I think countrycrow let her emotions take hold of her response and it came out a little over bearing but she does have a point. I am a Christian myself and very proud & secure in my love and faith in Christ.  I will admit I have never read a pagan book or looked to any other god or goddess for anything. I can say that it hasn't been until the last couple of years that my true understanding and faith has grown. My walk with God is stronger now through what I have read in the Bible and from what I have experienced through church.  

Because I have not read a thing about paganism (Frankly it scares the daylights out of me) I can't argue a thing about what is written in any pagan book What I can argue is what is written in the Bible. Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega" says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is yet to come, the Almighty"  

My point is... If God is the Alpha (the beginning, no other before) then wouldn't that mean that Christianity was first? Because Christians believe in God and the word of the Holy Bible. It also states in the Bible that God created the world in 7 days. That would be Genesis 1- 1:31. That would be all about on how on the first day God said "Let there be Light" and Shazam! There was Light. And It continues on with creation of the earth and everything on it. On the seventh day however God rested and declared that the Sabbath day. Hence is where us Christians get that & spend that day in church. My next point to be was .... If God created the earth and everything in it, wouldn't that make Christianity the first religion as well? So I am pretty confident that paganism is NOT the first religion "don't forget that!" 

I want to also say that Satan believes in God as well. He was after all an angel of God. He thought that he could do it better however and so now we live daily with the ramifications of his huge ego. 

CountryCow would not be doing her/his part as a Chrisitan if she/he was not spreading the word of the gospel. It is her dutie to share the word of the Bible. As a Christian I am sure that she/he pray's for others to find their way to Christ before it is to late for them. I will apologize for CountryCow or any other Christian, including myself, if anything has ever been said to turn you away from God because that is not what is wanted for you. I know the Bible can put some people off because there are things written that are very difficult to understand but maybe try reading other Christian books. The "Left Behind" series is absolutly phennominal at the way it explains the Bible. Like your asking others to look into your beliefs and give it a chance, I am asking the same of you. Give Christianity a chance and maybe you will understand the passion of it. 

God bless! 

P.S. CountryCow~ We all judge...We all fall short of the "Glory of God" 

Thank you. It really seemed like everyone was very supportive  and compassionate. I thought having an outlet is so helpful and I am finding that people who have experienced some of the same things are usally a little easier to speak with. I have had some pretty condemning Dr's. 

I feel recovering from illness's or injuries is very hard and just really adds to the depression. So thank you. I look forward to talking with everyone. 

You don't sound like a mean person. Really, really sad but not mean. I know when you are emotionally spent the physical affects start & so you feel even worse.  

Why do you think you are so horrible?  

Don't throw the towel in on yourself. I don't personally know you but I do know that I don't want you to feel so sad. It takes a lot to trust strangers with those kind of emotions and it's an awsome thing that you shared them. Thank you!!! 

I don't think it is because you are listening to the devil. I believe he is doing what he can to break you down. But it sounds like you have taken steps to make yourself feel better and that isn't what the devil would want you to do. Maybe your meds need to be adjusted. How long have you been on your current meds? I just started Zoloft a month & a half ago and so far those have been wonderful for me. I hope I don't ever have to adjust my meds but when you feel that horrible I think it should be taken into consideration. 

Do you like the Church you go too? Even if that is the only place you go all week at least that's a good place to be. I didn't go to church today either. I have been looking for a new church (not as actively as I should) but I have not found the one that makes me feel good. I do really miss going. I loved my old church, but we live to far from it now. 

What do you think about your husband being controlling? Do you think he is? Is it something that really impacts the way you feel? If it does then I would say yes. Does he go to counsling with you? It sounds like it may be beneficial to him as well.  

Hang in there sweetie. People do care. I care :)
