Survey for all American religions aside from Wicca and Pagan Traditions.

[draculsanJ]

i m born hindu but never really understood or believe ! so i started researching on religions . it nearly drove me crazy.i finally found out about wiccans n pegan n i read a dozens of books on them. i felt that this is who i am! i choose my religion nt ne people in the world. n i now choose to b a pegan n i really understand n believe in peganism than any other religion i have ever heard of!!and yess i think the pegan tradition should have the same right !!

[TheJonMaster]

i have very much respect for these religions! when i hear those words i think of really nature loving good people. and THEY HAVE EVERY FUCKING RIGHT!!! that guy calling you abominations is an idiot

[ofomatheblackbelt]

1.magic

2.magic

3.it is in the constitution that have freedom of religion

p.s. i'm not pagen

[bluetablelover]

I'm an atheist but I'd like to answer the question. PM me I'm am curious about your beliefs.

1. I don't know much about Wicca. I know paganism is an old belief system in many gods. I like to read up about all kinds of gods. The Greek gods are some of the more interesting ones IMO.

2. Salem. I also think of Celtic. They have some interesting gods as well.

3. Yes. People should have the right to believe what ever they want. As long as they don't mess with matters of state.

[xxMidnightHowlxx]

@ToxicMonkies :D haha thank you!

[xKORNADDIKTx]

1. I'm Wiccan myself, and I think it's wonderful and I just love being one. It is the only religion that makes sense to me, and they don't know the real truth about who we are. They don't have a right to judge us.

2. I think about the God, Goddess, Great Spirit, and the elements and the faith and love that comes with it.

3. YES, YES, YES!!!!!

[WillowWitch001]

1. It is a religonthat is commonly accpeted over the world but portrayed the wrong way.

2. I think of the earth the elemets and the god and goddess.

3.I do think it should because we accept othe religons but they do not accept us in the constitution it says the freedom of religon.

(I am a Wiccan)

[Drmofothegreat]

the point being painfully obvious by your first post.

off to read Quest for the Future now, byebye.

[Drmofothegreat]

hey, you're the "new-age pagan" here ;)

[Vixenpwns]

OK I'll stop now... Sorry.. I have a habit of bringing out a soap box :-) I'm not sure if I successfully answered your questions. But I gave you my beliefs on the matter as far fetched and ludicrous or un-related as they may be.

A parting shot...

We are, each of us, angels with one wing and we can only fly by embracing one another.

Have a wonderful day..

[Vixenpwns]

Awnser to Question 3 Part 3:

The Constitution even says as much..

the First amendment reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

[Vixenpwns]

Awnser to Question 3 Part 2:

We where all created equal.. no matter what religion...race..gender.. we are all equal we are human beings.. no matter how much people try to believe there is.. your just kidding yourself.. there is no difference we where all put here for a reason... So there is no need to discriminate we should all have the same rights...

[Vixenpwns]

Awnser to Question 3 Part 1:

The short answer to this is Yes.

The long answer is this.. Why should we exclude one.. but not the other.. All through history we have had many different fights for different things... The Revolutionary War.. The Civil War... Martin Luther King Jr.. Rosa Parks..

the Woman's movement they all stood for what they believed in.. they fought to no longer be excluded..But why should they have had to fight?

[Vixenpwns]

2. Lets see.. the very first time I was introduced to the word "Witch" was when I was introduced to the Disney movie Sleeping Beauty. It left a imprint I guess I could say cause I was so young. so When I was told about the religion for the first time. by a friend.

I flashed back to that movie. It was kinda funny at the time. I was later introduced to the religion for the first time.. by the same friend.. and now when I hear the word Witch.. it really brings on no reaction.

[Vixenpwns]

Awnser to Question 1.

I feel everyone should be allowed to choose what religion they want to believe in. In my honest opinion there is no bad religion. Just because you don't like it.. or don't believe in it..? Does not mean everyone should not and it does not make it bad... "To each his own". If they believe in it then they have their reason and it is not ours to question why.

[Vixenpwns]

Before I begin, I want you to know that? I was raised Christian... But I have been following the path of the Wiccan for the past 8 months. so Consider me new to the religion .. I kinda refer to myself as at the cross roads.

