My fault pagan, I didn't notice the "Calvinist" perspective comment was still on my blog description. It doesn't seen you noticed either to me though, you should have just pointed that out. It was in very small lettering. Also it's very hard to find that setting in wordpress, and when you are bogged down all the time with all kinds of Hell, like I am, you don't always notice those little things. So, sorry for the insults on that. Why did you put fundamentalist Christianity on your last blog post, this one, and not point out the history of pagans?: Pagans are known for being cold blooded sexually immoral murderers of their own children: https://eternian.wordpress.com/category/ancient-egypt/
In Europe that was severely curtailed by Reformed Christians.And in Asia and India female infanticide continues by the Hindus and those with folk religions. You conveniently, in your bias, overlook these long known facts.
If the evil Catholics hadn't beaten and converted the majority of pagans, that child prostitution, child slavery and female infanticide, and money-hoarding would still be going on.
Also, not all children who are hit by their parents will think it is okay, it depends what else they learn in their lives.

I remember reading and commenting on something about beating children some time ago, but I am almost sure it was not on a Christian blog - how would I get there in the first place? I mean, I do read a few blogs which are written by Christians, but they usually do not touch the subject of faith, because I am fairly sure that would lead to unpleasant comments from both sides and might cause me an aneurism.
This e-mail confused me. It did not upset me, strange enough, and I also have to admit I find it rather amusing.
My response was as follows:
Good morning, Mr. Knight,
I am sorry but I think you confuse me with someone. I thought very hard about it for approx. 30 seconds, and I do not think I have ever visited your blog, nor would I take the energy to read or comment on a Christian blog - simply because in most cases it would lead to less-than-friendly exchanges of opinions without anyone benefiting from the incident. In my experience, some religions do not get along as well as others, and while I do have a series of Christian as well as Muslim friends who have simply accepted that, although my soul is (in their opinion) damned, I am still a rather pleasant being. ^^
In my opinion, neither Pagans nor Catholics nor, for that matter, Calvinists are evil per se. It usually depends on the person and their ability (or inability) to connect with others. It is easily possible for someone to be a Pagan and yet be someone I do not like, just as I highly value several people who do not share my faith, just for them being decent humans.
And, just for the records - yes, I do have sex, and I have never killed any children.
Kind regards,
Diandra Linnemann

I don't even understand what that person was saying! Their attempt to form a sentence befuddles me.
Also, he's referring you to practices that happened over 2,000 years ago? What? 2,000 years ago, Christians shoved living snakes down people's throat if they wouldn't convert to their way of thinking, so his point does not hold water.
I tried reading the post he refers you to and he can't form a coherent, let alone intelligent, thought.
Odd.
And definitely something you can ignore, I think.
I simply had to blog about this. I hope that's OK! :D
Reply: Thank you for those words, yes it's kind of new and precious and I'd like to be in control of this and keep to my heart a little while longer...
Cheers!

Geez...hard to tell what that person is even talking about! There is ugliness in it thats for sure, but it's also typical so i'm not surprised. :( I won't even get started on the horrors the christians have done to others in the name of their religion and I see it still continues by this email. I'm so sorry they felt the need to email you, but I would def blow it off, consider the source and don't give it another minute of your time. Hope you have a wonderful day :) ((Hugs))
Yeah, I don't really know where all that was coming from, either. Obviously, the commenter doesn't know how to distinguish apples from oranges. I like your closing line!
I can't stand when people use arguements like that (his, not yours, ha). It's so freaking ignorant, and it's like arguing with a parrot.
Great response! I also have sex and have never eaten any of my children - though I did eat the placenta!
Your response was amazing, well thought out and perfectly worded, compared to a less than well thought out spray of hate and inaccuracy.
Cheers on an awesome response!
I found your blog through another one I follow. As a follower of Christ, I just don't know what to say other than, I'm sorry someone was filled with hate. Love, tolerance and the inherent worth and dignity of all humans are what I try to live by, pure and simple. Cyber hugs sent out. Hope this finds you with a much better day!
Thanks for all your kind words! Yeah, I had a hard time understanding him, too. But I find this whole thing more amusing than disturbing - might be different if it was someone living close by. ^^
A very confusing person...
Answer to your comments: I haven't read that story, but I guess I should. :)
And that exercise sounds wonderful, perhaps I'll try it. It's like you say, there are many ways.
Cheers!
I've vowed that if I ever receive Christian hate mail, the first thing I'm going to do is post it. LOL
Some people just can't see past the noses on their face.
