If a person is not interested in listening to what you as a believer has to say concerning Christ, you certainly do NOT have the right to 'shove it down their throat.' But since this is a public forum, there are always new people who will not have read what has already been posted earlier. Those who have already read what has been posted need not go into what I continue to post. Those who are interested will do so, and those who are not interested can simply go into someones elses posts. And if somewhere along the line, someone benefits from what I post, it is certainly worth inconveniencing the readers who don't like what I post.
True enough, however, while there cant be neutrality in your (general use of the word 'your') heart when it comes to God, I highly doubt our Creator would encourage hostility/hatred either toward those who do not share our feelings.

SHOCKER!!!!!!! Time for a lynching?!! FYI, not EVERYONE believes in your God. I for one think it is nothing more than fairy tales.

Seriously, did i say I was a Pagan? No my husbands family is. And there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with it. Fear of it is just a lack of knowledge and brainwashing I think. I have been to the celebrations in Norway ( gorgeous country and very warm and welcoming people) and found nothing evil about them, in fact most were very warm and fun especially their Christmas. Even the days of the week are named for their gods.
