| Something that was said by Ghandi: "I really like your Christ, I just don't care for his followers".
There is an interesting article in the book, Between Two Worlds, that was written by a Lutheran Pastor who is also a witch. She stated that Christians live for the second coming and have been disappointed every day for the past two thousand years. She said that when you start questioning the truth of your faith, the best way to reassure yourself is to seek or convert others to your way of belief, that way you find comfort that you are not alone.
A great, now deceased modern philosopher said: "One person who believes a thing is a considered a madman, ten are considered a cult and a million are a religion".
My personal belief? Jesus was a most excellent witch and alchemist. | |

| Very much agreeing with Ari. I have no problem with Jesus or the Christian God, if you want to worship him, fine with me. But Christians have this nasty way of forcing their beliefs on others by threats, and outright slaughter.. this does not sit so well with me. | |

| OK, I have to agree with you both there. I think it's kind of dumb some of the beliefs Christians have, but again, to each his own! This is one of the reasons I dislike going to "church" with my parents. They try to push their beliefs on you! It drives me nuts! Anyway, I'm done with my rant now LOL! | |
