[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My coworker is a lapsed-Catholic turned heathen who worships the old Norse gods. His morals/ethics are very liberal. He meets like-minded people through LARP games and on the Internet, but mostly does solitary practice. He says there isn't much to do beyond sacrifices and he doesn't do those.

A former coworker is a Wiccan and I was shocked how many covens there are in this area. Now I feel like I spot gatherings a few times a year. She said she avoids them, especially if they have male members, because she hates drama. She worships the old Celtic gods and does solitary practice.[/quote]

What strange, sad lives you describe. [/quote]

NP. It's no different, and no more weird than the rituals and mythologies believed by "modern" religions. [/quote]

It is completely and absolutely different. This statement says to me that you know nothing about the gospel of Jesus Christ.[/quote]

Stop being dramatic.  Despite what you believe there is no "right" religion.  I'm a practicing catholic who attended catholic school most of my life and I'm aware enough to know that religion is a function of humans and who knows what, if any, true religion exists. We just function on faith and it is extremely hypocritical to believe my religion is somehow "better" or "more right" than someone else's religion.  [/quote]

I'm not being dramatic, I'm being factual. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." How is it "hypocritical" to know that is correct? Do you even know what the word "hypocritical" means?[/quote]

You know that every religion says they are the way, the truth, and the life, right? The ALL say that?

There are some lovely, humble intelligent people of faith. And then there are some who are so ignorant in their bubble it's baffling. [/quote]

Yes, of course they "all" say that. But only Jesus, factually and historically, came to earth to make it happen.[/quote]

NP here - I have to say, your ignorance is breathtaking.  Wow.[/quote]

Definitely breathtaking.

I am stunned when religious people are so totally stuck in their bubble that they refuse to even glance through the thin, clear layer before them. I think it shows a lack of faith - rather than one that is strong. [/quote]

What's breathtaking is that some of you never miss an opportunity to insult others and your posts are otherwise basically devoid of substance. Let's get back to the topic of paganism, shall we? Do you have any opinions on 12:50's erudite and generally amazing post?[/quote]

Who's insulting anyone? The only post that here that comes close to insulting, is the ignorant and offensive Christian. Not all Christians are ignorant and offensive, but the one who called Pagans "sad" and "strange" certainly is.[/quote]
