Well, do you hate us or not?
(ps: anyone who says yes or quotes the bible sucks and can't be bothered to do a little research on someone's beliefs before insulting them while looking like an idiot)
(pps: although if you can give me a decent reason like your mother was brutally murdered by the twisted moronic cults who call themselves wiccan just so they can gossip about the apocalypse over cake and wine [not real wiccans, just b@stards using our name to start a satanic subculture] when you were 6, then i might have some understanding, but the blasphemy argument won't fly here, so if you can't say anything else, don't say anything at all. i bid you good day and i beg you goodbye. now, anyone with a lick of intelegance can feel free to stay! please take a cookie! *hands cookie* ^ ^ don't forget the free coffee by the door and have a nice day!)

I thought pagans basically worshipped mother earth, and try to live in harmony with all things natural?
So how can Satanists be pagans? Satan was released into the world at the same time as Jesus, right? And Jesus died two thousand and 6 years ago (give or take a year or two depending on your calendar)? So if Satan has only been around that long, how can he presume to call himself pagan, when the Pagan religion precedes him by 10's of thousands of years? And although some old practises of paganism required the sacrifice of animals (and sometimes humans) to their Deity(s), again why should this be linked with Satanism? Satanism is the devil's desire to throw down Christianity, and sunder Christ from humanity, yes?
So, as far as I can tell, Paganism IS NOT Satanism. And Satanism IS NOT Pagan.

Well, I really don't know many pagans, but the ones I have known have been pretty nice people, overall.
*takes the coffee and free cookie* Thanks, I was kind of in the mood for a snack, actually = ).
Other than that, I really don't have much of an opinion on them, since most of the people I am associated with are either Christian or spiritual-but-not-religious. Though, I can say that they are usually pretty intelligent and really know and understand the paths they have chosen and have great deals of conviction about their beliefs.

I'm a Satanist, therefore, Pagan. I don't hate Wiccans, but what I see from you is a "Holier than thou" attitude. Which I unfortunately encounter frequently with Wiccans. But hey, it's your life. Why would you give a flying fvck about people's opinions?
-"do a little research on someone's beliefs before insulting them while looking like an idiot)" "not real wiccans, just b@stards using our name to start a satanic subculture"-
Perhaps you should take some of your own advice before insulting Satanists. I'm betting you haven't a clue.

I am an Occultist and would be honored to stand among Pagans. the culture and understanding of things is simple. The principles involved in the ritual of Pagans happens to be complete for the most part. Occassionally fluff bunnies forget to end a ritual and such, but the true believers know magick.

As I'm Pagan and learning Wicca, I don't hate Pagans as a whole. There are Pagan individuals whom I'd dislike, but I can't really say that I'll ever hate anyone. Even when I was a Christian, I thought of Pagans simply as people who had different beliefs. Now, I think of them as people who share many of mine.
Blessed be

My but we're angry today! I suggest we step over to the counter, dump that pot of coffee and replace it with decaf. And instead of chocolate chip cookies, let's set out a plateful of my homemade cinnamon rolls - 'cause chocolate also has lots of caffiene in it. Then let's you and me and your Pagan friends sit down and discuss the topic of anger management. Once we've got you over that major hurdle, we'll discuss how Pagans can interact with others without the fear and fireworks. It'll involve a bit of an attitude adjustment on both sides...

No, I do not hate you.
I am a Christian and while I may not agree with some of the ways ... that definitely does not mean I hate you.
I am a very blessed person in the sense that I can separate the action from the person. I have never said that I hated anyone. I have stated that I hated what they did. There is a difference.

No, I love the Pagan movement. I was born into Christianity, and greatly respect Jesus, he was about as perfect as they come.
But I think paganism is great because it gives the eternal mother the long due respect that was forgotten and brings us back to our roots as humans.

though i don't believe in any religion i find all pagan religions equally fascinating. i would love to learn more about them all. if i ever find a practicing wiccan or some other pagan i wouldn't hate them but instead want to learn from them.
