Merry Meet All,
I respect All religion and Beliefs, I have learned the Basic's of most religions, I wanted to Understand....
Asking is a GOOD thing....
Maybe if people centuries ago just ASKED, All the people that were THOUGHT to be WITCH"S would not have been BURNED...
Most of them were just inocents.
And Maybe if people ASKED, the HOLLICAUST may have never happenned!
Don't you all think "IT"S TIME TO JUST ASK??? Before you judge?
Understanding STRETCH"S your heart and makes you BIG inside!
I am happy to answer any questions you may have...
Brightest Blessings to All.

I am sorry as well..
I am a Witch..
I am a kind and gental person, I love my family, I am adopting my 1 and 2 yr. old grand daughters.
I respect others and there way's. I am grounded in nature,
the Earth itself is our life, without her we could not survive.
I try to replace when I can by gardenning, I only pick what I use the rest of my garden I put out as an offering to the Goddess through feeding her animals.I have a bird feeder on my deck just like a lot of you do, and I feed the squirls peanuts every morning, and every morning I am still fasiniated by them as they sit and eat quietly on my deck!
I light candles on my alter and I pray during the day. I pray for myself and humanity.
I am not so different, just not Understood....and that's OK.
Your God was not understood either, thats why they crusified him... out of FEAR!

Okay...why I want to get in another argument on here, I don't know...but here goes anyway. As I've stated many times, although I'm politically conservative, I'm not a particularly religious person. We do not go to church, prayer group, any of that stuff. I read the original post and reply with mild interest, but then after the comment from Melanie it got very nasty. Now Melanie was certainly saying that she thought those thoughts were dangerous ones, but I didn't find her comments all that rude. Certainly no ruder than the comments that have been made on here by itstinkerbeller, kemtee, and others. (sorry kemtee...you know I love you). I guess I don't understand why when christians give THEIR opinions they're bigoted, close-minded people, but when people attack christians they're just "expressing themselves freely". If a muslim or witch posted to a christian thread would you tell them they shouldn't post to it?? Can't have it both ways girls. So I'm not here defending the christian faith, but I am defending melanie's right to express herself.

I don't know Aliadam, much respect but I felt as a "self professed Christian" asking questions that it was condescending. A "what kind of Christian are you?" kind of thing and of course people are going to be offended by that kind of bullying. JMO

I believe it was the condeming tone of Melanie's post. The "good vs. evil." I believe that some of the "Christian" posts are you are with us sounding or you are pure evil sounding. I could be wrong, but that's the vibe I get from it. I don't usually chime in on these things, but I've been reading right along and that's the tone I gathered from it.
Tink was only giving information that was asked of her. She didn't condem anyone elses religions and it wasn't until she felt attacked that she said anything other than to answer some questions that were asked.
Just a thought: If the Christians want to "help save" more people and sway them toward their way of thinking, a softer, gentler approach would be the way. Even Jesus didn't go around yelling, he converted most of his believers with the soft spoken truth. JMO
