I am a Baptist Christian and I agree that there are those that are strong in their faith and can generally take a joke while those that are not strong in their faith feel attacked by such comments. Paganism has definitely been around for much longer then Christianity and has unfortunately been given a bad rap and mixed in with devil worship and the much feared "witchcraft". I do not know enough about the latter except to say that one can easily be drawn into far more dangerous territory if not careful.

Being of Welsh ancestry, I have studied the history of Paganism and it is hardly anything like voodoo or witchcraft which can bring out some bad consequences which easily get out of control. All I know is that I personally would never choose to practice witchcraft or voodoo because it conflicts with my beliefs but I do know that just because somebody doesn't believe in hell doesn't mean you won't end up there. It is not a mere state of mind but an actual place where God sent Satan and his fellow fallen angels.

The universe is huge and saying that something does not exist simply because you can't see it or believe it does not make it so.

The last time I checked, we're all made of mostly water, have the same salinity as the ocean, and occupy a space on this planet for a fraction of time. Maybe if we stopped arguing over whose heaven is better and whose hell is worse, we as HUMAN BEINGS could accomplish something worth remembering, like eradicating disease or exploring space. Oh wait, that might take time from daily prayers and holy wars! Geez, we so need to lighten up.
