Most annoying Pagan arguments?

cavedave · 2009-11-14 22:19:24

I started a thread here on what pagan arguments annoy people. If there is some pagan argument you regularly hear that annoys you or if you can rebut some of the common complaints please post there. I trust the godless heathen *atheists will remain civil so please do not take this as an insult.

By claiming pagans are godless you are insulting, pagans do believe in Gods so your comment is contradictory. Religious intolerance annoys me!

Well the very common misconception that paginism means being Godless or somehow backward.It couldnt be farther from the truth-some pagan traditions are really lovely especially the Samhain festival.

I for one am appalled by the Christianisation of Yule...

I did not mean to imply pagans were godless. My understanding of paganism is that it believes in many gods. The "godless heathens" i was referring to were the atheists where the conversation is hopefully taking place

Heathen, rather than pagan, is also the generally prefered term for Asatruar, and we have plenty of Gods (and Goddesses for that matter) too
