Is Christianity under attack by secular society?

You are right about that Legion your time has been running out like sand in a sieve and soon as Christians have put off their mortal soul and taken on a eternal soul through Christ you will be in the blotted out group and time is over no burning like a piece of bacon just turned to ashes from within. I do so look to that day to be in my near future for the harvest is near and you know what that means for you Beelzebub

I'm sure there are truckloads of people who can't wait for you to die either

I suppose if you choose to walk into what you know is a hostile environment, then you would share some blame for doing so. However, this does not justify the existance of unnecessary hostile environments (i.e. dark alleys and bad neighborhoods).

But is every alley really hostile? I think it's because of the generalization and hype that people get from outside media and from a particular personal experience. I like to venture into these sorts of would-be scary areas of town, and I find it fascinating. I've run into some very interesting people in the crevices of Shreveport, and I've never been harmed. Sure, I've been threatened, and that's all fine and good, but they have the personal choice to do so, I like to communicate with other people as human beings, instead of assuming their entire message and life story before even meeting them.

You keep buying your dope in back alleys and you will meet a bitter end. You sure sound like you could use some help. Open your eyes boy this world will eat you with out a burp. Sad is what this is very sad our youth think this the way it should be not all youth but I have a nephew that has been down this trail and he is still there after years of "being in control" he thought and now in and out of rehabs that teach him how to get his junk and hide it too. Devil is in this big time.

Seriously, Wolf, turn your caps off when you post. If you, by chance, have trouble seeing the text, you can always use a slightly larger font style.

Also, as I may not agree with Isaac's point of view, I'm certainly not rude enough to tell him he is wrong. How different would I be than him then? It's true that Christians once slaughtered us Pagans. But it's also true that the Romans slaughtered Christians during the time of Nero and they made it a sport. In short, we've all had our turn at the chopping block, so there's no point in dredging it up now. ZERO persecution is the goal here, my friends, and I say that to everyone.

You're also not man enough to stand up for and defend your own beliefs. Are we supposed to be surprised you wouldn't tell another individual they're unfounded beliefs are wrong?

It's not a question of being man enough to defend my beliefs. Of course I am! However, for what purpose do I need to defend my beliefs here? Is anyone attacking them?

You mean besides every time a christian tells you your polytheistic beliefs are wrong and I tell you belief in imaginary beings is wrong?

tough call seeing as how you won't express your opinions on religion unless asked a direct question....and that's assuming you don't just choose to "turn the other cheek" like normal.

[AnimeSpirit]

Oh, alright.......I disagree! Are you happy now? I defended my beliefs.

Seriously though, if you want to know what my beliefs are, just ask. But I'm not gonna discuss it in a Christianity thread, very rude. If you want to PM me with questions or jump to another thread, by all means.

The idea is this, Brain. Pagans and their related traditions do NOT discuss religion unless prompted. Why? Because such discussion may be controversial to people who do not share the same beliefs. It's just good manners. It's an act of respect for those of different beliefs, despite what our opinions of them are.

Now, if someone comes to this board to put Pagans down and actively criticize our ways, then I will likely step forward. However, I'm not about to stick my nose into debate that doesn't concern me (i.e. Atheist vs. Christians).

And finally, the implications you make that I'm immature for not standing up for my beliefs do not concern me at all. I do not care what you consider "manly." This is absolute.
