But it isn't my decision.<BR/>Yeah, most parts of paganism have as much in common with each other as we have with Islam. It's like lumping atheist and agnostic together, no one in either group knows why people do it and both probably wish people would stop.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264241978515946396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-42059581690375922112009-03-18T12:20:00.000-04:002009-03-18T12:20:00.000-04:00Blows my mind, too.

Did you click on the link to the "symbol v. nonsymbol symbol" argument? Herding cats, indeed.<BR/><BR/>I never thought of the similarity, but pagans do seem to have the same basic organizational issues. Probably because "pagan" covers such a wide variety of belief. You and my other two pagan favorites have virtually nothing in common in terms of belief, other than you have beliefs and they are decidedly not christian.PersonalFailurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034292023591747601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1334761054277672365.post-22336514875437340032009-03-18T12:04:00.000-04:002009-03-18T12:04:00.000-04:00I really don't get why these people keep talking a...I really don't get why these people keep talking about how atheists "defy" god. I've read a number of atheist blogs for a while now and no one seems to be defying anything. I know it's not as much fun, but there you go. Atheists just seem like a bunch of folks who have the same basic organizational problems pagans do (this is what happens when idependant thinkers of any kind get together). I believe these people need to realize that "defy" and "unbelief" are not the same thing.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264241978515946396noreply@blogger.com
