you are right...we have dealt with that question before...

weeeellllll..... 1)gaia is not a cartoon goddess2)yes she is the mother earththe religion is based upon the understanding of a balance of life(IE: if a creature is wiped out then the whole balance is set off)

personally its not different factors of christianity but just people in the religion(all forms of the religion)
the gaian religion is ancient greek as you probably know gaia is greek for mother earth
and if you wish to have more info on this search the web although there isnt usually much on it soooo.... there ya go if ya have any personal questions the pm me! bye

Do you believe in all of the other Greek Gods???

If I want to worship an earth goddess, I just look in the mirror
but seriously...I have never been fond of the greek or roman pantheon, I tend to be swayed more to the keltic war and dark goddesses aspects...

christians are people, therefore all are different, never forget that

the religon is about an over soul, if ya ever read a walt whitman peom or the grapes of wrath then ya know what it means...

yes..'live and let live' is a nice idea, but it will never happen. people say that they like individuality, and if everyone was the same it would be boring, but then we go out and be prejudiced against anyone who is not like us...for example, not the same religion. around where i live, people wont let their kids play with non-mormons' kids, they tell them to just be civil and leave it at that...this is just one example. and everyone i know who is mormon, they know im not (its so obvious..lol) and of course, i get treated differently. there could be 2 of me, the exact same personality, looks, whatever, except one would be mormon, one wouldnt, and who do you think would have more friends? this doesnt just go for mormonism..this goes for about every denomination of christianity, because of influences in the bible that tell these people to either convert others or stay away...(it also says to not judge but, come on, thats just no fun!)

...mm..i've gone completely off on a tangent here. many apologies..=

i didnt put out anger towards christianity just the certain people in it as i said my friend is an i love im like a brother as well as others its the preachy ones that have no respect for others
and as for my beliefs i'm a very contradicting personality because i've got many views on christianity and satanism (likes n hates both)not to mention the fact that im studying the gaian religion and the gaian religion is based as gaia is mother of all begining mother of the elder gods (zeus eventually related not quite sure how though(still reserching))but anyways love ya all option is the real way!

It seems like everywhere I turn. There is a god worshiping freak who is
trying to press there beliefs on me. Now I am open to other peoples
religion. I'm not an ass and belive my religion is right you have to be wrong
But still they press it on me like there is no tommorow. And I love the ones
who come up to you and in the NICEST WAY tell you that your going to hell
sorry Needed to vent

So you're open to other peoples religion unless they really believe strongly enough in it as to live their lives by it?

Anyone else going to jump in here?

I don't want to have to stay devils advocate

Sure I agree with that, just as long as no one also believes movement from the one god group to the more occult makes you more enlightened like its some elitist group.

I saw the best way to deter christians the other day...
A man was walking around with a cross on...with a horrendous and gory Jesus figure nailed to it, blood and all.
When Bianca, a hard-core christian girl I know, asked about it; he replied: "Hey, you guys started it!! You started worshipping the symbol of your saviors death!!"
This left so many people scratching their heads that they have decided to steer clear of him.

but dear fero...you play the advocate so well, I am just tired of these threads...

Hey red dear, how about merging all the "christian everywhere" threads...please...I'm begging you on my knees...

But I want to use by bible bashing trump card


Next time they try to "save your soul" tell them you believe in the same god as them but you believe he is the creator of the Universe and is all powerful and all knowing and that you're not quite arrogant or egomaniacal enough to think that he might actually need your help in anything and that if they don't stop interfeering in Gods plan for people by trying to convert them then they're going to hell.

Usually works

Hey! That is a good idea!

I agree. I have Born Again friends, and they basically tell me that I'm going to hell.

It pisses the F**** out of me. I hate it. They are so brain washed that they belives jesus shall ride down on a white horse from the clouds and carry them away to heaven, leaving the siners and pagans behind. One despratley wants this to happen before she is 18. WtF? Fanatics scare me.

as well that they should.....
some are kinda tasty though......
if you broil them right....

Philosophy class... Battle between catholic and baptist ...

baptist says catholics have condemned the people of baptist belief to hell.. catholics say no but are proven wrong..

the baptist then turns to me.. tells me I'm going to hell cuz I'm not baptist/christian ..

INTERESTING !

Your name is so appropriate, because you are a walking complex, not to mention with a chip on your shoulder. If you spent half the time you do bashing Christians trying to make yourself a better person, maybe you might accomplish something in you life that give you some real purpose. But quite honestly, I don't hold out much hope for you....
