Deuteronomy 32:35. And Jesus brings his vengeance "upon those who do not know God"-2Thessalonians 1:8. So back off, Christians! Gods got it under control. Christian should use the teachings of there religion to show a better way to whoever is attacking. but if so-called Christians are the ones that hurt/abuse/kill, then God will take care of them too.\n\nthe same goes for those that are hurting the environment

Yes it does sound like christians are shooting themselves in the foot. its quite amusing. I also think that on some subconciese level that the guilt fear and shame inside them darkens thier hearts until they are unaware they are doing anything wrong or believing anything wrong/.;

I know how you feel.  I am the target of a lot of "Christian Rage" around here. Many of them hate me for what I stand for.  \n\nThey are frustrated that christianity is in the decline because they see it as the only right and moral way of life.\n\nThey view me and Wiccans as corruptors of youth and flagrant sinners.  They have no hesitations to tell me that I am wrong and they are right.\n\nI don't think its my place to judge the beliefs of others.  But i certainly don't like it that they feel that they are so much better than me.\n\nIf they would just accept, like me, that we don't as humans have all the answers.  I think we could find common ground and work on peaceful coexistance.\n\nAfter all, Wicca is the fastest growing religion in the US, they will have to deal with our presence one way or another.

im kinda curious why you keep on saying "you" instead of "they". you are pretty quick to point the finger here when really, your doing the same thing you accuse these other people for doing.  what makes all of your labeling and judgement on these people ok, but their labeling and judgement not ok?  now dont get me wrong, i think it gets pretty annoying when some christians feels they are higher and mightier than everyone else and in turn, they are so eager to cast the first stone and call out everything they feel is wrong.  i am a christian and always find myself quite a bit embarrassed when other christians, or self-presumed christians embarrass the faith, like in the example you gave.\n\nthis is just on a side note, but im thinking you have had a fair share of encounters with believers about religious topics.  and im guessing they all turned from peaceful conversation into heated debate which only adds fuel to your fire on not getting along with christians and  you viewing them in a negative way.  (this may  not be true, dont worry, in a way im not even directing this towards you,  i just have a few atheist friends with this problem so i thought id share this idea in hopes that it might open someones eyes who reads  this)  so think of yourself here.  and look  back on a specific argument you had.  i can  almost garuntee that you were so  quick not to accept whatever the believer had to say, just because of the  pride  in which you hold in being an atheist.  this allows for negativity to come into play and inevitable frustration on both ends causing for harsh words and you not accepting christians even more than before.\n\nthe christian idea is to spread the word  of God and show people how great the lord's love is and how it can change your life and especially your death.  christians do not aim at upsetting people and making them feel bad by pointing out everything that they do wrong.  christians know the love of god and want to show that to everyone, so they try to show you what you are doing wrong in the eyes of god and they  are wanting to help you turn from that.  you may even be the nicest person ever; youre caring, considerate, and just an overall good person.  the mistake that people make who are like this is that they believe they will enter the gates of heaven just for their deeds.  it clearly  states in the bible that salvation and the ticket to heaven is through jesus christ, and jesus christ only.  it even says no man's deeds will give  him  permission into heaven.\n\ni  realize i  got a bit off  topic here and i apologize,  i guess i just got a little caried away.\n\nanyway, i just ask that you dont label all christians just because there are one or two quacks that youve run into.  things like the example you brought up is really just embarrassing and ridiculous.

Of course there's nothing wrong with you. Maybe you believe in something else. You don't always go to hell if you don't believe in Jesus. I accepted him into my life last summer and life's been great! Take me advice and I'm sure you'll be happy.

Be thankful we don't judge all non-believers but your ignorance.  You are a bigot who spews hostility and hatred. If you ever want to quiet that beast, just ask a Christian how :-)