Robert Frost said it best

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood"

But here are my views anyways.

This is gonna be in a few parts. Youtube has a character limit which stinks. cause i tend to be long winded =(

[xxMidnightHowlxx]

Hello. I'm a Christian, but I'm very accepting of every religion.

Answer 1: They're interesting religions and I think they're worth looking into. From what I've read, it's beautiful and I love the idea of it.

Answer 2: I think, wow! How interesting. They go against everything my religion is about, but wow. It seems beautiful and peaceful.

Answer 3: Why not? Paganism has to do with nature, right? I think every religion deserves a chance. As they say, there is no right or wrong religion. :)

[AstralMelody]

Answer 1: I think pagan religions are wonderful religions.

Answer 2: When I hear the word witch, the idea of herbs come into my mind. When I hear the word Pagan, I think of a beautiful blue sky with children playing in a field.

Answer 3: Pagans should be treated equally by each person. They are human too.

I'm not Wiccan, I'm Pagan Atheist. I don't believe in Gods or Goddesses even though I'm fascinated by mythology. I just celebrate nature, love, bonds, energy and the universe.

[duchess453]

I believe everyone has their own right way to believe. I'm a bit of a mix myself, I once practiced Wicca and them moved to Christianity. From experience though, most of the time Wicca is not associated with the positive. At least from the Christians and a Catholic I've been near it's seen as something you don't do. My family and I however, do know what Wicca is. Pagan rights don't bother me. You can choose how you feel you should believe.

[polarspirit]

Truly, I believe all religions are equal. The main purpose of religion is to guide individual's life till the end and to escape from pain as much as possible. In my perspective, there're good and bad sides of every religion. But of course, "do what ye will" will determine if you see the religion as a bad thing or a good thing. For me, wicca might be bad, but I only support the good side of it and enjoy the beauty of its symbolism of magicks.

[polarspirit]

@polarspirit But of course, I wouldn't let my religion down by converting myself to pagan. I respect all religion and learn all rightful things from each religion to make my life better. And if possible why not combine all religion as one? I impart these, and only good teachings, into my life together with my buddhism's teachings.

[Mysticdreamlight]

Combine all religions as one? That's an awful lot of laws to follow.

[polarspirit]

@Mysticdreamlight It's already combined. What I'm saying is everyone was born under the hands of the creator, even Buddha, Jesus or Allah themselves. When we believe in these gods, in other words, we're believing in nature. This is the key to having common religion throughout the world, a nature-based religion. We are all equal. This was what I saw in Paganism.

[kelliew4848]

im wiccan to )O( bleesed be to u

[Drmofothegreat]

not religious, but will answer some, you did sy you'll allow rude comments

1. Wicca- exactly like Christianity except steals the gods of older better religions and pussifies them. Paganism-NOT A FUCKING RELIGION!!! you said Hindus could answer, by definition they are pagans.

2. stop seeking attention and let ridiculous beliefs die already.

3. didn't we just get done celebrating a 'pagan' holiday.

why the fuck is this in recommended videos?

[bluetablelover]

@Drmofothegreat Yes lets ALL the ridiculous beliefs die. Including yours.

[sabertoothwolf19]

I am Pagan but my family is Catholic... so... I'll answer the third question only... No Pagan and Wiccan do not share equality in society for both are viewed as wrong and or "evil"

[HadesJr9001]

I agree with momo.

I am a Wiccan myself.

Thanks for this video and Blessed Be.

)O(

[xXxloveandlightxXx]

Blessed Be!

[shadow0vagabond]

Hello, I loosely practiced Roman Catholicism, but later changed to Protestant Christianity. I heard and read about Wicca as well as other religions. I find it interesting and have nothing against Wiccans or pagans. When I think of the two, I think of free spirited people similar to hippies, even kinda of reminds me of Hindu and Zen beliefs. As for pagan rights, it's a free country for all, not just the majority.

