This I must know?

I am baffled by religion, please someone tell me why...


Poem Artwork

I have been persecuted for many of things before, but this one question is perplexing my brain with throbs of frustrations. 

Therefore I pose the question, "Which is the most noble?"

Because I am Christopagan, people have said that my faith is an abomination to God.  If this is so, can someone tell me why? 

History tells me that my faith has been around since the beginning of time, and many women were martyrs for the faith being burned at the stake and even worst fates. 

The religious Christians of that time protected their faith by committing murders of anyone who do not believe as they believed. 

We have the Christian Witches that were denied the right to worship God as they saw fit, and the Christian Church that put all people that rebelled against their practices to death.

Hmmm, I wonder..... 

The greater crime is what, worshipping as you like, or murdering the innocent? 

Whose faith is the most noble? 

Remember Joan of Arc, her fleshed burned because she heard the voice of God and proclaimed His word.  She was called a Christian Witch for being a humble messenger.  And let's not even get on the subject of Jesus, and what they called him and did to him for doing the will of God......

Can anyone one tell me why the Christopagan faith, which allows you to worship however you see fit individually, and I choose to believe in one God as I do, is an abomination to the Christian God?

You will have to ask God.
I may find this flows easier minus some conjunctions.
