That's simply because Pagans don't have closed minds. In fact, the average Pagan is quite open-minded, as opposed to the god-in-a-box faiths who refuse to study sincerely anything other than a single book for insight into the world.
Pagans recognize that any book that can contain all that is needed to be known about God must be imperfect, and therefore, the god described therein cannot be sufficient either.
Deity must be experienced to be known, and that knowledge is not the sort that can be contained in a book. We open our minds and hearts to deity. Christians typically close their minds around a book and feel that sufficient. If it's not in "the" book, it's not true to them. That, by definition is a closed mind. an open mind seeks ansers. A closed mind feels they know all the answers, or know where those answers are.

Why can't close-minded christians see that their religion is direct plagiarism from the Pagan mysteries.
The only defense the church has for this copying is "diabolical mimicry" - that the devil knew Jesus was coming and imitated every aspect of the story in various pagan savior-gods thousands of years before.
It's such a pathetic explanation it is amazing most christians don't see through it - but then most christians don't even know about it... pagans were demonized for a reason.

I don't find this the least bit funny.
As a Christian with a lot of Pagan friends, I don't appreciate them being mistreated.
Have you ever considered that maybe they are doing God's will? Maybe they are Pagan just to TEST us Christians. To see if we are following his word. Treat EVERYONE with kindness.

Maybe they read this verses:
Psalms 82:1 God standeth in the congregation of God; He judgeth among the gods.
Psalms 82:6 I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.

One True God....
One called Jesus
One called Yahweh
One called the Holy Spirit
One plus One plus One = one.

They can.
They have the Lord and the Lady in the same way that christians have the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Call it what you will, it's still one god.
It must be the same one god because it sits in the same position and created everything.

Why can't close-minded Christians see that there are many Gods and Goddesses?

All is One, there is no Other
why can't some monotheists see that the divinity of All does not need to be explained to some as a personified being?

Because, just like you, they have the right to worship and believe whatever they want to. It's freedom of choice and freedom of religion.That's why it's called a DEMOCRATIC society. God himself, gave everyone the choice.
