There are so many Christian "experts" on the subject of Paganism... some claiming to have been part of a "cult" or having been "seduced". Many of these people have already been proved to be frauds, but still, they are the ones to go to when a Christian wants to know about the occult, Wicca, Paganism or Satanism.
These people warn that we Pagans are out to harm or ritually kill children, that we practice orgiastic sex, and whatever other manner of sickness. Christians believe them. In fact, we're being accused of doing just what the Christians were early on.
There are other "experts" that may have bought a book by LaVey, Buckland or Starhawk and believe that one or two books makes them an expert. That would be like reading the Proverbs, Genesis and Revelations and claiming expert status on Christianity.
Why can't Christians go to Pagans to understand Paganism? Why do they instead go to Christians with dubious credentials?
