I think that I might have given some people here some wrong impressions in the past. So, I'd just like to clear a few things up.
1. I am a Christian.
2. This means that I believe in one God, who expresses Himself as a Trinity of people - God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
3. This also means that I believe all other gods/godesses/deities-of-any-description are fakes, invented by humans or by Satan to trap people and keep them away from God.
4. In addition, I believe that everyone who isn't a Christian is going to Hell.
5. Understandably, I would really rather all you people didn't go to Hell. Hence, I'm praying for you. And I'm going to keep praying for you. Even if you ask me not to.
So, there we go.

Re: Wiccan Rede; "An' it harm none, do what thou wilt"
Date: 2002-04-26 02:22 pm (UTC)From:'The History of the Devil', a sceptical history by an atheist, points out that the idea of a devil has been around for as long as any religion. What you suggest here is, I think, a corruption of the fact that the word 'adversary' is used instead of 'the devil' throughout the Hebrew original versions of the book of Job. However, the Devil was believed in by Jews long before Christians, and by many, many non-semitic religions. Likewise hell.
