"PATTERSON! YOU PUTRID ABOMINABLE SON OF HELL!!" Zach's stare was firmly locked onto my eyes with metaphorical chains, and tears began pouring from his eyes like a sorrowful cascade. "I can't believe you would actually do this!" Zach began to sob but I somehow knew he felt SORRY for me, I looked at him with a perplexed expression locked onto my face and the only key that could unlock it was the answer to why he was upset, "You're gonna go to Hell, you know that, Alexander James Edward Patterson!!?? Why would you want to curse people and befriend demonic entities? They will send you to eternal suffering ina fiery pit!!"
It took a long pause until I finally realised Zach had most likely discovered my stash of magick books and artefacts, but wasn't open minded enough to take a closer look and see not one of them were evil or demonic (my artefacts of demon sorcery is in my room) "Zach not all witchcraft is evil, the bible is just a book! There's..."
"THE BIBLE KNOWS THAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE HEADED FOR HELL FOR YOUR SINS!!" Zach shouted so loudly it wasa nearly deafaning. Zach stormed towards where his coat was hung,
"Where are you going?" I asked.
He halted and slowly faced me with a sympathetic expression in his eyes,
"When I leave, trust me that you must turn from the devil's craft and follow the path of reighteousnes!"
Why did Zach cry? Because he wished to save me from the 'wrath of Satan' if you read my bio you'll see that he dislikes me now because I practice witchcraft, that was a moment form when he discovered my magick stash (I edited it a bit to make it more like a story though). People who say stuff like "if you're a witch then you'll go to Hell because the bible says so" are just trying to do the right thing. You have to respect them for that! Poeple who say "You're going to Hell because you're not Christian" they're just aggrivating people who do not respect other people's beliefs.
Everyone should respect others' beliefs and stop judging those that differ from them. To insult someone based on their religion/general beliefs is the most painful place to hit, since that is the substance that quite often composes one's inner core. You may feel in your heart that you are right, which is great! But remember that if others felt that kind of inner peace in accordance to your religion, the world would have had a much easier time settling on a belief-system... Yours! Yup, others DO feel as comfortable as you in their OWN core-composition, so please stop judging, people!... Peace all :)
i used to be an atheist ones myself until i got interested in occultism and mysticism from there i got to polytheism and then unto jewish henotheism..none shall be yelled on if they had not known the truth..and the whole hell thing is misunderstood..the underworld is jusj a place of purification (all thou some remain there for all eternity until the day of the Ragnarok in which they will be ruserrected)
Including that religion shouldn't be judged, and if you judge it, it's horrible. I mean, if you say, "Oh, Christianity? That's pretty cool." or "Buddhaism? Awesome!", that's fine, but just... insulting it... that's far from evil, that's like... worldwide terrorism. Culture insultments. Prejudice. Even seems racist to me!
I posted this up because I wanted to see if anybody had this problem, and boy, ALOT of you do...
I'm not trying disturb your post, but Christians/Catholics/Muslims/Atheists/etc...,
they all in a way fight with each other, I personally
have gotten into arguments with MANY Atheists, Catholics, and Muslims(no offense). So Atheists aren't just the only people getting into fights/arguments. It's human nature to argue, especially over something that people believe in strongly, like religion. So if you go to a Christian or Catholic web site telling people your Atheist, you should kind of expect to get into an argument, but Tails_T I agree with you on this "It's fine to think that they're choosing the wrong path, but you don't yell it to their face. For all you know, YOU could be choosing the wrong path. We could all be going a wrong way. I mean, there's over 100 religions in the world, even science technically, one of them's bound to be real..."
your views on religion are interesting, but you have to remember why their is religion first. It simply exists so people can feel special! Although you have to look back at the past and remember that religion was also good for keeping people together, together against other people. PLUS it kept the women in check! *rolls eyes* I guess people also liked the idea of the promise of an after life. Not all religions are bad thou, My brother is Buddhist and he's such an open minded laid back guy. :)
Hello Tails! To a voice my opinion I know I am going to end up getting yelled at by someone or hated but my opinion is my opinion and express it I must. I am a Christian and yes I practice magick. I consider myself an old Christian, a Christian before Baptist, Methodist, Catholic and all that was created. Yes I believe there is only one God and if you do not believe in Him you go to hell but that is my opinion and I am not forcing it on anyone. I also believe that how could God have created the Earth without Magick? That is my opinion. Please do not use my opinion to start a fight for it is mealy an opinion and nothing more. Thank you all for taking your time to read this. Au Revoir my friend Tails.
