Perssonaly youre not providing facts youre providing opinions, the only things you stated in that post that was a fact was that archeologists and historians use the bible to discover sites, they would not use the bible as a cultural or historical record sense the bible is jaded and has a huge christain twist to it, for eevry city that fell, god was behind it, for every religion that faded away, go was purging the world of evil and so on


I hate to say that you are wrong, but historians do regard the Bible as a cultural and historical record. There are many truths about culture and history written in the Bible that are accepted as FACT by historians world wide and isn't even debated about any more.

I can see how some of the points can be misunderstood as "Opinion" But they all do carry weight of truth behind them. I'm not just posting these points as a, 'this is what I believe the Bible has done.' But there are many who would rise up to the contrary. And if this really does break down to just a matter of opinion, what would then make yours more reliable than mine? Since opinion holds no weight, your comments would be no more right or wrong on the matter than my own, yet because I have ended with a different conclusion from my studies than you, it is automatically wrong and hence has no weight.

Bottom line is I new I was going to get comments back like this. I will say no more on the matter, but it seems to me that you are quick to fling out a, "Just an opinion" label without truly coming up with solid, valid arguments to overturn these points. Points which have been concluded by very intelligent people, with PHD's, who have spent a lifetime of study on the subject.

I mean no disrespect, and am not angry, but I do feel a little insulted by how your bigotry towards christians, in general clouds your judgment. And how you still clump us all together into one stereotype and attack that stereotype over the points we make.

OMG OMG OMG The ignorance burns my eyes out >.O



1 - The KJ version of the bible has been modified in several ways. The first one I ever learned about was the commendment "Thou shalt not kill" ... I soon learned that the original text reads "Thou shalt not murder". Yes, there is a difference between killing and murder. There are many other alterations, but I will let you do some research (assuming you know how... your post doesn't show much hope for this assumption though)

** The bible says to remember the sabath day and to keep it holy... Too bad for christians, the sabath day is Saturday not Sunday.

2- Satanism is NOT devil worship. Satanism is the religion (or "cult" depending on how you view it) of self-worship. Do not EVER speak illy of a religion you do not understand. Do some research, talk to people of other faiths, don't make broad assumptions that were handed down to you from other ignorant people. I was raised to believe this, but one of my friend's is satanic and she has told me all of the misconceptions and stereotypes christians have made up

3- Gays are wrong? This is just moronic. Your God MADE them that way. Since you believe all people are creations of God, a gift from above, blah blah... We are "made in God's image" so if he made gay people then well, God must be a little gay himself. Or you can go with the other approach of You're a god-damned christian so do your christian duty and stop judging these people. Just because they're homosexual does not give you the right to judge them. Last time I checked, being gay wasn't against neither the ten commandments nor the seven deadly sins... however, judging people is.

4- The bible is real - yes, I will give you that much. There are thousands of copies owned in churches, bookstores, homes etc... And, the bible is one of the BEST pieces of Fiction I have ever read. It deals with Incest, murder, sacrificing animals, sacrificing first borns, people invoking the wrath of an imaginary diety, I could go on for days about all the amazing things in it... but that doesn't mean it actually happened. Look at things logically. It takes sperm and egg to make a baby. Either Mary and Joseph had sex and didn't want to tell anyone, or Mary was a whore. Either way, she could not have possibly had a baby without sperm.

5- Celtics Trinity Symbol - I will admit, I do not know anything about the celtic ways. I don't know what their symbol stands for, nor what it means to those people or what they believe in. However, I do know that Christianity has "borrowed" a lot of holidays, and that the "evil" pentacle of the wicca religion was once utilized by Christians.

6- Witches - Actually, "witches" as you call them, are a lot less evil than your religion. Your religion speaks of a god who is tempermental and ridden with the PMS. When he gets mad, he floods the world, he sends plagues on egypt, destroys Sodom and Gomorrah with brimstone and fire, refuses produce offerings and accepts animal offerings thus raging Caine and causing him to kill Able. Oh, and lets not forget that he sent his own damn son to be murdered. =/

On the flip side, "Witches" believe in harming nothing. Believe what you do comes back on you three fold (the law of three)... They believe in trying to live harmoniously with Nature and Earth. Their beliefs are peaceful. Again, don't down talk a religion unless you have studied that religion.

