why did the christians?

Man! There are so many things said that I want to comment on....I'm not sure I can remember them all.

Well, let's see....first of all, magick isn't evil or a sin even in the Christian perspective. King Solomon was a wizard, angels even have their own type of magick, the angel I talk to actually suggests spells for me to do, and Jesus was a wizard, too.

The part in the King James version of the bible that says that you shouldn't suffer a witch to live (I have heard) actually was changed to "witch" from "poisoner".

During the Dark Ages, the Church put out a new version of the Bible that removed references to mysticism, reincarnation, some of the works of Jesus and several full books.

Next, the idea of Christianity is not to end all other religions. That was never ever ever ever the plan.

Is it? Doing my own research i have found much of what is in the bible was taken from Pagan religions. All of the Christian holidays traditions was pagan traditions. Thats why eggs are part of Easter it has nothing to do with Jesus because it was all pagan. They want nothing but to enslave everyone. Nothing is spiritual about that religion i was raised catholic. It teaches self hate and put restrictions on everything someone does. They are responsible for the most hanious of crimes and yet none have called them out on it. Even the bible is filled with blood. Tons of sacrifices and slaughtering of innocents. There even is a passage where the supposedly "careing god" orders babies to be slammed against the wall. It's time poeple step out into the light of reason.

Wow people. First of all, the bible itself has been changed throughout history. Secondly, who are any of us to judge another religion. The whole idea of having a religion is something to put your "faith" in. Yes Christians have done horrible things throughout time. So have other religions. None are perfect, and all are based on "stories" or word of mouth. I could go through all the history books and point out a person from each religion that has done something terrible. Does that make the belief itself wrong? No.

Learn to let others believe as they wish. People do not seem to understand that when they bash others religions, they are acting just as bad. Rise above the hate that mankind has been spewing for its entire existence. Learn to love your fellow man regardless of views or beliefs. Truthfully this is the only way we will learn to get past it all.

They still do these bad things. Bad things is dumbing down the crimes they committed. They have not been held responsible for there injustice. Instead they turn around and blame us. They constantly put people down and force their beliefs on others. When someone goes against the evil they have done they are suddenly the bad guys. Have you seen Buddists do unspeakable things? Have you seen Wiccans do unspeakable things? There are some people that do drift off the path. But when you have most of the church that is when its more then just extremists. The slaughter of countless number of people must be accounted for. They still rape small boys but they just started to fire priests. Before they just moved them to do it again. When most of the bible is about killing the Gentiles (us) and treating them like dogs it doesn't matter how many times its been rewritten. A few mistakes is natural but when most of it is evil and corrupt it isn't just a mistake.

Buddhism is more of a view or lifepath then a religion ;)

I have seen people that call themselves wiccan and pretty much every other religion do unspeakable things. Grow up and stop bashing other beliefs. By doing so your making Satanists look bad Sun. Not all people of any religion are bad. >.>

You must look deeper in what they did and what they believe. All of the bible was stolen from Pagans there is nothing original. There is nothing spiritual about that religion. It is nothing but restrictions and lies. Why do you think theres countless books in the Vatican locked away? Why you think they ban books and knowledge? Why you think they control most of the wealth in the world? It is all about control of the Gentiles (us). They hide the truth and punish all who try to find it. Fear is how tyrants control and all Christianity is fear. Follow me or burn in a lake of fire forever. While people suffer and go hungry the "charitable" Church just get bigger and more elaborate churches. I am not bashing on a religion for it is not a religion. When one takes the spiritual doctrines of others and twists it, it is nothing more then a way to get power. There is nothing but a void in those pews.

I don't even think most of the Christians remember torturing Pagans. Generally when Christians go to sermon. They talk about things like how nobody is praying enough, sin, or how your going to burn into a never ending Hell if we all don't believe in a myth about a guy named Jesus who has no proof of ever existing except a book, called The Bible and for some odd reason people tend to take whatever is in the Bible as fact when it has no author published on the front, no date of the exact year it was written, and contains almost no historical fact except for showing the morals and attitude towards women from the time period it was created in. I will tell you the only thing Christians usually remember about Pagans is their own made up rumors that Pagans worship the devil and that The Ten Commandments bans Witchcraft. It's really dumb because they tend to only talk about the best aspects of themselves and talk about how people can supposedly serve God. My family is Christian so I am sometimes forced, or guilted into going to church. One time I went to help out for Vacation Bible School, not because I believed it but because I thought it would be fun at the time. This was before I was Wiccan and had gotten out of the whole thing Christianity thing. I sat there and watched the Pastor tell all the four and five year old children to spread Christianity around the schools and that if they got in trouble with the principal to pray to Jesus to get them out of it. It was ridiculous these children were learning at as young as four of five that Christianity was the only acceptable religion and that's why the treat other religions like they're evil because they learn at an early age that you have to spread the so called word of God to everyone in order to save them from an everlasting fire. Hope this helps. If you want to hear more joradke mail me because I don't want to accidentally offend any Christian Wiccans who are on the forums, which I already probably have done. I mean no offense to anyone by posting this.
