Where is the proof that New Age, Pagan and other alternative religious thoughts lead a person into ‘darkness?’

Where is the proof that the mainstream church has all the answers, whether the denomination be Protestant or Catholic?

Where is the proof that the Divine Essence chooses one religion over another?

Where is the proof that non-Christians in general are supposedly ‘infidels?’

This woman spent 25 yrs in the New Age community, embraced its ideals, then returned to the Catholic church after feeling that Mother Mary was a real person, not a Goddess-figure. That’s fine enough, but to completely condemn the very philosophies she so heartily embraced for a good amount of time? Very odd, indeed. Even I, as a former Christian, still respect the well-balanced and compassionate Christians that are out there, even though I might disagree with Christianity’s dogmas and theologies.

I believe one can follow a Christed/Enlightened path and still participate in astrology, reiki, tai chi and other alternative thought-forms. I’ve even encountered those who call themselves ‘Christo-Pagans.’ So don’t pee on my mystical leg and tell me it’s rainin’ “hellfire-n-damnation.”
