    You really make it appear so easy with your presentation but I to find this matter to be actually one thing that I believe I would never understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely vast for me. I am taking a look ahead in your next put up, I’ll try to get the hold of it!

  2. Stop putting Islam a cut above everything, the prophet was a sexual pervert and you follow that man who did all those sexual pumping on every kind of woman and a child. Stop with that holier than thou attitude. You have not accepted the Lord Yahshua and are not saved. You will be judged worse than Sodom and Gomorrah.

    The some people are accusing us moslims of being pagans and believing in the devil etc. When if we look at the history of western people they were the ones who are pagans. I see now much similaritys with the pagans traditions (celtics, greeks etc) and the christian believe. Much of pagans holidays have been adopted from pagan believs. That is why for me the gospel of today has lost it’s value that it had in the beginning. THat is why for me there had to be an upgrade of the real religion.

    we call it guising in Scotland where Halloween started and we used to tell a joke or sing a song for our sweets, also used to go duncing for apples and trying to bite a hot cross bun strung up from the ceiling just above our heads with hands behind our backs.

    @Isacson81 Evilness is the result of all the worng things we do as humans, and all that can be found in any religion, I’m not discussing that, I just say to you that it is unfair to label pagan societies, because of our believes. If wbien closer to nature is evilness for you ok, go ahead believe whatever you want, but be respectful with other religions, that’s something almost everyone need to learn…

    I’m just going to butt into this conversation and say if pagans were satanic because they saraficed people to their gods does that mean the Aztecs were satanic and I’m sure I’m part of the bible I’m a bit rusty so correct me if I’m wrong god wanted some old guy to sarafice his kid or something but in the end he grabs a lamb and slits it’s throat as a sarafice to me that sounds rather pagan, you don’t see Christians slitting lambs throats after they commit a sin, shouldn’t they do that it was in

    Pagans nowadays are just weird. Peaceful and kind, but weird. The Christian Right on the other hand are still intolerant and crazy. I am glad Pagans stopped sacrificing things at altars, but its obvious that they are just Pagans because they hate organized religion but are too cowardly to admit they are Atheists…

  8. its funny how people can look at the things we used to believe thousands of years ago and laugh at how silly they sound…….but then they still go to church and pray to some guy in the sky and think jesus woke up after he died and strolled about town ….
