Nothing I have said, infers that I think criminals are cool that get away, that is what you are trying to make it sound like.
What I said was that God creates us all, some good, some bad. If a criminal appears to get away with something here on earth, then, I believe that is the way God wants it, for whatever His reasons are. I do not question God.
As I've noticed, we have different viewpoints.

> No finger pointing, but I'd be curious the make up of paganism.
Keep in minde, the definition of "pagan" is basically anyone who is not Christian/Jew/Muslim. That's a number of *billions* of people. Trying to lump Shinto, Asatru, Roman/Greek/Egyptian revivalist, Hindu, Native American, etc. all together is a fools exercise.
I'd say there is a pretty solid percentage of neo-nazis and then a solid percentage of socialist liberal pagans. The minority in this group I am certain are conservative and call themselves pagan.
See here:

"Thus, Ásatrúar think of Wiccans as communist drug-addicted homosexual nudists on welfare, while Wiccans see Ásatrúar as militaristic drunken gun-crazy gay-bashing nazis."
Not seeing how this is a regarding Jesus thread
Retrace your steps. You brought it up.
Bah! Humbug!
There is nothing in pagan settings to do with Frosty and Rudolph either. It is simply a tale for the wee one's to enjoy.
Very well said.
Lawyers and judges are more dangerous to our future than warlocks and witches, imho.
They're working together against Christianity.
Not everyone within the pagan community is against the Christian's. Most just ask that rather then attempting to continuously convert us, that you respect our differences and also find it within yourselves to learn our similarities since many of us have been doing the same.
I personally have a problem with only a handful of Christians and those are because I know that they are giving Christian's a bad name, just as I have issues with some people that claim to be pagan, because they also make things more difficult for people to view us in a more positive light.
Stonehenge, where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Stonehenge
Where a man is a man and the children dance to
the pipes of pan
Stonehenge
Tis a magic place where the moon doth rise
With a dragon's face
Stonehenge
Where the virgins lie
And the prayer of devils fill the midnight sky
And you my love, won't you take my hand
We'll go back in time to that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry and the cats meow
I will take you there
I will show you how
Tufnel & St. Hubbins c. 1984
The writer in me appreciates that, I'd love to know where it was found. (Will probably do a search later on.)
"Personally, I see all paganism as being evil."
It's pretty sad that most people don't realize that.
It is rooted in evil, the people involved in it deny that of course. This type of stuff usually goes off into some sick stuff if you read any of their stuff.
Anything that seeks to replace Christ with something else is of course against Christ. They certainly have the freedom to make that choice, but the truth is the truth.
