What a great question! Most of the Pagans in my contact list are respectful~ I dont keep them there long if they are not!
We need to let people realise that we respect their views and allow them the right to ask questions in peace free from ridicule.
We need to show others that we are nice people and do away with the old stereotypes!
Now if i were to reverse the question and answer about the christians who have earnt my respect....i will forget many and for this i apologise but~ Gnostic ~ Susan J~ Debra M~ Angel eyes ~Tiger lilly.
They have earned my respect by not intruding, by treating me and my fellow pagans with love and respect and by just being nice people!
Great Question!

Well, if you are a pagan, I have respect for you. You have been asking legitimate questions. Frankly I am very impressed with the pagans and wiccans who I have seen here. It seems that most of the problems on this site come from people claiming to be Christian, atheist and agnostic. Of course, not all of them. Seems to be a bad rivalry between the immature Christians and the immature atheists/agnostics. Like turf war or something between street gangs.

There are, although I can't give you their nicknames. It's not that they're not worth remembering, it's just that I have a terrible memory. There are more than a few pagans, however, that give very insightful answers and are very respectful. I had a question on my other nickname (now gone forever, sadly) that had a few very good pagan and atheist answers. I wish I could get that one back.

I am not sure who on here is pagan. But I have respect for people that will write an intelligent answer about their beliefs, without bashing the heck out of mine.
It is the ones that write the ridiculing remarks that I cannot abide.

Not in YA but in real life I've seen pagans and yes I do respect them.
So far the pagans I know don't get into other people's beliefs. They're pretty independent and non-intrusive.

I have no automatic disrepect for pegans. I don't have a lot of information on what paganism actually is, but I have a feeling that if I looked deep into the subject, I'd see common threads between it and Christianity (and all religons). I think each faith is just part of a bigger faith.

I'm living my own life trying to prepare for the second coming of Jesus. I could care less about other religions. Don't bother me and I won't bother you.
If you want to be a Pagan, Atheist or Hindu. That is your choice. I have no authority to condemn anybody. We should leave that up to God.

I am an Atheist and i have seen no pagans that have earned my respect. More far fetched then Christianity.

I respect every human being because they are created in God's image.
James 3:7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. 10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
