As a Pagan/Wiccan I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents......for what it's worth.
As for me hating or being phobic about Christians.....not true. If anything they hate ME......and anyone else that doesn't follow their line about Jesus saving you and all that stuff. I love my parents, my kids, and my friends; pay my taxes and work......does that make me a bad person? No. According to the Christian folks it still does, though--just because Christ isn't "in my life". Nice, huh?
And, as for the Church needing money: I can see that. But if Christ is in your heart, your mind and your soul, what's he doing in your wallet? Can't you have someplace (besides a fancy building and all those trappings) where you can do "church stuff" without all the overhead? Christ did that....with the clothes on His back and the good welfare of others. See? Problem solved. Your house=little overhead. Winchester Cathedral=BIG overhead.
I don't refer to Christians as being "Xtians"......it sounds too "Xtina" to me...or more Science Fiction, actually. What's next? "The Religion that belongs to Christ"? Sheesh! And also as for thinking how Christians pray, think, etc., I was raised Roman Catholic, so I have a good working of it. I became "fallen" when I wanted to have more of a say in a Church that views women as the Silent Majority, and won't let you do much, if anything. THAT'S why I left.
So no, I DON'T hate Christians. If I did, I'd hate my parents, my siblings, extended family, and folks I don't know.......and THAT would be ignorant.
Again, my 2 cents. |
