I think that as people not of the Christian path, we should know that calling someone a horrible person based solely off of their religion is a bad thing.

I have some Christian friends who are very accepting of me being pagan in belief. In fact, one of my best friends in the whole world is Christian and she's the one of the nicest people I've ever met. You almost can't be around her and not smile. :)

As Marcassa1 stated, we don't always follow our beliefs 100%. There is good and bad in absolutely everything. The point is now, should we try and be more understanding of other religions so that we can get along better? Yes, I think we should. I know of some Christians on this site who want to learn of the miracles their God has promised to teach them and they are intimidated to speak up about their religion for the same reason most of us Magick folk are afraid to say that we are Magick practitioners in the real world.

Execuse me Marcassa1 but u said about muslims and towers, jews and money!
The christians, muslims, jews all of them are nice people. I can't say they are bad because of their religions.
I've got a christian and two muslims friends. They present what friendship means, me and they respect all the religions and even if they are wrong.
All the people are free, they choose whatever they like, and they don't make us to do what they like.
Am i wrong?

Sorry that my sarcasm doesn't carry. I was making a point that if Christians are _all_ bad then every generalization made about every other religious group must also be true, which of course, it isn't.

My point was that as we generalize other groups we risk being generalized ourselves. So we should be careful making generalizations about all groups.

I do not think that any of the generalizations are true, for the record.

It is easier to look at others and point out flaws then to look in the mirror and point out flaws.

We do not wish to see ourselves as the same as those we speak of, but if you look in the mirror for a bit, for condemning them for being hypocrites, you condemn yourselves.

Most of the major religions have good points. The original ten commandments are a very good example of how to live a good life. Other religions have similar sets of values. But that is not the point of this site! This is Spells Of Magic; anathema to most religions! Most religions are a means of control, "Do as we tell you and you will be rewarded in the next life. If you do not, you will burn in hell." It is all to do with control. (and making a lot of money!).
I am a witch, I do not follow any organised religion.

I agree with Brysing.

Also, isn't it human nature to be hypocratic? Try as we might, we all contradict ourselves.

Brysing, I'd have to count Wicca, and those who follow "threefold law" and "karma" rules as ones under the control of others as well.

As I said, its easier to point at others for their flaws, then point at ourselves.

spellchanter, that one statement shows that you are ridiculously ignorant.

All Christians are bad and we are better than them? How is that any different than a group of Christians saying we are all virgin sacrificing devil worshipers?

Thank you, for pointing out a prime example of hypocrisy. It certainly doesn't follow and stick with any one religious group, as demonstrated here.
