its basically us saying sorry,
I'm afraid I don't see it like that.
To be frank, it comes off as arrogant. For a start, you don't actually show that you care about us. You haven't taken the time to get to know any of us. You haven't shown the most basic elements of care for anyone here.
This is why this is uncaring:
You assume that as a Pagan guild, we don't get along with Christians as a group.
If you had cared about us as individuals, you would have read through our posts and invested time in helping us as individuals find Christ. Instead, you're actually showing that not only do you not wish to invest time in us and help us, that you have no respect for the word you gave to Gaia's creators by breaking the terms of service. That disinterest in us as people, with our own feelings and thoughts, is contrary to actually caring for someone.
Secondly, you're showing a lot of prejudice. The overwhelming number of posters in this guild have no issue with Christians. Some of our most active members tend to Christians. Some of our most active members are Christians. You have judged us, simply for the name of the guild, as being at odds with Christendom. We aren't. That prejudice is contrary to actually caring for someone.
Thirdly, it speaks of arrogance. Do you sincerely believe that none of us have ever heard of Yeshua? Of YHVH? Of those religious traditions? We aren't ignorant. We're only now starting to see children being born into pagan families. Most people here were raised in Christian households. That arrogance is contrary to actually caring for someone.

check it out if you want to understand.
I have. I was not impressed. Mostly because the scholarship of the site is poor. It constructs a strawman.
I dislike how you are treating others, yes. I feel like you have mistreated us as individuals and shown a great deal of disrespect.

and what im doing is kind of weird,
Not really. It's all too common actually.
This directly contradicts your claims that you cared.

because i feel like i need to do it. dunno why, but i do
My suspicion is that you are acting as you believe is appropriate within the tenants of your faith.
The problem is that your actions are no more thoughtful and considerate than those of the people you "apologize" for on your site. It's just as intrusive, apathetic and aloof.
Now- would you like to engage in a sincere discussion about the spiritual divergences of Christendom and it's relation to the commandments your god issued you? Because I am happy to oblige, but out of care and respect, I expect you to post thoughtfully, to be considerate of others and to avoid indulging unsupported opinions.
It seems like it would be good to examine the website you are posting to others and your own relationship to spiritual wellbeing and scripture.
