I was just thinking back on a time in my life that has shaped how I treat people as a Christian. I had not always had the same respect shown to me by Christians as I try to show now.
I went through a time where I was sought out and told what I was doing was satanic. How ignorant I thought those people were. What I was into had nothing to do with Satan. Christians needed to get it straight.
Yet, now, I see that it was. I see how ignorant I was for not knowing, for not being able to see their side.
Of course, their side was pretty nasty to my side. I would never lower myself to become a 'Christian' because they were not very good people. Not in my experiences.
The Christians that I had encountered were not ignorant in their theology. They were ignorant in their way and attitude.
I was ignorant of their knowledge.
Ignorance is a fence. People gather around it and settle in on a side.
Today, I never tell people in the occult they are practicing satanic things. I would look ignorant to them- as did those Christians many years ago seemed. Yet, I would never mistreat them, either.
I choose cognizance instead.
