actually whouldnt Christianity be the first religeon since you know God has been around the whole time and hes a Christian

Just to clear things up...

Christianity was not the first religion. A relationship with God was first, this isn't religion. Judaism was among the first (if not the first) documented religions, with all its laws, regulations, etc.

1.Why is Paganism regarded as worshiping the devil?
2. In your opinion is it wrong for me to be in a catholic school when im not catholic?
3.Why do people constantly call it evil?


He says you're not supposed to worship anything other than him. Anything else is a lie of Satan and therefore considered evil and against the will of God. That doesn't change simply because it may offend people.

Yes, I am a non-christian. To clear up the question that will be asked, i am a practicing Pagan. To be more specific i practice Wicca. So the questions i have.
1.Why is Paganism regarded as worshiping the devil?
2. In your opinion is it wrong for me to be in a catholic school when im not catholic?
3.Why do people constantly call it evil?

In darkness you paint us, but we will not hide.
Were light of the country in which you abide,
Were fearless and strong, and protectors of life,
Hidden in the shadows, we conquer all strife


We come from the Old Ones, our linage secure,
We rise from the ashes, we always endure,
Its time you remembered that we were here first,
We healed your sick, yet suffered your worst.


From time immemorial weve women our lore,
Cunning folk, healers, benandanti theres more.
Were black and were white, were brown and were yellow,
Were women and children, and mighty fine fellows.


Were her hidden children, the angels of light,
Our task is to teach and to help set things right.
We conjure and cast, and whisper and pray
So you can enjoy your freedom each day.


Weve long been your army, protecting your back,
When you are in trouble, in secret we act.
The mother is watching she hasnt missed much.
Shes gathered Her magick and given the touch,
To Witches and Pagans and Druids and such!


The times are a changing and one thing is clear
The lord and the lady have now reappeared.
Two pillars, three points, four quarters extend
Five is the number of magickal blend.
By moon and by sun, by earth and by stars
Realize this day that the power is ours!

Pagan pride

Live it, breathe it, be it!

Quite easy to answer all three of your questions;
1. Because it is like praying to the earth, Which is of the Devil himself.
2. Its never wrong to go to a religious school. But You shouldn't be worrying about where you go to school, But where you will go after you die.
3. Because in the Bible Jesus says "If you are not for me, Then you are against me." Which explains everything for you.

Let me just tell you, You will prosper in the life of the Lord rather than relying on something you cannot see and cannot find peace in the after life. If you continue with the life of a witch, your after-life will be in HELL. An eternity of suffering and re-living your painful deaths over and over again....forever.

1. God never says don't worship anything else. He actually says that you shouldn't worship anything before him. You should worship him first and foremost everything else comes dead last.
2. No it's not.
3. Paganism/Wicca is not evil. If you look at the original version of the Bible, the words witch and witchcraft do not exist in Hebrew and Greek. The word however used is poisoner. What's interesting is that you don't have to practice witchcraft to be a witch. All you had to do was have the skill of an apothecary. Apothecaries mixed herbs together and created potions that could either poison someone or heal them. This is was medicine at the time of the Apostles.

Pagans don't worship demons. There are many who stay away from dark things. And they are not deceived by Satan. Satan or Ha-Satan is God's divine prosecutor, an angel in the service of God. Now as we all know, unlike humans, angels have no freewill.

We can tell that the old pagan religions were the first, by looking at history, artifacts, structures, books, written logs, hieroglyphics and other things. Wicca however is a cultivation of both old pagan religions, a new pagan religion called Thelema, along with Masonic and secret societies. Many trad Wicca or Trad Wiccan supporters will tell you that Wicca is a fertility cult that has nothing to do with nature. However there is a new movement called Neo-Wicca which is based on nature.

good but shakey

god cast satin and his (satins) followers from heaven they currently reside in earth

Satin is his name Lucifer was his angelic name (he was the angel of music) he was more beautiful than any other angel and so thought himself better than God... witch is why he was cast out of heaven. He is no longer an angel he is a fallen angel. he has free-will because God granted him that when he damned him to earth. but God said you may test them but dont harm them or you deal with Me.

this is what i was raised on ^^

apart from that Witches are evil...why? Because you are practicing powers that demons grant

Nope. Satin is not evil. Satin is a type of cloth that is soft.

Satan or rather Ha-Satan is not Lucifer. Lucifer is a totally different person. The whole Satan=Lucifer thing came from Paradise Lost by John Milton. The angel being cast out of Heaven isn't Satan but a Babylonian King. Satan isn't some evil vile person, but an adversary of man. He is God's Divine Prosecutor. He is an angel, and like all angels he is a servant of God. Unlike humans he has no free will. A good example would be in the Book of Job.

Satan's job is to try and shake our faith. If we pass his tests then that proves to God that we are worthy of his praise. If we fail then that means our faith is weak. Simple as that.

What you were raised on, was nothing more than fallacies. Sorry, hate to say it, but it would be wise to do more research instead of believing everything you hear.

Witches aren't evil either. As I stated in the original text, the word witch didn't exist. In other words, there is no word for witch in Hebrew and Greek. King James changed the word poisoner to witch because he was superstitious and a misogynist. In other words, he was afraid of the supernatural and of women.

Magic is not good nor evil, nor does it come from Demons. However demonizing others isn't Christ like. As a Christian you are commanded to follow two and only two commandments: Love God and Love thy neighbor. These two commandments are called the Law of Agape. You are not bound to follow the Law of the Prophets or the Mosaic Law. neutral

Well, my friend...
I got to tell you, a few months ago I was bothered with the will to use white and black magic... I wanted to kill my sickness by myself because my patience was over... You know, people who use magic always draw a pentagram first. Do you know what a pentagram means? It's a pact with the devil to let the demons control you, that's why people constantly call it evil... And that's why it's regarded as worshiping the devil... I didn't want to use magic any longer, I felt the pressure of the will to serve God and to be healed by me, God showed me his love when he said to me; 'Why are you so inpatient? Didn't I promised that I'll heal you?' You know, God is way cooler than any magic you know... 3nodding

Call it what you want, but whatever they are, they aren't getting that power from God and therefore it's wrong, evil, and bad. God makes it clear what he thinks about all that and none of it is ever good.

Nice try. But if you love God you wouldn't do things He hates...like putting your trust in idols and magic instead of trusting Him. Why call Him Lord Lord and do not the things He says?(luke 6:46) I really hope you come fully to God and stop making excuses and loopholes for disobediance. You can't serve two masters. (matthew 6:24)
