paganism User24 I would like to be a pagan. I just don't know enough about it, and all the information about it seems wrong. Surely the whole idea is to respect Earth, and give reason for Earth to respect you. Or is that not paganism? In fact, the word 'pagan' was coined by the romans during the occupation of England, where anybody who didn't belive in Christianity, or had other, native beliefs was called a pagan, hence, modern paganism has elemnets of celtic, druid and other beliefs. 030324 ... phil Paganism is not a religion. 030328 ... phil you are a pagan. 030328 ... User24 is that directed at me? If so, what makes you say that? 030328 ... phil Because you want to be one, that clearly makes you one. 030329 ... User24 very interesting...

(ahem.) miscellaneous_pagan just doesn't seem at all right these days... 040322 ... The Watcher The Valley Girl Pagan huh... 040531 ... jane now i'm interested. 070924 ... unhinged i met a pagan at the bookstore. books on buddhism and paganism are in the same alcove at the store i met him at. he was some keeper of some kind of light and said he felt like killing igornant people because they came to him asking for it....he said he knew it was wrong so he didn't do it but he was having trouble controlling his impulses. that's a lot to tell someone you bumped into in the bookstore because her religious books are next to your religious books. we scared a lot of people in the bookstore that day. personally, i think he was a schizo pagan. literally schizo. 070925 what's it to you? who go blather from
