  • OK if you really want to talk about Pagan rituals, and then let’s talk about how the Christian church stomped out a way of life that had existed for century’s and then stole some of the same pagan holidays and rituals and Christianized then, Seems to me that country was founded on the freedom of religion, By that I don’t mean the Christian religion I mean all religions, Seem that the Christian message was spread through war which has nothing to do with God what sever .

  • @108Nanvan You are Christian? Well, Christ Himself said there is only one way to the Father, and that that way was through him, correct?

    If you really do believe His words, then why do you brag about so-called religious diversity? Should we not instead be focusing our efforts at evangelizing these non-Christian people?