[cfactsrfacts]

Jesus please protect each and everyone of the ones that watch this video on this evil day. Lord God we know you are much bigger then the evil one, show yourself in a might way today to all that don't believe in you! Amen

[RickeyF1989]

@cfactsrfacts and the gods above please bring light to this man because his brain seems to be kinda dim

[gothicspiderman]

blessed be )O(

[Headstronghorse]

I'm a Christian but I've always found myself very interested in Wicca and religion in general. I think Wicca is a wonderful and peaceful religion and I agree with some of their ideas. Should they be allowed the same rights as the "main stream" religions? Of course they should. They're human beings and they should be accepted and treated as such. Theyre not monsters like some loyal Christians and Jews might claim.

[AstralMelody]

Thank you!

Blessed Be )O(

[moonbasil]

I agree with you Kayko. I will never give away my soul to anyone. You wants to be a slave when you can be free. I dedicate myself to the goddess though, I am proud to say I'm wiccan and not afraid to hide it. All my friends know it and so does my family and theirs. They accept the fact and treat me the same as before.

[Bakomhuset]

"Get a life go talk to real people and get away from the fairy tale's here on you-tube!"

So you are saying that your religon is the only one NOT based on fairytales? Only you have the truth?

I would also like to point out that some people here seem to label Paganism as one religion. That is completely wrong, its more like an umbrella/network of religions:

Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, African, South-american, Nordic, Germnanic etc

BTW: Can non-americans answer the questions?

[cfactsrfacts]

There are a lot of religions I am not talking religion I am talking Jesus. The One and only Truth!

He alone can save you!

Religions are man made to fill up something that think Jesus can't but He Fill all our needs He alone!,

[sametheorigional]

*rolls eyes*

Bravo, you've succeeded in being labelled as a close-minded idiot. Congratulations. Any hopes I had that there would be no war in the future have just been crushed. Bravo cfactsrfacts.

*rolls eyes again*

As for this survey.

1: I think theyre both very peaceful religions and could, quite possibly, be the way forward out of war.

2: I think of nature.

3: Absolutely.

Bye :)

Oh, and cfactsrfacts, Im not going to bother having an argument with you, so dont even try.

[cfactsrfacts]

Rolling your eyes shows how foolish you are the road to God is very narrow not wide like you all believe!

God Bless you!

[RickeyF1989]

@cfactsrfacts there is no one way to god, get over it.

[OukaHimura123]

it is not too late, i'm waiting for 100 comments... i'm afraid i do not understand what you mean when you say that i lumped Christians, Muslims, and Jewish into one category?

[DemonKayko]

We don't need your hate comments on here. Your the one who is misunderstood about Paganism. I mean, why would something so evil like satan would create flowers. And Paganism's law is "An it harm none, do what thou wilt." which means you can do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt anybody. Now... how does that sound evil? You said satan is evil, right? Then why would he tell us not to hurt anyone? I'd like you to answer this.

[cfactsrfacts]

BECAUSE IT TAKES YOU AWAY FROM GOD.

That is satans goal to destroy your relationship with the Lord God.

Evil is he and a liar!!

[DemonKayko]

You did not answer my question. If our leader is Satan, why would he tell us not to harm anyone?

[cfactsrfacts]

Because if you believe him and do "nice things" thinking all along that you are doing no harm you fail at getting to know Jesus who is the TRUTH!

[DemonKayko]

Yes but, Jesus said do not harm others too. Jesus said "Love thy neighbor" and I see many Christians hating thy neighbor.

[cfactsrfacts]

What you see is what Satan wants not what God wants.

Love thy neighbor is loving people enough to tell them the truth!

Satan want to harm Christians so he has sent his demons into the churches and to call themselves Christians.

You see there is a battle for souls God wins but it does not stop Satan from trying, he is the father of lies.

[DemonKayko]

"Love thy neighbor is loving people enough to tell them the truth!"

Jesus never said anything like that. He only said "Love thy neighbor" no matter what, even whether they have different beliefs. Like I said, everyone views God differently.

[cfactsrfacts]

This site asked for my comment. I gave it and I am the one you are attacking because I told you the truth.

You are right show a true example is the way Jesus wants us to love others!

But since you and I do not know each other that is impossible..so I tell you the truth in love so that you will hear and believe!

[DemonKayko]

Yes, but this video asks you about how you view paganism itself, not from the misunderstood christian side.

