I am just as confused as you. Wiccans aren't evil they just believe in a different religion than themselves they call them infidels or something.

Hi Cheer Chic, Throughout the history of the Christian faith many millions were killed for not submitting to the church until as recently as 150 years ago when they finally subdued the natives of North and South America. Christians say, but those people werent real Christians, but it was those people who according to present day Christians arent Christians who assembled and put thier Bible together, makes me suspicous of the bible too. Bye for now. Enki  |

Axl the Catholic Church was Christianity up until about the 1600's when a segment of that Catholic church broke away in PROTEST, hence the name protestant. Bye for now. Enki |

Paul,Peter,John,Matthew,etc,etc were Christians.. Did ANY of them kill anyone in the name of God?.. Not as a Christian they didn't..Paul persecute Christians and have them killed though,but that was before he was converted to the righteousness of God..Now..If anyone kills anyone else in the name of Christianity,they are not of God..They have borrowed the name Christian only..Just show me ONE person who follows Christ's teachings who is guilty of killing anyone in His name..People ARE NOT Christians if they do not follow the will of God..God's Word says in 1 Pet 4:15 "For let NONE OF YOU suffer as a murderer"..Rom 13 Thou shall not kill"..Mark 7 1 "Out of the heart of men,evil thoughts proceed,fornications,thefts, MURDERS,adulteries"..Rev 21 "But for the fearful..and the MURDERERS....their part shall be in the lake of fire and brimstone..Now,This is what God teaches.. Now..The people who are accusing true Christians of murdering others can look in God's Word and see that God says "You shall know them by their fruits(works,deeds)"..If their fruits goes against what God teaches then they are not of God..God says those who goes against His will are liars in 1 John 2:3-11..vs 3-4 "Hereby we do know Him IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS..He that says I know Him,and keeps not His commandments is A LIAR and the truth is not in him"..God also says "Beloved,believe not EVERY spirit(person),but prove the spirit(person),whether they be of God,BECAUSE many false prophets are gone out into the world.. Also.."greivious wolves shall enter in among you,...speaking perverse things,...to draw away the disciples after them"..Also "If any man teaches any other doctrine,let him be accursed" How many ways can God say that those who do such things ARE NOT OF HIM?..It is obvious that there has been many who has done deeds against the teachings of God yet they claim to have done their deeds in His name..Do we believe everything we are told?..I don't..Anyone can study God's Word and see that those who has killed in His name,God says they are not of Him..  |

Umm...hello! People have just killed in the name of Islam! It has been 500 years since Christians have killed in the name of their faith! Lets quit holding some feet over the fire! Oh and Hindus have killed christians recently in pakistan over religion. So it isn't only Christians who have done it! It isn't the "only" one! -r1  |

yeah, that has been an ongoing debatable conflict in the words. but it is not the book's fault. it is the mentality of man that does. "God loves marines. he loves marines because we keep him in high supply of fresh souls."- drill instructor from Full Metal Jacket. it is an odd distortion that would connect opposite ends of a badly constructed spectrum. but then again, you show me a man who has all the answers and i'll show you a man locked in a white padded cell. good post. minnow  |

CC you're close minded as well.. SATANISM is not evil or satanic and isn't about worshipping satan or doing anything evil infact it has no god. Make sure you get your facts right instead of having a blind eye. Satanism is infact much more peaceful then christianity because satanism is as much the same as atheism and people those days didn't care because it was a proud thing to do.  |

Um, you learned wrong. Christian's are not the "only ones" who ever killed people for not following their religion. Anyway, you obviously don't understand Satanism because they don't just go around killing people. Religious battle has been going on for centuries.. Christians aren't the "bad guys". Sorry if you believe that. I agree with Steelbird.  |

They are "the only" religion that hasn't killed for following it??? Are you serious? [In] Sulawesi. In 1999, horrific stories about Christian persecution in that part of the world started to leak out. A radical Islamic group called Laskar Jihad was terrorizing Christians in a group of islands called the Moluccas, just east of Sulawesi. Christians who refused to convert to Islam were killed; those who did convert were then separated from their families, given Muslim names, and forcibly circumcised – without anaesthetic, and with dirty instruments. Scissors were used on the adults. They were then told to wash in the sea to disinfect their wounds. The women underwent female genital circumcision. So many religions have done this in the past, and it is still going on now.....Kelly  |

Hi R1, 500 years, now which book did You use to research that. For the record there was a 17 year old killed by his parents and the local minister just a few weeks ago here in Ontario. They believed he was possessed by the devil so they did an exorcism on him. Bye for now. Enki |

Hi baby girl. This is a good debate and you are awfully courageous to post it. : ) Christians are not the only ones who have killed throughout the years for their religion, thats true. But many Christians like to deny that heritage altogether. The fact is that Christians have killed in the name of God and their 'holy book' tells them that is wrong. The word for that is hypocrites and thats what many of them are. But do not lump all in one category because many do try and follow their Gods basic 'laws'. I love you baby girl and I am proud of you for trying to learn. : )  |