Personally, I believe that Christians have a fierce deity that seems very man-made with a lot of errors and flaw to his word. He contradicts himself, does horrible things, expects people to do exactly as he wishes, though he gives you free choice... but if you utilize your free choice and go against him, you get cast into hell along with everyone who did not follow in the light of God. As well as you will be "tortured" by Lucifer, Satan, The Devil, Beelzebub, Great Dragon, Old Serpent, whatever you like to call him.

Riddle me this Batman, why is it that Lucifer will torture you for going against his enemy? Christians believe if you do not walk with God, you walk with Satan... So why would Satan turn on his people? If anything, he would treat them well and build his army for the great war that is doomed to happen if the bible's tale is real.

Along that, Two of the most peaceful men ever born on this earth are sitting in hell right next to Lucifer, according to Christian doctrine. Gandhi and Buddha. They are in hell according to the doctrines of the christian religion, because they were not christian, they did not accept the christian faith, they did not accept jesus christ as their lord and savior and they did not believe he died for their sins... so they are in hell, despite the amazing lives they lived.

I would much rather live my life well, happy, honest, and peaceful without a god, than admit that an egotistical ghost is real and that the son he sent to be murdered died for me when I hadn't been anywhere near born at that time.

You cannot see how we disbelieve in your God right? most Christians will argue til they're blue in the face that non-christians must be blind to not believe in something that is so obvious to the christians. Well, let's put it this way.

Do you believe in the Greek gods/goddesses? What about the roman's? Wiccan? well, when you come to understand why you disbelieve in those deities, you will understand why many do not believe in yours.

My final note. Everyone is free to believe in whatever they want to believe in. Everyone needs religion of some sort. Even Atheists need Christianity so they can disbelieve. Religion gives everyone explanation and reason to things that they cannot understand or explain. It is a security blanket that gives us comfort in knowing there's a reason for our existence. It doesn't matter what that religion is, they all believe in something.

The bad thing about Christianity is that even Christians cannot agree on a "proper" way to worship, so you have segregated yourselves into denominations instead of working together to worship together.

Do not EVER say this or that about a religion unless you have participated in that religion or studied it thoroughly. It is so offensive to the people you're talking down on, and it makes you look very stupid, and you're leaving a bad impression of your fellow believers.

Many Christians are not brainwashed, many of them are very tolerant, many of them are very open and accepting of others who are of a different faith or lifestyle. These poor people are generalized with ignorant morons like the OP of this thread.

Christianity is about Toleration and Acceptance. You're taught to love your neighbor... sadly, many cannot and do not follow their bibles thoroughly.

In the words of Gandhi
"I do not dislike your christ, I like your christ, but your christians are unlike your christ."

This post is for you Sheagorath_The_MadGod and no one else:
Lets start with Kemetism...so is this religion just a combination, of everything. This is what I've found on that religion:
Kemetism is a term for neopagan revivals of Ancient Egyptian religion which developed in the United States from the 1970s. There are three main groups, each of which take a different approach to their beliefs, ranging from eclectic to polytheistic reconstructionist.
And you call my friend a cherry picker? That religion cherry picks everything...every magical religion. There are three different things in that "religion"
Neopagans...worship the horned god and goddess. We are not neopagans...we hate them. Even thought we aren't suppose to we do. Why do you get your words so mixed up. You say one thing and then go back and say it again. Go read your post...Bast is the cat Goddess of Egypt. Just in case you wanted to know. Egypt and Greek are two different things. That means they can have the different Goddess but they can have similar powers. Bast is sex, happiness, weed, music, and she's motherly...look it up. Just because she has a Greek name doesn't mean she's Greek!!!!

