lookin at your tags, my guess is that you are making that statement to make Pagans look bad. people do not become Pagan in order to live a life free of restrictions. many Pagans (there are a lot of different religions falling under the term Pagan) have very strict moral codes that they strive daily to live up to. a prime example being the Nine Noble Virtues of Asatru. even the seemingly loose standard laid out in Wicca, if it harms none, do as you will, is MUCH more complex than it seems. because it doesn't literally mean, do what you want as long as it doesn't hurt anybody. it's bigger than that. what you WANT and what you WILL are two very different things. to live life by your WILL is harder than it sounds. most Pagans recognise the importance of personal responsibility, and living well. The Nine Noble Virtues COURAGE By facing Iife's struggles with courage, we constantly extend our capabilities. Without courage, nothing else can be done! TRUTH Blind faith has no place in Asatru. No pie-in-the-sky; we must act in this world as we see it and as it really is rather than calmly wait for the next HONOR We must be true to what we are, and we insist on acting with nobility rather than baseness. Our standards must be banners held high in our hearts. FIDELITY We stand true to our faith and our values. Loyalty is the basis for all enduring human activity, and we hold it in the highest esteem. HOSPITALITY The isolation and loneliness of modern life is not necessary. The willingness to share what one has with ones' fellows, especially travelers, is a vital part of our way of life. DISCIPLINE We hold to the discipline necessary to fulfill our purpose. We stand willing to exercise the self-control and steadfastness necessary in these difficult times. INDUSTRIOUSNESS Let us dare to be all that we can be! Let us take risks and taste the richness of life. Passivity is for sheep. We refuse to be mere spectators in life. SELF-RELIANCE We depend on our own strength and character to achieve our goals. We seek only the freedom necessary to our quest, whatever it may be. PERSEVERANCE We hold to our path until its completion and are not ashamed to be strong. The cult of the anti-hero will find no support in us, and the gods we follow are not for the weak. can you honestly say you can live up to such a code? each and every day? while I am not Asatru, this moral code has become a part of my own family tradition somewhere along the way, and it's a good, strong, meaningful moral code to live by. so if you're looking for an easy life with no moral code, then Paganism is not the religion for you.

I have chosen non denominational because I have one religion and that is with God only.. There is only one! The way that God intended it to be!
