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.
First we'd have to consider that Adam and Eve weren't fictional characters in a bed-time story.
Been there, done that for the first 30 or so years of my life.
We define good or bad in relation to the Bible and the Bible ALONE. The Bible is our FINAL AUTHORITY.
Well thank you op i love your type of people, the crazy right, hate others just because they are different people.

Yes i did along with all of the comments. He proposed hate for the people, people like this him, were the ones who killed my line of genetic makeup almost completely obliterating them, or save few were not.

The Devil never actually existed.
Biggest trick the Devil pulled was to convince people he doesn't exist!
Lamest word play ever invented by the Church.
We don't need a made up being to justify the evil things we do.

Research is grand, why don't you put a little effort into the real facts? Christianity is based on paganism. Moreover, your post OP would be like me saying that all Roman Catholics are murderers since they almost wiped out my ancestors.
Last time I checked, religious hatred, spreading hatred and religious discrimination are illegal in every major country of the world!
Your god promised no more floods, my gods promised no more giants... I don't see any giants.
I respectfully ask the MODS to please move this entire thread to HOAX!

Yet I am not. When people like you tell me I deserve hell, because I don't believe in your spooky man in the sky, or your silly little book. When i come across people like you it disgust me, how can there still be bigots in an age of Nuclear power, and space exploration. My guess is you'll have a heart attack, and die, when (when not if) we meet Extraterrestrials. Just because i know it will piss you off, i think I'm going to go buy a bible, and use it for toilet paper. No wait better yet I'm going to get an angel costume, then make a name tag with, The Morning Star, and wear it to work on Halloween the most important Wiccan holiday. You should really watch the movie Dogma, George Carlin plays a great Cardinal. Christians who interpret that book as fact are hilarious.

The Bible is not an authority on anything. Its a collection of fairy tales written by human beings.
If your "one true God" wanted to leave his (or her...or its) word behind for people to study, he should have left it in a less retarded manner. He could have created an indestructible element and fashioned his "word" across its pages. He could have written his "word" on this indestructible element in every language that mankind has ever spoken, or will ever speak, and he could have left copies scattered in temples he erected all over the world. He could have set super-magical guardians over said temples to make sure no mortal ever destroys them, and he could have made sure every person had the chance to read them.
Did he do any of this? No? Why? Because your book of fairy tales was written by human beings.
He actually didn't have to write a book at all. As every human being reaches their respective "age of understanding," he could have simply uploaded his "word" into the mind of each living individual. Doing anything like these examples would have left no doubts as to who was doing it.
Did Yahweh do this? No? Why? Because "God" is a concept created by human beings. The Bible was written by human beings.
Hypothetically, let's say Yahweh does exist. Let us also agree that Yahweh is omniscient. Then this being Yahweh would have known, that over time, languages change and evolve. This makes trying to decipher the meaning of ancient texts tediously difficult. If Yahweh decided to reveal his word to only a handful of men, and have them copy down his story as the guidebook of mankind, knowing fully that 2000 years into the future people would argue over his meaning...then Yahweh is retarded. No intelligent being would ever record a message the way Yahweh is purported to.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Yahweh has down-syndrome, and all the other Gods decided to let him play around out of pity. Zeus is probably coddling him as we speak.
But seriously, if the basis for your entire post is the Bible, then your entire post is automatically false.

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.edit on 29-10-2011 by Zarxx because: (no reason given)edit on 29-10-2011 by Zarxx because: (no reason given)

What a load of rubbish. Stealing pagan beliefs, changing names and placing them in a bible is where the real evil is at. Everything you do in your belief, from the Son of God to Santa and the christmas tree was stolen from the pagans.
Outdated dark age mentality. Don't you think it's time to join 2011 OP?

Plus why would a recognised religion worship something that by it's very nature does not believe in? Pagans of any belief don't have someone to blame bad things on. They're not that lazy. You lack research OP

The Bible has nothing to do with pagan belief and you know it. I don't celebrate Christmas, it is a pagan celebration. I don't believe in Santa, lol (I hope you don't either, raising my eyebrows at that).

Certainly the OP is not spreading hate, but you are. When you say things like "What a load of rubbish" and make up all kind of stuff about Christianity. Did the OP say anything like that about Wicca? No, he did not. He was ten times more respectful of Wicca than you are of Christianity.

Wake up people, we're not in the dark ages anymore.
