I have spent most of my life in christian churches following a religion that did not make sense to me.  I can quote the bible from cover to cover.  There are to many contradictions in the Bible for me to be able to believ in it.  Throughout history Chrustians have strove to convert or "save" every person on earth.  Often this has taken the form of "conform or die" as seen in the Burning Times and the Crusades.  During the burning times if you were a pagan of any beleif you were tried and executed.  Often this was done without proof of any kind, simply for an allegation.  During the Crusades Christians set forth to recapture th Holy Land from peoples who had lived there for hundreds and possibly thousands of years before Christ was even born.  Christians have stated that witches were "devil" worshipers.  We do not even beleive in the devil or satan or any all evil all powerful being.  Satan is a creation of the christian church not of pagan religions.  We do not harm any one and ask only that your beleifs not be forced on those of us who have chosen a different path, conciously, and of our own free will.  We ask that you respect our decision to choose this path.  Will you grant us that respect or will you follow in the path of previous Christians and try to force your religious beleifs down our throats???
