Why yes i do . I am one of those.
A Pagan is a nature worshiper in the simplest answer.
And the Christian GOD wants them to take care of this Planet also.
Tell them to read all of Genesis. its there in black and white with no other interpretation possible.

Absolutely. Isn't God all things and the creator of everything?
The only problem with Paganism is that strictly focusing on ritual instead of using the Pagan perspective to enhance your personal spiritual relationship with your higher power is just as bad as any other religion without the same priorities.
Using Pagan ideology to help you see and acknowledge the world around you as created by God and using the spells and rituals as a meditation to conduct your conversation with God is the most powerful experience you can get from Paganism.
Getting wrapped up in the desire to be different from other religions, worship rather than admire God's handiwork of creating nature, and getting caught up in the more "witchy" aspects will make your experience just as self-righteous, pompous, pretentious, and irrelevant to God as the religions you are rejecting.

This is a really dumb question. Pagans believe in many gods and goddesses. Many things make a person pagan. Do some research.

Absolutely.
Pagans are, by definition, polytheistic (i.e. they worship multiple gods). Adding another god to the mix, in this case the Judeo-Christian God, would be no problem at all.

yes a pagan can have the abrahamic God aswell as many others do as the christians did take what you want from the bible and leave the rest for someone else to clean up :)

Hon
Someone who is pagan believes and practices natural or polytheistic religions (more than one god) as opposed to Abrahamic monotheistic relitions (only one god). Most people use the term derogatorily because these people do not believe in the Christ. I have found an excellent source for you....

Of course. Just because one is pagan does not mean that they do not believe in god. Yes, they do believe in gods, many gods. They worship and preform cermonies. It is a religion.

I dont think so, a pagan i believe is a person who doesnt worship God, like statues, the dead, anything really, someone could have as many Gods as there are days of the year, either give up paganism or believe in True Love/our creator/Jesus, you can't have both, Bible says that.

I grew up with polytheistic (pagan) beliefs. I believe in more than one deity. Although I believe in many deities, I only worship several. I believe that the abrahamic god, hindu gods, roman gods, egyptian gods, etc exist but they are not in my pantheon so I don't worship them. Still, I respect those who do.
