lily it is beyond me, really, I had been forced into paganism as a child and all i have is really bad memories, so I do know a little and the bit I know I don't like, so there Ok so the truth comes out. You had a horrible experience with Paganism as a child and ever since all Paganism to you is considered "satanic" and "of the devil." Well, guess what? I've had some pretty horrible experiences with Christians, Christian churches, and Christianity in general from the time I was a child into my adult life... and you know what? I did the whole thing of lumping all Christians into one basket so to speak for me to hate.... it gets really old after a while. Pretty soon a really great Christian pops their head up every once and a while and makes you rethink why you're hating all Christians. One day you will be asking yourself "Is it worth lumping all Pagans into one basket? Is it worth hating all of them just because a few treated me horribly?" One day you will get there my dear. |

Nevermind, took me a minute to figure out that your 'relationship' was with 'god'.

Just kidding. Have fun doing that. I don't go to church. I am a Christian but churches in my area are out for money so I worship at home. |

I really would like to see a church that isn't asking for money. All churches ask for tithes but tithing is supposed to be a personal choice and is based on how much you can actually do with your financial situation. What I mean by they are out for money is that a lot of churches here actually have set amounts that you have to give. And unfortunately these churches use the money to better the lives of the pastor and the elders rather than use the money for helping the needy. There is one church here where all the members drive cadillacs and wear fancy clothes, yet I knew someone whos family went there, and because he died of AIDS they gave him a homeless persons burial. (you know, the whole unmarked box and grave thing.) That is the kind of thing that goes on here. I have seen churches that actually give their money to good causes. I would love to find one here. |

The way I see it is, in the church, temple or what it is called, it is a non profit organization. I speak for the Pagan / Wiccan Temples out there that I know of, and the UU Churches. They have to have help in some way to keep the doors open for the ones who wish to continue worshipping there, a place to still come too. If they received no monies, they would have no help keeping the place of worship open. Now for other Churches, in which I never in my life attened,like Christian, Baptist etc. I was told they frown upon you if you don't give monies. Or you wont be help by the God if you don't contribute. Now that is not right, but to help out where you worship, I can see, and I understand. Morgages just don't get paid out of thin air, Or Do They..lol J/K BB & MP GeminiGoddess |

You can imagine what you want about me, but unless I actually told you the details you can only guess, and it isn't just one bad experience, and from your attitude I can tell that you are where you belong. Anyone that worship satan is not a good person to me, and if you have a problem with that, that is your problem, not mine |

The titheing was what I was referring to. It seems to be burned into every Christians brain to make sure they tithe. Some churches more than others push the titheing issue more. But I don't think I've come across financial greed within any church as you have. I'm sorry you've had to witness such things. I hope that one day you will find a church that you can call your home church. |

Do you believe I worship Satan just because I practice witchcraft even though I worship the Holy Trinity which I see as Father God, Mother Goddess (the Holy Spirit), and their son Jesus the annointed one? What to you is a Satanists EXACTLY? Give me details... what to you is a Satanist? |
