[quote="Fluffy_Bunny":202e5]Soz, just thought it was a bit wierd worshipping Greek Gods...

So what's the attraction with, paganism I take it? I'm the narrow minded type that would think that people who worshipped the undead etc were Goths or something & would only do it because it's "cool" or because all their friends do it &tc. By all means prove me wrong, but I find this so bizarre I just don't understand & can't think of any other reason why. Is it because it's trendy & different? It's in fashion? Peer pressure? Or do you generally worship & believe in Pagan/Greek Gods? Pagan woship is the Devil ya?[/quote:202e5]

Those are all common misconseptions. Most Pagans are not goths. And if a they were goth, usually give up the look or give up the religion. Paganism has nothing to do with the undead or Satan. Paganism is symply any polythesistic religion(including Hinduism and Buddhism). Almost all Pagan religions are heavily Earth based, meaning all parts of the universe are equal parts of nature and should be treated accordingly. There is nothing dark or evil about any aspect of it. Also becoming a Wicca is a choice that one can make only by themselves. It does require alot of work so anyone that was pressured to join usually drops the religion within the first year. Wicca is completely open ended. You can worship any Deities you want along with the God and Goddess. Some former Christians choose to worship Abraham's God along with other Deities. Also Pagans do not believe in any sort of devil/evil diety.

I hope that helped to explain Paganism a little. Any other questions?
