Hello. I am a proud Pagan and I'm wondering what are your TRUE AND HONEST opinions on Paganism is.

My true and honest opinion is that my heart is saddened for your pride in belonging to deception.:cry: God won't twist anybody's arm to be saved....thus we have all sorts of false teachings....it's really quite sad, but He made us with free will.

My prayer is that the Holy Spirit may touch your heart, that you may decide to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. :prayer:

The why does not God stop this from happening if he wishes us to be saved and enter into Heaven?
. He could. Then everyone would enter heaven without having to choose between good and evil. Unfortunately, He allows evil, so we must choose who we will follow.

First of all, do not be sad for me. I'm not some wiccan. I follow the true religion of my European ancestors and probably yours. Asatru. It's been around some 2,000 years before Christianity.

In fact, almost all Christian holidays and beliefs come from the Nordic belief system because when the Romans started to spread the word of your god, they adapted to our celebrations. I.E. they plopped "Christmas" on Yule and so forth. Christmas trees and santa claus have their roots in Paganism, not Christianity.

But thank you for your prayers. It's just that I choose to follow my gods, whom give me strength.

It's an erroneous belief system created by fallen humans to explain the divine. Which, I imagine, is how you feel about my religion as well.

Don't jump to conclusions. I may follow something different than you, but I certainly do not think of you any lesser because of that.

Well, I do not think of you as a lesser being either. I don't think anyone here believes you are a lesser being. Did my post imply that?

Well if I believe Catholicism is the fullness of religious truth, wouldn't I also believe other religions have some sort of error in them? Levels varying, of course.

Well, if you want to go that route, Christianity probably has the most holes in it's story than any other religion. But lets not get into that.
