Yes Rainbow that is true. Many of the Christian extremists do say that Paganism is Satanism...which again is another form of propaghanda.

It's funny how Christians try to call Paganism Satanism, since Satan is a Christian Deity. Pagans don't believe in Satan.

In highschool, I had some evangelical Christian girl constantly on my case about believing in astrology and having an interest in other religions. I mean, she would literally confront me in the halls and start trying to "convert" me or "save" my soul. I told her that I didn't believe everything she believed and to just leave me alone. We ended up having a discussion, during one of her attempts to convert me, about metaphysics and esp and meditation, etc. She said that all those things were tools of the Devil to drag your soul into Hell. I told her I didn't believe in the Devil. She replied that "that prove[ed]" it ... I was under demonic influences and was being give powers by satan and his minions in order to help spread evil and darkness thru the world. I had to first accept the fact that satan was real, that I was under his spell, and then repent and accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour to redeem myself.
I am so not joking, this girl was for real. In public, mind you, attempting to "save [me] from the errors of [my] ways". It's just sick. I don't care what you believe, I'm not going to try to convert you ... so can't you show me the same respect?
