I’ll erase this feeling…
I still have a long life don’t I?
kono omoi wo keshiteshimau ni ha
mada jinsei nagai deshou? I'm friends with a few Christians, they're decent people and understand my beliefs and respect them. They pretty much leave me be. Those who are not educated about other's different beliefs and think pagans go to hell and what not, I do not like. In other words I hate stupid people period. I’m missing the feeling…
so this pain is also welcomed!

I know some absolutely wonderful Christians. One of the most sweet, most kind and most lovely people I know is a Christian. A Jehovah's Witness, in fact.

I know some very Loving and Wonderful Christians.
Some of which who come to me for Advice.
I find More Acceptance within the teens of the Faith than the Adults.
Though there have been the few rays of hope. In fact one of my teachers was really interested himself and Asked me quite a few questions, and I told him that I was still learning myself and not to take everything I say Accreditedly.

I have no issues with them at all. Much of my family is Christian, including a Catholic Priest. I have plenty of christian friends as well. Basically I respect their beliefs and they respect mine. There are the occasional zealots or misguided souls, but you find those among any faith, they get on my nerves, but I have long ago accepted that they get on the nerves of the majority of their own faith as well.

To the one that I serve Most of my family are Christian. I have told some of them about my faith and practices and they are accepting of them. The only problem I have with Christians are those who don't respect that I follow a different path and hold different beliefs. I will give my all

My mom is not a practicing Christian, but she calls on the power of God when she needs it. She says pagan religions are "not real". She believes if there is a god, it's probably best not to tick him off. Being Wiccan might make god angry, and it's silly and childish and isn't real. These are her reasons against me being Wiccan. I think my mother made me lose alot of respect for Christians. A family friend is an active christian. He playfully debates religion with me, which drives my mother crazy. He isn't trying to convert me, and I'm not trying to convert him. We just share our view for an hour until he says 'fair enough, you win'. No one really wins, but that's the only way to end the debate. Someone gives up. I respect him because he knows his beliefs and he'll listen to mine. I think it depends on the person, not the religion.

There is nothing I can really say about the group as a whole. I have some amazing friends who are Christian and I know some Christians who are a bit nutty or are complete assholes. You can't really judge an individual by the group they are in.

Those who are intelligent enough to know their own faith to not drive it down my throat is wonderful in my book. They may not have my friendship, but most definitely my respect.
In general, I have much respect for the faith itself, and those who actually follow it, it's just my introduction to some of it's members has been far from enjoyable.

What a bigoted question! I applaud all of you who have answered it with temperance, it's the only way to answer respectfully. But I cannot respect this question, and I will not answer it. I would not normally respond at all, but I don't think the question was meant to offend. The fact remains: this question offends me. I leave that burden of knowledge with the offender in hopes that friendship and goodwill inspire reconciliation.
@redtearsblackwings
I too thought it said "Christmas" at first glance.
@Ardent Yury
I would be more than willing on any occasion to discuss Christian theology with you.

I leave that burden of knowledge with the offender in hopes that friendship and goodwill inspire reconciliation. Why are you offended? The OP was just asking a question. Asking others what they thought of his religion (and those who share his beliefs). I think that is mainly curiosity and perhaps a little insecurity rather than anything to be offended by.
