I don't mean to insult you or anything. I do believe that we all have the right to choose what we each believe. You don't believe in God, because He is invisible? Do you not believe in Him because you can't tounch, or feel Him. That's totally not a reason to not believe. If God shows Himself, so everyone can see Him, you know the majority of the population would believe in Him then. He doesn't want that, He wants us to decide on Faith, not by sight. Jesus/God has showed Himself to me in many ways. He has given His word to everyone. It's called the Bible, but you decide if you want to hear His word. God created us, He created everything. If we evolved from monkeys, why did we stop evolving. Would not we still be slowly changing into some other being. I belive that it is WAY easier to believe that God created everything. I know that His word is true. If you read the bible, which you may have, you will know that everything that has been spoken has come to pass. A thousand years before Jesus was born, it was written that He would be born. I know God is real, I have prayed to Him and recieved what I ask for. Not because I'm any more important to Him than anyone else, but I had faith in Him to answer my prayer. He wants you to decide by faith, to follow Him. I mean, don't you think He knows that if He appears in front of you, that you will believe. He doesn't want that. I have never seen Him phisically, but yes, I have felt Him on more than one occassion. I'm not trying to judge you, nor change your mind, I'm just stating facts that I know to be true from experience. But I say: Wanna hear God? Read the bible! Wanna see God? Have faith! Wanna feel God? Praise His name! Want help from God? Pray to Him and have trust in Him You may not believe, because you have prayed before, or because you thought you trusted Him enough, but If it works for me it can work for you. Also, we "want" things to benefit us, but the bible says, everything we do should be for Jesus sake. We need to pray for things "to benefit Christ". Now my question...
How can you deny the truth, how can you deny God based on science and sight and not on faith. HOW CAN YOU DENY WHAT IS SO CLEARLY TRUE?

dear 'anonymous'
lets get real. you are obviously looking into Wicca for a reason. Do you feel abandoned by your God? Do you feel insulted that I have a mind of my own and am not afraid to follow my belief, rather than someone elses? I DO NOT DENY WHAT IS CLEARLY THERE! I, HOWEVER BELIEVE THAT I HAVE A MIND AND THAT THE LORD AND LADY INTENDED ME TO USE IT. I REFUSE TO JUMP OFF OF THE CLIFF JUST BEACAUSE SOME MAN STANDS ON A PODIUM AND SAYS TO. HOW ABOUT YOU? WHY DID YOU JUMP? I HAVE NEVER DENIED MY GOD, YOUR GOD, OR ANYONE ELSE'S. WHY DO YOU DENY MINE? WHY SHOULD I BE DENIED MY RIGHTS OF FREE THOUGHT AND FREEDOM OF RELIGION? THE FORFATHERS OF THIS COUNTRY ONVIOOUSLY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT. GET A CLUE. I DO NOT APPRECIATE YOUR BULL CRAP FILLING UP MY SCREEN AND WAISTING MY TIME. I WOULD NOT COME INTO YOUR PLACE OF BUSINESS AND WASTE YOURTIME, PLEASE SHOW SOMW CONSIDERATION, AND DO NOT WASTE MY TIME. GET A CLUE, OR DON'T!! UP TO YOU. BUT DON'T WASTE MY TIME, TRYING TO CONVERT ME. i AM NOT TRYING TO CONVERT YOUR CHILDREN, PLEASE DON'T TRY TO CONVERT MINE. MINE WILL CHOSE THEIR OWN PATH. UNLIKE YOURS.
HE IS YOUR GOD, THEY ARE YOUR RULES. YOU GO TO HELL. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO ALLOWS YOUR FEAR OF SATAN TO ALTAR YOUR DECISIONS. PLEASE, WHICHEVER GOD AND/OR GODDESS YOU CHOOSE TO WORSHIP, USE YOUR MIND. THAT'S WHAT MAKES US SO DIFFERENT FROM ALL OF THE OTHER ANIMALS ON THIS WOONDERFUL EARTH. WE CAN MAKE CONCIOUSE DECISIONS.
OH... AND HAVE YOU RECYCLED? IF ONE IN 10 PEOPLE COMPLETELY RECYCLED ALL TRASH FOR ONE YEAR, IT WOULD LEAVE ONE SQUARE MILE IN A DUMP EMPTY. TRY IT, THE EARTH MIGHT LIKE IT.

IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED ANY MORE CLARIFICATION, JUST THE QUESTION, NOT A BIG CONVERSION SPEECH. OR I WILL DENY YOU.
THANK YOU. HAVE A NICE DAY. LOVE AND LIGHT! BRIGHTEST BLESSINGS! AND MAY ALL THE GODS BLESS YOU FOR HAVING A MOUTH, NUT NO MIND OF YOUR OWN.

WRONG, satan has a fear of my GOD! The bible says that I HAVE AUTHORITY OVER EVIL, and wicca is evil, it is a falce religion created by satan to convert people away from GOD. You will all see one day, God bless and hope you change your mind :-)