Here a website for you: http://www.catanna.com/bast.htm
That is just a simple one...go look up more, plz

Also for you enjoy ment try this one, it has Bast also:
http://paganwiccan.about.com/od/godsandgoddesses/Gods_and_Goddesses_Found_in_Paganism_and_Wicca.htm

What next....This is not an anime, there are no wiccans that can flood half of the world without the help of a God or Goddess....Diety. There are many wiccans that can USE!!!! Water and other elements..and ppl say use because they don't want to go all lauguage on other ppl. Don't question a person without going back and reading your post. I read it all over and you without even knowing said she was right.
P.S.
Never....never...ever..piss off Bast...she's not a very nice kitty at times. Oh yea...btw we can talk to them. We have that power. If you wish to aruge go ahead. "ALL" (As in three wiccans, who know what they are talking about) of us have more to say!!!

What is your religion btw???? And explain in full post, who the gifted are.
PostPosted: Mon Sep 28, 2009 4:56 pm


i conceed youre description of kemetism though you saying that it is actually just a big mix of religions kinda startled me and im not stupid i know all of what you said there, though my wording in the other posst may have painted me as ignorant or misinformed i am far from that

NEOPAGAN is the term that refers to anyone who practices a religion that has been rivived or derived from an ancient religon (i may be wrong but thats what ive peiced together and figured out so far)

I said that Bast was an egyptian godess I NEVER said that she was greek, i did say that she had a name that the greeks gave her later on (most of the gods and godess of egypt had there names changed by diffrent cultures)
And once agin im not stupid, my religion worships cats to so it was no suprise that i found a fasination with Bast also bast did not used to be the whole itty thingy she is today, she actually used to be like the other half human half feline godess or so ive been told

Of course they cant, there probably pure blooded humans and so they would have no chance at doing that, even for a full non human that would be impossible, as to you talking to youre gods and godess, that i can believe sense humans have the ability to use magic that has its source at a diety and communicate with certain gods and godess

My religion is of no concern to you stare
as to the gifted , they are the people who have a Refugee anscestor, these people used to be more numerous before the Hunters were formed. The gifted will be extinct by the year 2013 if all goes for the best sense there numbers have dwindeld to a mere 19 (one died on saturday)

The Bible is the word of God and our "Sword" with which to fight against the enemy however has anyone noticed and felt that there bibles have well been watered down or seeming to not connect you to God as much? or is it just me?

well i believe i have the why if you have apparently over the last 20-50 years organizations have been slowly changing the bible by cutting, or taking out, or replacing and adding to the bible all types like (NIV,NKJ, new translation, one world , etc ...except for the king james) no i am not one of those oh my KJ is the only correct version people and this isn't a scam either i was watching a seminar on New AGE and well the woman doing the dvd showed how all versions were missing scripture except the king james why i don't know but it is true for example
all other versions had this:

"No man shall live by bread alone"

how ever the actual scripture is:

"No man shall live by bread alone but threw the word that is God"

Serieouly i had NKJ and i checked every scripture this woman said and it is getting worse one of my scriptures even reffered to Jesus Christ as Sir...Sir this is horrible they are demoting Jesus Christ and they are even taking out Christ just saying Jesus that is it they are also changing words which change meanings. and adding things like instead of Jesus just Him who is him they are making it more tolerent. the bible is not tolerent...it is really bad so check your Bibles go for KJ for it hasn't a been changed yet. this group also uses symbols like this
http://okaycity.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/celtic_trinity.JPG
i know it was suppost to mean trinity well if you look at each circle thing it is a 6 just look at it you will see it it is the unholy trinity and well it is all getting worse just be careful they are attacking the word our only offensive weapon they are dulling it down and it is getting worse.


King James isn't complete. It's missing three (or is it eleven?) books.

So far you've been looking up bits and peices of information and you don't even know.
NEOPEGANS! If you will just read is a religion that is in other words a modern religion that think the olden ways are ignorante and of no use thats why I really dont like them.
You have been saying in one of your post don't jump into a religion with your friends or take information in them or CHERRY PICK information that is what you are doing my dear.
Now we are back to BAST I worship and am a loyal daughter of this goddess and it just discuss me that you don't even know the whole picture about her. Yet you say your religion worship cats which is still unknown.
And yet you continue to talk about the hunters so openly wow you really dont know much the hunters as you say still exsist but yet for someone one who is doing magic you are really complimenting them in a way of love. HUNTERS ARE OUR ENEMIES! Then they are not that gifted believe me my wiccan mom should know. And the gifted ones they are.....with high spiritual power O.o not blasting things and going off like a bad dragonball z episode.

