Someone said they disagreed with the pagan "life style"?

Question

I'm just wondering what that is......

Oh it didn't offend me. Made me laugh though. Some people's ignorance amazes me

Answer 1

LOL . . . I'm a schoolteacher . . . I know a Wiccan HP who's a SWAT medic and whose Pagan husband is a detective and her PD's range coach . . . another pagan who's an actual rocket scientist---a REAL one . . .

Yeah, okay, I know some who never miss Burning Man, too. *G*

"Lifestyle." *snerk*

Answer 2

I think in actuality while we all lead very different lives, have different careers and enjoy different things there are some similarities in the Pagan lifestyle, but not the way they are implying. We never go through a day without making sure we have done as much as we can to keep the Earth alive another day. We always enjoy the feeling of the world around us and are able to appreciate the beauty of our planet. We don't just live life, we experience it each and every day. We show acceptance everyday and respect for others. Yes, this is the Pagan lifestyle and I'm proud of it.

Answer 3

Paganism is an umbrella term for fairly some religious paths that are basicall non-xian, non-jewish, non-muslim). Pagan ideals existed in simple terms before xianity and a few human beings nevertheless follow the "previous god/dess(es)" in an attempt to communicate. There are as many Pagan paths as there are Pagans even with the incontrovertible fact that, so in case you desire to be responsive to what this guy means by employing "Pagan life" then ask him. Pagans are often (that is relatively primary) people who stay following the cycles of the earth (seasons), are Earth/Nature friendly, and have faith very plenty in treating human beings as they had desire to be dealt with (harm none). Ask approximately it...you are going to be able to discover it exciting or a turnoff, yet do no longer come to a selection until you relatively be responsive to. ?

Answer 4

Pagan lifestyle? They are just jealous we get to dance around in the woods naked with hot pagan men and women! I get some of those roman pagans have come crazy parties too!

Hehe

Last I checked there was not a particular "lifestyle" that pagans had, they are normal people from all walks of life who just have a different religious view.

Sitting at a bar in downtown Campbell, sipping a black and tan, while reading Children of Men (PD James).

Suddenly I am distracted by the opening chords of Strauss' _Also Spake Zarathustra_ playing in my head. I look up.

A young man with very blond, short hair and a sports jersey has just started talking to his friends about the weirdo with the long hair that brought a book to the bar.
"Hey. Hey man. Whatcha reading?"

"Children of Man; the bestselling novel that inspired the British movie."

"Oh. Yeah I saw that. Actually that was pretty cool. Do you think that could ever happen?"
I join them at their table. We talk for well over an hour before I go home to my Honey.
They ask me why I brought a book to the bar, "Because I will not meet interesting people reading at home." We all laugh. "Besides, it is a good book and the day is gorgeous. This is my version of going to church."

"Wow. If my church were like that, I never would have stopped going!"

As I walk away I hear the sound of tympani drums in my inner ear. A few members of mankind (including myself) have just taken one more step towards a better world.

Answer 6

There really is no such thing as a Pagan 'lifestyle.' Pagans are all very different from each other, so they live their lives differently. Pagans live their lives respecting nature, essentially. Other than that, it's really difficult to specify any type of Pagan 'lifestyle.' And who can disagree with respecting nature?

Answer 7

Like the fact that ALL religions are nothing more than run offs of the Pagans?

I agree the thought just makes me laugh to at people disagreeing with the "life style." This video was a big eye opener for me...

Answer 8

Although many Christians - unknowingly - work side by side with a Pagan or two, admire great art work of Pagans, enjoy written words of Pagans, seek medical and psychiatric assistance from Pagan doctors, purchase clothing designed by Pagans,......and the list goes on and on, I wonder exactly what part of a Pagan's lifestyle one might disagree upon?
Perhaps, on upcoming Pagan Good Friday, we might inquire of our Christian friends to explain precisely what it is we do that they disagree with. Provide evidence of such activities.
Gotta love em!

Answer 9

Some people consider a Pagan spiritual path to be an "alternative lifestyle". I guess the thought that someone else believes something without having it crammed down their throats threatens their shaky beliefs. That's my experience anyway. I'm sure that's not always true though. Bright Blessings to you and yours!

Answer 10

Weeeee, i think they just don't like our freedom. Our rules are easy. These Eight words the Rede fulfill: "An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"
They have to actually go somewhere once maybe twice a week and listen to some pompous man lecture them and scare the poop out of them. We are exploring mysteries and talking to our Lady one on one, not through prayer, hoping she will hear us, but through the magicks that we discover and the blessings that she gives us

Answer 11

Pagan lifestyle?
What they disagree with is the fact that we can worship with our eyes open and view the world that way.
We are open to life, nature, and the natural way. Not worshiping the way our parents or our grandparents did because we were told that we should.
We are not afraid of the christian hell or devil because why indeed would our creator make something pure evil to punish us when it was the creator that gave us the free will in life.
