People disagree and it constitutes a witch hunt? Hun, your college is pretty much the safest place to be if you're non-Christian anything. You love us because you're pagan, and I love you because I'm a Christian. Pagan isn't a slur, nor should Christian be. By the way, I've never read the part that says we should kill witches. In fact during Salem it was the Christians getting them off on non-lethal punishments (excommunication, banishment, jail) and the local govts doing the burning. Don't let them get you down. I've lost and gained friends for being Christian, and you'll find much more love when you remember that Christ loved women, and all sinners, urging his followers to do the same. Don't let them embitter you against Christ's followers, so called or otherwise. We have enough trouble with them, and I've learned killing with kindness is the best response...
i know miho, i'm just getting so fed up with all the people who thing the way i just described. see, you get it. you understand what God meant in the bible. i'm talking about the people who don't.
I think one of the main reasons that there are so many jackasses who call themselves christian isnt because that religion draws them, but because it is the most popular one. so like 1% of pagans may be assholes to, but thats a shit ton less ppl than 1% of christians. I dunno why that popped into my head. But yeah, i definately know what you mean. just wanting the whole live and let live thing, you know, where you are cool with them and their thing, and just want the same from them. and oh PS--the original old testament verse before it got all mangled by modern translations was actually talking about on overtly evil/malicious person, which got translated to witch later, and it also said "amoung you" So, originally, it was basically saying don't let people who do intentionally harm and cause pain to live with you, cast them out. Yay for being raised baptist and being taught all the uber old stuff :-)
not that it matters what the real meaning is, because people use anything they can to justify their actions/beliefs so... but it is fun to shove things like that in people's faces when they go quoting stuff with their noses in the air
there are also a ton of others, like in Genesis it never actually says the snake was the devil, ever, that is just assumed, and lots of other crap like that. but hey, whats the fun of organized religion if you can't make up the rules as you go ;-)

That's a compliment, by the way.
