   Your choice... Personally I am sure that Christians beleive that Christ   
   is coming tomorrow, and the Earth will be made into a paradise with only   
   those who have never sinned saved,   
    That Christian homes are full of religious icons, crosses, pictures of   
   Christ on a cross, and religious toilet paper, that angels with wings   
   watch you while you sleep (fairies) and that you cant eat fish on Friday   
   or play games on Sunday.   
   and that god watches you go to the toilet, and reads your mind and marks   
   you out of ten for dirty thoughts and sins.   
   Oh yes and that Christian children beleive their mothers are the virgin   
   Mary,   
   We must not forget the pope is going to live forever, and is really   
   speaking with the voice of god, even when he tells African men with   
   A.I.D.s that using condoms is evil and wicked and that God will send   
   them to hell for it.   
   Oh yes and I forgot that some Christians beleive A.I.D.s is a gay plague   
   sent by God to punish men for having sexual feelings about other men,   
   because they have to be fruitful and multiply. Of course its getting   
   more difficult to beleive that as aids now is rampant in the so called   
   straight community. :)   
   Women cant be priests because they don't really have souls, and God is   
   still punishing them for giving that ape Adam a bite of the apple in the   
   garden of Eden... I wonder when Adam gets punished for taking and eating   
   the apple...   
   Oh I forgot he wont get punished because the evil in the world only   
   comes through women, women lead men astray, they have to cover their   
   bodies and their hair in case some man sees them and is seduced by   
   them.... Makes you wonder really how men got out of the trees if they   
   are so easily led astray... Or why the Christian god invented sex and   
   made it fun when its sinful and forbidden.. :)   
   Lets not forget the Easter Bunny, and Father Christmas and Xmas trees   
   which were borrowed from early pagan celebrations of the winter and   
   spring solstices.   
   And the clincher that God speaks through men and tells them to kill each   
   other for not worshiping him correctly. Islam, Christianity and Judaism   
   all worship the same god.. And everyone of those religions has tried to   
   kill the other in the name of that God.   
      
   You would be suprised how Christianity and Christians look to people who   
   are not and never have been Christian.. Talk about fairy tales and   
   suspending belief. It makes magick look rational and sane.. And of   
   course the Christian church believes in magick its been trying to   
   persecute witches out of existence for hundreds of years, and its always   
   going on about miracles... What are miracles if they are not magick ;)
