Pagans out there?

ha ha I don't go looking for religious discussions because everyone is so hypersensitive about their religion. I, too, have been preached at and how found that I have amazing control of keeping my mouth shut during those times. Only because I have respect for other religions and knowing each person has to find their own path. With that said, I am also Pagan. So, Merry Meet! :)

I'm not pagan, but it's a religion that I really like. (I'm fascinated by religions - was studying them at university) I'm agnostic, and I pick and choose different parts from different religions that I either a) agree with or b) find fun! I started doing a Wicca 'course', but unfortunately all sorts of things got in the way so I havent got very far with that yet. So in fact I know very little about Wicca - but what I do know I like! Anyway, I empathise with the being preached at scenario. When I was at school I used to receive letters saying 'we are praying for you'. I would say 'thanks - I appreciate that - I shall pray for you too!'. I was also for some odd reason known as the local witch. So people preaching at me doesn't even penetrate anyone. I sometimes find it funny, but more often I feel a bit sad for the people doing it.

*waves* Fellow pagan here. Have been since I was about 14 years old =) I personally love getting into religious discussions with the zealots because most of them do not know that book that they thump around as well as they claim! It is funny to see the response you get when you quote something from the bible that they were not aware of and did not think that you knew. Anywhoo.....I think that went off on a tangent but I am sure that there are many pagans out there. Thank goddess the internet or I would have gone beserk when I chose a different path!
