bansheemourning PLEASE READ THIS ONE:I was born & RAISED a celt. I don't like to use the words Wiccan or Pagan for the simple fact that it conjures up pictures of preconcieved (& usually untrue) ideas. If you say Celt, they are intrigueed & readily ask "what is that?". I have in my mid-twenties tried the "christian lifestyle", & found it condescending & hippocratic. Many of my friends are christian, but I also have Jewish, Pagan, Islamic, Buddhist, & Atheist friends. I have 8 children, & I tell them it's not WHAT you believe, just That you believe, & most importantly in yourself. No matter what religion, or anti-rligion you claim, we all fall under one simple rule...Treat others the way you want to be treated. Everything else will fall in place.
That is truly great! n_n
I do treat others the way I would like to be treated. Even though I feel some hatred towards the religion, that does not mean I hate the people who believe in it. Like I said (I think) I have many friens who believe in christianity, and others who don't. I don't care, because I know that they don't allow to the religion to BE them, but to be a PART of them. That doesn't change the way how I see individuals, and I believe in karma anyways. So if I'm good to people, they are nice back. All in a delicate balance...n_n

ArynChris miraridemon Proud Christian. I really don't care what you are, though. Even if you are an infidel. rofl Oh, but to hear the word "infidel" for my friends learn the togue of Arabs. But enough of that.DR49ON oh, and my gods actually care about their people and will actually have conversations with and directly help us, so that's a plus. Oh? For true? Does my Lord not speak to me? For whom do I seek in need of guidance, whom do I seek in need of love?
I seek my Lord in my heart, His Spirit within me, to lead me in all of His ways.
Though folk stray from His path and twist all of his words is it not the devil who leads them so? Did not the serpent ever lead to sin? Oh, watchful for forked tongues must ever the Christian be, nor Jew, nor Muslim, for one sees where they lead.
Remember the teachings and how long in time they were and how a message oft passed is not the same afterwards. Remember the Lord the sacrifice of Son the gift of the Spirit that with God's way makes us one, and remember forever, no matter days what may pass, that this love leaves us never and some concepts ever last.
Okay...hold on... Lets just set the record straight here. I'll will start with the fact that I am Wiccan, but I am sure that most every everyone of the pagan and/or non-Christian persuasion will agree with me here. 1. We do not believe in the Christian Satan/Devil, as you seem to do, for why else would you reference him so. In so referencing him, or even mentioning him, does that not "give him power"? Again with the contradicting of yourselves. 2. Keep in mind that some of us were not 'led astray', most of us 'steered away'.
I dont mean to sound ranty or bitchy, but this isnt a difficult concept to comprehend. Most of my Christian friends understand and they dont sit there telling me I am going to hell because I dont believe in their god. My Islamic friends dont call me an 'infidel' because I dont believ in Allah. It doesnt make any sense to me that some Christians will treat me like crap, spit on me, and tell me I am going to hell....all in the name of saving my soul? Im sorry, but their whole system sounds like terrorism to me....

To Niki, it is very improtant for one to separate a religion, from its followers......
Anyway, I'm a Christian. I'm bisexual also. I don't think that most of the people that are christians (or rather the one's who use it for terrible things *cough**cough*the crusades*cough*) fully depict what they should. I was reluctant to give my life to Christ because fo them but i realized that they fdont' matter in my belief. Running around saying "God hates homosexuals!!!" isn't my thing because God is The Only Judge to me...............
As for your infactuation with things having to do with Satan, I don't think that's a huge deal because no one really knws what or who Satan is. I think that maybe you just like how you view him. That you like what you see him as...........which I don't really see as "evil" (an over-used word here in America).
Also, America does have laws over freedom of speech, but those laws still will not cotrol people. These laws will not stop people from being homophobes just as law will not stop murderers. Maybe one of the propblems with America is that we are indeed "too free"?
Like morty said, your description basically states you as an anti-christ, but so are alot of peope, as you've seen from the responses in this topic. We all have a belief system that suits us best, I will not judge you for that.
Perhaps the people who try to tel us that their religion is better than ours do it because they are trying to cnvince themselves that they have found the answer. But then again who truly knows what's right and wrong?
Out of curiousity: when did you become interested in Satan? as a child? has it growom since then?
