Why do you hate Jesus? He died for several days for you, you know.

Yes it does.

Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Re: What is this place?

Then why do you refuse to keep His commandments?

John 14:23-24
Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.
Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

You go around living a life of sin and perversion, making it necessary for Jesus to preemptively and temporarily die so that you at least have a shot at Salvation. And then you turn around and throw His gift right back in his face. If that's not hateful, I don't know what is.

What evidence do the Christians have of their god?

Word of God, the bible and everything around us that God created.

What do you have?

The various gods and goddesses hold power over what they represent; Artemis holds power over the hunt and the forest and chaste women. Others old power over other things. It's many gods and goddesses controlling the many parts of the world to keep it going rather than one god who does everything.

OK but even in your weird system, there must be one God to rule over all the others - the Mitt Romney of the gods, if you will. So who is it you worship? Is it satan or muoohamhead or fat buddah? It doesn't seem like you worship Jesus Christ.

The Holy Bible tells us about the LORD. Nature, and all study of nature (science), confirms it.

The various gods and goddesses hold power over what they represent; Artemis holds power over the hunt and the forest and chaste women. Others old power over other things. It's many gods and goddesses controlling the many parts of the world to keep it going rather than one god who does everything.

How did you come to this conclusion? What made you think to yourself, Artemis really exists and really does hold the power over the hunt, and what does that even mean? Do you hunt and does Artemis magically guide your arrows? Does he do that for every hunter simultaneously throughout the world? Does one have to speak Ancient Greek to communicate with him? How does this work, because I have to say, it sounds to me like it's really naught but a theater of imaginary friends with whom you identify as relevant to any given circumstance.

Re: What is this place?

It's simply what I believe in, many gods and goddesses who aren't eternally powerful made more sense to me then only one who was.

So you think that preferring something to be true makes it true?

I know what paganism is, thanks. Now please answer the question: what EVIDENCE (however weak or flimsy) do you have of their existence? Have they ever shown themselves to you or communicated with you? Believing in something with no evidence to support it is insane.

I've found faith in a few but my main is the Triple Goddess.

Ah. so you're a Wiccan. What sort of ridiculous b.s. is that? You believe in some three in one deity you read about in a book.

How gullible are you?

your doing the same thing, eccept your gods are a bunch of homo's.. If I had to choose I'd pick the lezbo threesome

Please explain where you learned of them, and upon what evidence you believe they exist.

Also, why would you worship things which aren't eternally powerful? You worship things that are, like you, mortal and limited? What makes them worthy of worship? And since they are mortal, how do you even know they aren't dead?

Dear friend:

Let's assume arguendo that the are multiple gods and goddesses who hold power over different things (and may Jesus forgive me for saying that even arguendo). On the basis of what evidence do you know what gods and goddesses there are and what their powers are? There are many pagan traditions in the world that teach different things about those gods and goddesses, so it's not just a matter of different names. For example, different pagan traditions around the world have different deities of the hunt that differ widely from your Artemis. How do you know which pagan tradition is right?
