~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ok, so if not, why would you be avoiding it? Most people consider the occult to be anti-Christian, so it would make sense to know your opponents arguments in order to know why you are moving away from it. But if you haven't done this comparison in past, how would you know what the advantages are in your new beliefs over your old ones?

>I am saying that I have not read the New Testament so

>because I don't know anything about it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Well...I wouldn't want to judge Christianity on the Old Testement at all - yet the two books (Old and New) have to be studied together to get a feeling for where the Judeo-Christian mindset came from that basically established our North American laws, education, social behaviour, medicine, etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ok, so then you don't believe in any kind of supernatural creator that oversees the universe, or you simply don't believe in the God of the Old Testement? If it's the latter, I can tell you that a lot of Christians don't need this kind of God any more either.
