Thread Name: BS: A question for Wiccans and Pagans
Subject: RE: BS: A question for Wiccans and Pagans
Hmm. People who feel the need to pressure and bully people into believing as they do are I think insecure with their own religious beliefs to begin with. Those folks should not have done that, it was very rude and intrusive of them.

I met a girl once at a community college who was pagan. I listened to what she had to say and though I did not share her beliefs and told her so I still respected her right to believe as she saw fit. She seemed surprised at my attitude and told me that I was the first Christian who had not told her she was going to hell for what she believed :)

I try never to judge someone on what they believe or make assumptions about them. Mostly cause so many times people make all sorts of crazy assumptions about Mormons, but most of them are just plain funny and I'm not the kind to get easily offended. I'm like " Okay I will do all I can to be open-minded and understand why you believe as you do and I only ask that you do the same for me. " I grew up with a family bookshelf full of everything from the Koran to the story of Passover to anti-Mormon literature to a pamphlet on the Ba'haian faith so I consider myself pretty well-rounded.

Oh yeah thanks Rapaire for taking the time to read the Book of Mormon and LOL I promise not to send missionaries after you since you're not interested. Hope things work out with the granny. That's true a lot of times, the more prosperous folks are the more they tend to look down their noses at people which is a shame, it shouldn't be that way.

And the Osmonds scare the crap out of me too. O_O those big white teeth make me think they're gonna bite me.
