Because Christianity is one of the largest religions makes it a very, very large target. Catholic priests are now targeted because Catholicism is one of the largest organized religions that exist. Also, those acts mentioned above are against the ten commandments and Jesus' law and therefore unchristian.
Whatever happened to mentioning the Catholics that were persecuted? I guess that is not politically correct. Or the Americans killed in the name of Islam just 2 years ago. Or the slaughter of Jewish, or the thousands of Christians slaughtered because of their faith. Oops! That's not kosher!
I believe you shudder much harder on judgement day. We were give free will, it's your choice.

Catholic priests are now targeted because Catholicism is one of the largest organized religions that exist. ...pedifilia is wrong in any religion... Also, those acts mentioned above are against the ten commandments and Jesus' law and therefore unchristian. ...so why did christians commit them?...
Whatever happened to mentioning the Catholics that were persecuted? I guess that is not politically correct... no it was not right either... Or the Americans killed in the name of Islam just 2 years ago....there were more then christians killed in that event, I know 4 wicans that were there and no longer are... Or the slaughter of Jewish, or the thousands of Christians slaughtered because of their faith. Oops! That's not kosher! ..funny! NOT! you do not see the whole picture friend, these autrosities were commited by unsound minds, not people that claim to be loving, god fearing folk!
I believe you shudder much harder on judgement day. We were give free will, it's your choice....my judgement will be the same as yours, based on the way I have lived my life and not on the basis of what secular church I belong to... seems to me you need to research Wica some before you speak, Wica is more a loving religion then you think; we do not worship the devil, we put the love of life into more living things then most religions and resect and revere life in all it's forms, not putting the human beast at the top of the chain!

And neither were the ones earlier bashing Judeo-Christian. I didn't want to carry this on-- guess some others do.

In response, perhaps you have not read anything on Christian religion either. The first and foremost rule is to accept Jesus Christ as your savior. If you do not, then you will not enter heaven. So, based on this argument why would I have to "research"? Plus, of course our religion puts us at the top of the chain. We are taught that humans were made in God's image. All I am is just saying what I believe. Not bashing, not converting.
I never said anything about devil and you go off on some tangent like I'm trying to bash wica. I never did. I was giving what I believed in addition to other interpretations of death.
I have to hand it to everyone but Shadows, this was an interesting forum. We discussed and were informing one another and becoming more aware of other's beliefs. .... till now.
