"This is why witchcraft used to be a capital offense.....it's satanic"

Wow... do people still think this way? What year is this?

What -is- "satanic" is the abuse of the "witchcraft" label to justify killing another human being. Very few of those who were killed for their "witchcraft" during the 1600s actually performed it. Really, the label was used as a means to an end. Not much different from how some now abuse the "terrorist" label. Our government hunts for "terrorists" among our own people as if they were the "witches" of old.

I asked if you had read the Bible, not listened to sermons about it. I assure you that I have indeed read the Bible a great many times front to back and have been studying theosophy religiously (no pun intended) for about 14 years. Pagan (From the Latin Paganus meaning Villager or Countryside inhabitant) is simply a catch all term for those who do not accept church dogma without question as "Conspiracy Theorist" is an exclusionary term for non-mainstream subjects of study.
Moses parted the Red sea. A great number of Saints have exhibited powers granted to them throughout history, and yet you would discount their studious achievements as flukes from some cosmic bingo game where some are simply chosen? This goes against the teachings of Christ. Christ did not teach to put the responsibility of your achievements or lack thereof on the shoulders of God. "Seek and ye shall find". "Knock and the door shall open". Sound familiar?
If you read the Bible it only talks badly of 2 forms of mysticism: Mediumship (The surrender of the Body Altar to foreign spirits) is denounced in the story of the Witch of Endor, and the sorcerers of Egypt who claimed their power came from themselves rather than God. Other forms of mystical knowledge are praised throughout the Bible, as are the true followers of Pagan faiths.
Jesus Himself said to a Centurion (A Pagan), "Verily I say unto you, I have not found such great faith, even in Israel. And I say unto you that many shall come from the east and west and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven."
The Bible says that it is in vanity that one judges the beliefs of another without bearing firsthand witness, and urges Christians to attend the rites of other faiths to "Test whether the spirits present are of God".
Have another look into the Bible and read it for what it says rather than what you've been told it means and you will find a number of blatant discrepancies between the teachings of Church (The politicians of religion) and the actual source. Suicide for example was written about several times in the Bible without condemnation, but with the churches main revenues being tithes (Taxes) every head of cattle counts, and it was thus reformed into a great sin by the church. The Catholic Church waged a propaganda war against Pagans that still clouds religious history today. The Bible describes Satan as a red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. The propaganda of the church reformed the image of Satan to the half man, half goat likeness of Pan, one of the most common symbols of God within Pagan faiths.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for the Bible now that I can read it without a pastor reading over my shoulder...it is much like the Constitution for me in the regard that it holds an inherent wisdom that can teach the proper way to be and act, but it must hold personal Truth for the reader or it becomes bondage, and there are always those willing to bind others to their service.

To worship nature is just as much idolatry as worshiping man.....both are an apostasy and both are responsible for the ever-corrupting, humanist Government we have had since 1860.

I'd have to say that was a little provincial... keep in mind, there are other and older religions than Christianity. One could argue that the spread of Christianity has done more damage to the world than good, after all. Just because it has been well-funded over the years does not make it universally correct.. unless you are leaning towards a theocratic nation...
