I am so sorry, norseman, for the oppression of your and all your fellow pagans' beliefs. I consider myself a follower of Jesus though I don't identify myself as a Christian any longer for these very reasons. Jesus did not give us authority to murder and persecute anyone for their beliefs or for any reason at all for that matter and it saddens and sickens me when I see how largely accepted it is when people calling themselves Christians do these things. Every choice in life is a beautiful choice for we were all given free will by our creator and though I personally think following Jesus is the best way to enlighten myself, I also think other beliefs are what makes this world such a diverse, unique, and awesome place.

"one of the biggest threats to western civilisation"

Now somebody is being a big drama queen. How utterly ridiculous.
Personally if I were of the Pagan Faith myself, I would consider that as religious discrimination.

LOL this person is weak and a clown. Christianity doesn't like it when people celebrate pagan traditions. How can dressing up and baking cakes be a threat to Western civilisation? Anyway civilisation in the West started long before Christianity.

Bashing other religions has been going on for millennia.

If they're working evil, one is entitled to speak out, even has a duty to I could say.

But just following a different belief system?
The purpose of any faith is, or should be, to make 'you' a better, kinder person; to exalt your soul; to bring you closer to God.
There are many faiths and each one has their 'style' and customs, which will appeal and work for some, but not others.

NDEs underline this fact repeatedly, what religion you've followed is not relevant, it's how you've lived your life that is the all-important issue.

This.

That's one thing I don't like about organized Christianity. The ignorance and paranoia. The whole idea that anyone other than Christians are some sort of terrorist/extremist.
