The Devil never actually existed.
Biggest trick the Devil pulled was to convince people he doesn't exist!
"The Babel fish," ... "Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindboggingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. "The argument goes something like this: 'I refuse to prove that I exist,' says God, 'for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.' "'But,' says Man, 'The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.' "'Oh dear,' says God, 'I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic.
I am not tolerant of other peoples religious beliefs Christianity simply isn't like that, so bigot is fine with me, Jesus is the only way and that will not change. I can already tell you are proud, your pride is what blinds you from the truth, it is said that only the humble will inherit the kingdom of God, i am glad i humbled myself some time ago. I welcome all opposition of my words because I know that truth is on my side.
Well, now we know how deeply and completely you hate Wicca. As a Wiccan myself, I appreciate knowing who has such deep hatred. I know who to avoid and watch carefully in future threads. Hate is such an ugly thing....and wow... there are two full pages of it.

Geeee........... why didn't someone tell me that everything in the bible is true?
Why don't I just come to the OP from now on since he apparently knows everything and knows more than anyone else?

I guess you're referring to yourself and your faithful as being completely controlled by a book.
The USSC is the "final authority" in the US, does that by default mean that we are 'completely controlled' by the USSC??

Oh so paganism was around before the Old testament? I don't think so...
Paganism is not the old religion you say it is, paganism was formed in rebellion to the God of Abraham our true God Yahweh. Moses also exposed the pagan God's as being false when he brought Yahweh's wrath to Egypt...
Actually the earliest known date of the Old Testament being written is about 2100BC.
So Pagans had almost a 3000 year head start on monotheism. Take the Sumerians, the Egyptians, hell any culture before the Hebrews. Paganism was the first form of organized religion which evolved out of stellar worship (i.e. Sun Worship, Lunar Worship, etc).
Your only evidence is your faith, and as long as it leads on the path of truth I can respect that. Just dont preach hate in the name of God,. All paths lead to the same mountain into the loving, forgiving arms of God. “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil." God knows were confused, life is a struggle to understand.

If you were to go by the OP's logic, then yes. Yes it does.
Reductio ad absurdum is a mode of argumentation that seeks to establish a contention by deriving an absurdity from its denial, thus arguing that a thesis must be accepted because its rejection would be untenable. It is a style of reasoning that has been employed throughout the history of mathematics and philosophy from classical antiquity onwards.
Could we for a second consider that Adam and Eve weren't pagan?? Seems to me paganism entered human history after Adam and Eve were given direct revelation of the Creator.

Whoa now.....Back up a second here. If the bible says it's true then it MUST be true. Seriously, the fact that you are hating on another belief, that in of itself is "hypocrisy". I swear I love it when Christians talk about how their way is the only way, and the rest pretty much die in a flaming tub of nonsense. Well let me tell you something Mr OP (Mrs. maybe?) When you spread hatred such as this, it makes your cause look like a wolf wearing sheeps clothing.

First we'd have to consider that Adam and Eve weren't fictional characters in a bed-time story.
