My $0.02 -

When I lurk around various Pagan sites, I see a lot of Christian bashing. Now granted, there's a long, historical beef between Christians and "witches", but c'mon. Not every single Christian on the face of the earth thinks that Pagans are eeeeeeeeeeebil and want to lock them away. At least *I* don't.

Let's see. There's the "I'm so oppressed" crowd, who occasionally try to persuade me that I'm oppressed too.

The "I can do whatever I want and call it religion 'cause there are no standards or obligations, and I certainly have no need for discipline!" crowd.

The "you have to be tolerant, which means you can't disagree with my drivel" sorts.

The "my religion is peace, love, and acceptance of EVERYONE EXCEPT THOSE CHRISTIANS AND THOSE SATANISTS AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO DON'T FOLLOW THE REDE AND . . . ."

That should do for now.

I'd say you covered your bases pretty thoroughly and in a much less verbose way than some (read me) tend to communicate. Well done.

Magick. Magik. Magikkeh. Majick. Magikkh. Maghycke.
I now it's only a couple of letters but still.

Also the bashing of other religions, especially Christianity.
Strict rules on silly things such as eating meat or shaving (which real wytches don't do). I've even been attacked because I don't use an athame but hey, I'm Pagan and that doth not equal Wiccan.

Dunno. My biggest pet peeve is people who tell me that, because I'm pagan, I must be wiccan and why don't I do this long list of things wiccans do?

Then there are the wiccans who say that pagans are all disorganized hate-mongers who call themselves pagan so that they can get away with anything and everything.

...and then there are the pagans who prove them right... -_-

All Pagans love nature! You're a bad, bad Pagan if you don't make nature loving your top priority! OMG! What's wrong with you?! It's all about Mother Earth remember?!?

*Stops, looks at new username and icon* Er, now that I think about it, that may have been a more effective rant before I assumed a new username based on a tree.