[cfactsrfacts]

I few it from what I know the Bible God's Holy word and that say it is an abomination to the Lord God

[DemonKayko]

Once again you are being ignorant.\ The Earth isn't evil. Worshiping the Earth isn't evil. Your treating your Father's creations as the Devil's creation. And it's view, not few. I said The video asks you how you view the religion itself, what are the pagan beliefs? Not how Christianity mis-views it.

[DemonKayko]

People shouldn't worry what will happen when they die. There is no reward after you die. Don't dwell on the past, don't worry about the future, just concentrate the present.

[DemonKayko]

Hey guys. Why should we waste our time on someone who is closed minded? We ask cfactsrfacts question, yet she doesn't give us her own answer. So why waste time on someone who possibly will be ignorant at the end of her life? Oh and factsrfats, ma'am. YouTube is an entertainment website, not a religious debate, so if you want to go argue and try to be righteous which is against the bible, go on another site. Just go and leave us since you refuse to try to co-exist with us.

[OukaHimura123]

Kayko.  i did say that flames were allowed here. i do not particularly agree with cfactsrfacts, however i did ask for an opinion.

[DemonKayko]

I'm so sorry. I don't whats wrong with me, I've been like this ever since I came back to the U.S.

[DemonKayko]

Romans 3:10 says, "As it is written: 'There is no one righteous, not even one.'" You, ma'am are trying to be righteous, but you're not. YouTube is a website for entertainment, not a religious debate.

[DemonKayko]

I'm not trying to be righteous.

[cfactsrfacts]

There is One Righteous! His name is JESUS !

[DemonKayko]

Romans 3:10 says, "As it is written: 'There is no one righteous, not even one.'"

[cfactsrfacts]

You are a silly child.

God is telling people none of us are righteous, but that the blood of Jesus can clean us, He die for all people! He Is the only righteous ONE!

Revelation 19:11 11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war

[DemonKayko]

I'm not silly. Your silly. Just because I am younger doesn't mean I don't know anything. YouTube is an Entertainment website, not a religious debate. Take your argument elsewhere.

[cfactsrfacts]

Is this what you do to entertain yourself on here. That not silly? No wonder you are all so mixed up!

Get a life go talk to real people and get away from the fairy tale's here on you-tube!

This life is not about entertaining yourself it is all about who you serve and making the best of a life given to you by God!

This life is just a passing moment in eternity.

to make yourself happy here is not what it is all about!!

[DemonKayko]

Thats the same for you. You don't know my life so you can't judge me.

[cfactsrfacts]

AGAIN I AM NOT JUDGING YOU!!

I am telling you the truth so you can REPENT of your wicked ways and spend eternity in heaven with Jesus!

Jesus Loves you!

[DemonKayko]

It looks like your judging me. And I do not worship an evil deity. That is not my way, I refuse to worship someone so freakin evil like your satan. You don't know my life, you don't have an education, you have no idea what your talking about. Jesus gave us a choice whether to believe him or not. I admit that he was a good teacher. I don't regret being catholic, I did enjoyed it but it's just not my path, okay?

[cfactsrfacts]

Jesus gave us free choice you are right to accept Him and believe or the Devil/Satan what ever you want to call him, it is all the same he is the father of all liars he has got control of your mind. He owns your soul unless you repent and believe in the only One who has the power to save you...Jesus!

[DemonKayko]

My soul belongs to myself and always will. It's impossible to sell your soul. And even if it were possible to sell your soul, my soul would belong to me, I wouldn't give it away.

[cfactsrfacts]

God wants it and so does Satan so one of them will own you. That is all that is up to you, who will you give it to?

[DemonKayko]

I'm not giving myself to anyone. Got that? I am not a slave.

[Madeppymage]

calling her wicked IS judging.

[cfactsrfacts]

It is just like you to take things out of context!

Wicked ways is not judging!

[OukaHimura123]

just leave him be Madeppymage, we know what we're about. he can believe how he wishes, it has no affect on us. let's now drop it before another "crusade" as someone on my other vid called it, starts on this vid as well ;)

[RickeyF1989]

@cfactsrfacts you sure the hell stay on here long enough to comment on this shi

[artielove96]

@OukaHimura123 You grouped them together because they're all abrahamic religions, whoever doesn't realize that is kinda....dumb. lol

[cfactsrfacts]

For those of you that don't like my comments don't read them!

