What good qualities do they have (in general)? What bad qualities do they have (in general)? Any particular branch do you feel is better?

i love us!
good - we are generally very accepting of other people's beliefs and don't push our religion onto anyone. we treat all of nature with respect. we don't think we're above nature, we're part of it. many pagans are very educated on different religions of the world. but most importantly, we're great drummers!
bad - many wannabe pagans are "fluffy bunnies" - you know, the teenagers who think it's "cool" and want to freak people out (but that's not a negative quality of pagans, since they aren't actually pagan)
i've met many pagans from many different paths, they are all unique, but share the same core values, so i can't say that one path is better than another

Good qualities and bad qualities are limited to the people who practice the religion, not the religion itself. I have pagan friends who are kind, caring and good people, and I know others who I would rather avoid, just like any other group of people. Asking if there is a branch that's better is asking whether one should be a Calvinist or a Pentecostal. It's all about what you're looking for and how you feel about what each specific group believes and how they act. I'm linking a good site for research.

Wow, various the solutions right here...properly. Yeah. My opinion? i'm Pagan. there is people who supply Paganism a sturdy call, and then there is people who supply it a undesirable call. There fundamentalists in each faith, and there's a few posers, too. there is a few who appreciate all theory structures and a few who appreciate maximum yet reject some. (maximum in all likelihood by way of undesirable studies or the followers. confident, i would be generalizing and making assumptions, i'm sorry if i'm.) that is my opinion. :D

They are people just like you and myself (and one is my wonderful wife). Their qualities shouldn't be judged on their beliefs and NO generalizations should be made of any group of people. Let me ask you what your opinion is on Asians "good qualities and bad qualities" would that not be wrong? These questions are ridiculous.

I think Pagans and Wiccans tend to be among the most accepting and spiritual people I see on this board. If I could be a believer, I think I'd like to be one of them.

Good qualities--every now and then you'll find one who doesn't have some deep seeded hatred for men and for people in general.
Bad qualities--They think that 'not hurting someone' is the answer to peace in the world. But, if they do something to offend you then they deserve everything you throw at them.

paganism is a umbrella term meaning not of the judio christian and muslim religions. so i say all pagan beliefs are better than christianity will ever be. wicca is for kids in my book but then again wicca is just another religion that believes in a higher power and nature like most non christian and muslim religions are.

They are Nature loving people; they believe in both Mother and Father god. It is the marriage of Mother and Father that makes the Holy Spirit- A spirit that is whole. That means having your mind and heart in a union. read " Mother God" by Sylvia Browne. blessings.

How dare those heathens worship things that actually exist (the sun, the moon, nature, etc)!
