Curious

Orgasmic Shadow

So i've been curious about different religions. i'm Christian and i have been raised in the household to know God and love him. However; a lot of my church friends have called several other religions to be "of the Devil" well i know a few people who are of those different religions and they aren't bad people. In fact, they're a lot nicer than my church friends. So i've been curious, i'd like to learn about the different religions that have been Demonized. Particularly Wicca, that seems to come up in the discussions a lot. Though i have a friend who practices, i'm not able to sit him down and talk due to work getting in the way. So can anyone here help me out???

Oh and if you aren't gonna help me and just sit there and thump bibles all day, don't post, we don't need that clogging up this forum.

I don't know if you're still active or not but if you are interested about the heresy Gnosticism, I'm willing to share.

Huh, this is a first. I've heard of Churches mainly attacking Atheism, but I guess that's just me being ignorant and focusing on Atheism. I sure hope they are actually telling you what their beliefs are (or lack of beliefs). But yeah, there are hundreds of other religions out there, but which are particularly demonized? We have wicca down, but what others? Can you give us a list, so anyone with knowledge of such religion will know to contact you?

i know many denominations that consider almost anything else to be of the devil.

some people despise me because i do not speak in tongues.

others because i have been known to consort with (gasp!) gays.

others because i simply do not adhere to their doctrine.

Examples include Church of Christ, Evangelical Brethren, Seventh Day Baptist, Adventist, and Christian Missionary Alliance.

A local CMA Church refused to join us in a Crop Walk to fight world hunger because by consorting with the rest of us they would become "unequally yoked". The "rest of us" were Free Methodist, Evangelical Free Church, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Baptist, and Lutheran.