OukaHimura ask and I gave you all the TRUTH!!

[OukaHimura123]

That's cool! i grew up Episcopalian, my family still is =D (except my dad...but he's another story...not too sure what he is...)

[NuyBard]

Sounds like an interesting project? Will you be sharing with us what you learnt? If you have already done so, could you point me to it? Thanks.

I am a Wiccan.

[Equippedgamer]

I might be really late on this.

1.) Wicca and Paganism, being religions based on more earthly beliefs are in my opinion very elementary in the belief system but at the same time they are where our beliefs should have stayed. The more mainstream religions have caused too many problems.

2. Witches have been given a different place than wiccans or Pagans. Witches are given the more evil picture, Wiccans are earth based believers who try and cast spells and pagans just believe in the earth.

3.yes

[Sareaesque]

1. Wicca is a relatively new concept to me, but there are aspects of it which I have held a fascination with and felt deep in my heart most of my life. Although I remain agnostic because it goes against my nature to believe blindly in something which cannot be proven (I still accept a higher power, just not our definition of it)

2.I think of mysticism and magic, peace, beauty, being close with nature and learning to live with it, and traditions of times long past respectively

3. absolutely

[buio5]

1) I think Paganism is a interesting religion to study, there's a lot of stuff about it that interest me. Wicca ive never heard of until now.

2) Witch i think about magic and sorcery, Wiccan, i go huh? and for Pagan i think of the old Viking Gods.

3) Yes, it is the country of the "free" after all. Although it was built by slavery,conquest and other things that contradict freedom.

[wolfsfate]

1: i have no problem with either. we all have an opinion or belief that we think is right, and what one group of people has the right to object to that? if i had to choose a religion i would choose one of these.

2: the first thing i think about is nature to be honest, and a little bit of samhain. (sorry if that's misspelled or anything)

3: HELL YES!!! it's an official religion right? people believe in it as much as christians do in their religion so why no?

i hope this helps you out :)

[DemonKayko]

I'm almost pagan. I just need to know a few more things and I'll be offically pagan. I was born catholic as I said many times before but will take the Pagan path.

[OukaHimura123]

send me a PM and i'll see what i can do to help ya out. ^-^,

Brightest Blessings )O(

[victorrr83]

1. Wicca is some old knowledge about world and us in this world close to nature very spiritual. and don't really heard about paganism.

2. Night, forest, moon, attraction and fear

3. I can't really tell yes because as you can see from my 1st answer i didn't know that Wicca is actually religion. but i think "no" or... "yes".... can't give you an answer on this one

I'm Orthodox Christian

[UmberNoxtrum]

1. It's a religious view, like anyone else's.

2. When my mom managed to do some creepily accuracte predictions of how things in my family life would go. She's Wiccan, and whether she's just using cold speech, was lucky or if there was magic involved is, of course, up to debate.

3. I'm pretty sure Wicca is pretty mainstream by now, but either way it should get the same treatment.

[Orlan54]

1.) Nonsense like all other religions

2.) Wizard of Oz (specifically the wicked witch of the north (?) getting owned by the house)

3.) Yes.

[MattSixteen26]

1) I have no objection to either. I see Wicca as a rather benign religion and, while I don't have much experience with Paganism, I don't recall reading anything bad about it.

2) Magic is the first word that comes to mind with witch or Wicca; with Paganism I suppose I think of polytheism.

3) Most definitely!

I'm a Quaker in case you need to know. Feel free to contact me if you have more questions for your survey or if you need clarification.

[BlueFireWitch]

If you want people to notice this video, you should post it as a video response to Jezuzfreek or Togetherforpeace

[darthragnhild]

I can not answer this but my niece wishes if she can answer being a Luciferian

[OukaHimura123]

Sure, i see no problem with it.

[darthragnhild]

Okay well I am Frig and I am Darthragnhild's niece and a Luciferian so here I go.

1:I have a love for pagans in general being so many of my family is pagan.I have a slight disrepect for wicca as I see many just making it up as they go along

2:I think of the old ways when I hear paganism and magick, wicca I think new age

3:of course I do as long as it's harming no one

I am sorry if I offend anyone who is wiccan but these are my feelings, thank you
