I reckon these Pagans

[jacquelyne]

Are full of shit.Have any of you actually been christened or baptised or whatever they do at birth or from the choice of your parents?
Or do u all just turn pagan when your older to say that you are pagan.Do u all get 8 seperate days off for pagan holidays depending on weather u are in the norther or southern hemisphere ? Do u do any rituals on those holidays ? Im interested if anyone is actually genuine and been practicing paganism for generations in thier family.

Pagan's are just any non christ worshipping or Yahweh worshipping religion so I'de say yes alot do .

1. [n] a person who does not acknowledge your God
2. [adj] not acknowledging the God of Christianity and Judaism and Islam

Pagan's are Wiccan's AND every other religion on the planet Unless their Islamic Christian or Judaic. So yep alot do get time off and do their "rituals".

Shoot I"d like to join them all and get those days off though he he.

I know of several Native American families that still celebrate the "great spirit" and do those rituals but I'm not one . (and yes they take time off school and work for them and don't get fired or in trouble etc.)

I personally just take every day I can off and do my own personal religion , read.... I worship knowledge in all its forms , no official holiday or baptism though, unless you count paper cuts....

I know of catholics or whatever that say there pagan now.Why the fuck is that ?
U cant just wake up one morning and be of a pagan.Theres just alot i dont understand and its the fastest growing religion in this country.I do believe in alot of the folklore with the ancient celtic pagans but thats all.

pagans arent necessarily wiccans. there are many pagan traditions! go to www.witchvox.com if you want to know more

Those that wake up one morning and say, "Oh, I'm pagan." are probably wanting attention. That's my guess. I was Catholic at one time, but it took me atleast a year to convert to Paganism. It's crazy as shit, having your whole family telling you what to believe, and trying to make you go back onto their religious path. If you want, I could tell you all the crazy shit that's happened to me, religious wise and what not.

well, dont forget that Haloween is a Pagan festival, and from experience, must of you god-fearing Americans love to celebreate that one!! And Easter eggs, thats pagan too!

[stoner spirit]

Very true.

All i can say is im a strong believer in God but no way am i religious, I just can fathom how anyone would be a pagan.

Well, I was raised with a very strong environmental ethic (like most religious upbrinings are raised with a strong biblical ethic...). So, I have been an Earth worshiper my whole life (a mere 21 years...). But, I have respected all creeds all my life. My girlfriend is catholic, and I couldn't love her more. To me, I can't fathom how any can believe in something that just seems intangible, like a big mystery in the sky (I haven't had any experience with God or Mary, none of that). The Earth is something that is there, that you ground your feet on, that gives you food, and herb to smoke, you know? I am just not convinced. But, that doesn't mean I disregard it as shit. I respect it as much as I respect my own creed. I get a lot out of meditating with just the sound of the desert wind whisping the scent of ponderosa pine into my thoughts. I just feel so connected, it is undescribeable. Nice question though, hope you learn a lot from us Earth worshipers... Ohh, I guess I would call myself something that is a mix of Buddhism, Paganism, and Pantheism. I am not to much into worshiping dieties, but mainly Mother Earth and the Universe. They are my "God".

I don't get any extra days off. But, I don't have to pay to go worship in the forest. There are some places in the National Forest System lands that you have to pay a user fee. But, those that go out for religious purposes don't have to pay. That is my only break. Aside from that, I follow what the US follows which is a predominantly Christian calendar.