Tell you what if you want to be proven right to all three of us give me real information and not your so called wiccan friends,what you've heard from other people or what other people have said.Sweety everyone is not right unless you have been reading book in your mothers stomach stare Give us proof and wow here is a thought research!

Lol, you are all silly. You know the dead sea scrolls? They speak of the trinity! The father son and holy spirit! So go rad a history book. And persicution would mean the attacking or dstruction of a gruop, do you see christians going out a killing gays or beating them up or tearing down there stuff? NO now we do argue and say it is bad but how can you say that is wrong of us when you sit here and do the same thing to christianity, and yes it is a weapon and our enemy Satan. A duhhhhh who else?

As for the bible it has been translated and some words changed yes but they mean the same thing. In revalations it says that if any many trys to add or take away from this book that they will be punished. I od not elive that God would allow this to happen to us because he said he wouldn't? You may ask well how do you know that that wasn't added, this simple fact says it all to me, I trust the Lord my God and know he would not let his lambs go through this he would keep it clean and if it where changed in a dramatic sense her would tell us in our hearts. Thats my opinion and we are all entitled to our own. And this is my opinion as yours is yours so if you disagree with me and post about how this is stupid or I am stupid, I really don't care because I know in my heart what is right!
belief isn't saying you think something is real even when it's not there.
Believing is knowing something is real when it's not there. If you truly believe you have no doubt. Talk to God and ask him about the bible and let him talk to you. That is the best advice I can give. Just talk to the Lord.

That is just fine you can believe in your god all you feel like im not going to tell you you cant. All i am going to say is that most Christians do attack other people...especially gays....why do you think gay people cant get married???? Just because it goes against your little pety religion. I have personally been tortured by numorous Christians for being a Wiccan and beign gay. So before you say that all Christians are good and they would never do that....ask around....I know hundreds of people that have had the same done to them.

Look I think If people really want to be Gay fine be gay (I don't really understand why but i really don't care about your sexuality or sexlife!) you shouldn't get specail rights because you are gay , and well all i can say is it was adam and eve not adam and steve and well if you were really ment to be gay (Why can we not reproduce that way) but fine what ever you want to be gay fine but marrage is a state of union and people are even screwing that up today so i don't think it should be between the same sex if 2 of the opposite sex can't make it work all the time anyway look at Divorce rates. Sorry, I would say the bible is pretty clear about it look at sodum and Gemora (they tried the gay thing and what happened God killed them so...um) to answer your question it would appear it is against our religion but it isn't pety. Witch craft and satanisum are not that far apart both are pagen beliefs if you look at history and well
Deuteronomy 18:9-12 "when you come into the and which the ord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to fallow the aominations of those nations
Therefore shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass threw the fire or one who practices witchcraft or soothsayer or who interprets omens or a sorcerer
or one who conjures spells, or a medium or a spiritist or one who calls up the dead
For a who do these things are an abomination of the Lord your God drives them out from befor you"

To answer a previouse question no I am not crazy and yes i do think the "president" is apart of bring about the beginings of revlation but it is people like opera and the massions and witch craf people who are responsible for the bible changes "******** being Tolerent" okay!

Yes i Have been in public and seen santinests and witchcrafters and They make me sick literally like as in if i stay in close courters i toss my cookies so they are not cool in my opion even wiccenisum isn't that far of a cry cause of everything who is it they are getting there power from or praising? sure isn't God or Jesus christ so humm who else would it be? atleast according to previous listed scripture.

Don't be mad i am just saying...

Last time i checked that was spirit guide stuff or what ever astro projections suff (has anyone read Frank Peretti"s This present Darkness or Percing the Darkness ) that crap is Demons People doing that crap is how you get yourself possesed last time i check and don't tell me you dont' I had a friend who did that stuff (I was Sceptical about possesions then) but He was and he scared me and attacked me and his eye were glowing and his voice wasn't human it did happen and All I can say is I ran my a** off okay. Because I was ill equiped to deal with that at the time.
