Hogwash! And have you seen "Jesus Camp"?
Of all the religions I've tried - - NONE have a healthier environment for children then Mormons.
Most of their churches (wards) even have basketball courts in them. Sometimes you find your sitting on the basketball court for service.

In my opinion these practices make it all the more dangerous. In my opinion there is too much information that is too widely available for people to still be believing bible stories. I hope and estimate that within the next 20-30 years people will stop believing in religions. We shouldn't lie to ourselves or to each other about heaven and angels and hell and worship in order to be nice to each other. We should just all be nice to each other for the benefit of being nice =)

Atheism is the step right before converting to Paganism.

"How Many Share Your Birthday"
If your birthday is any day except February 29, you share your birthday with approximately 1/365 of any population (0.274%).
Therefore, since the world population as of this writing is estimated at 7 billion you share your birthday with over 19 million people around the world (19,178,082).

Do you actually know what Paganism means?
There is no exact definition - - but it basically referred to those outside the city walls - - the low lifes - - the farmers - - those living off the land. The unacceptable. Everyone who was "socially acceptable" belonged to / followed the rulers God belief.
However - - there is Spiritual Atheism. Atheism means ONE thing. Lack of belief in a god. That is all it means. It does not stop any individual from having a belief without a god. My atheism lacks belief in any interpretation of a religious god. I believe all is energy and energy evolved to have a consciousness. I do not consider that god.

I personally don't find anything wrong with atheism or any other path people take with their spiritual beliefs as long as it is not destructive or intolerant of others.

Great! Most people aren't. Most people don't have a clue where it came from or what it really means - - - except what it has evolved to mean in modern times.
Wiccans were the "coolest" people I ever hung out with. Wiccan is actually a newer concept too. Some witches consider it "witch light". Pagan is an umbrella term - - not all witches/Wiccans consider themselves Pagan.
Maybe I jumped in at the wrong time.
Naw - - I thought it was funny. Just had to present clarity for the uninformed.

There is not ONE Antichrist, the Bible clearly states that those who have no belief during the endtimes are ALL Antichrists.
The Bible also states that I am a sinner since my clothes have more than one fabric...don't take books seriously.
