Guest guest Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 Sorry, in the previous message I asked a question you did not ask. That is very poor form. To make amends: it depends upon which sense of the word "pagan" is being used. If you're coming from a pagan-approving place, it's a joyful word, meaning those who have cast off the entraping limitations of an official religion. If you're within an official religion, it's a word of disapproval indicating anyone who follows scriptures not your own. There is no set pagan scripture, thank all that is good. Otherwise we'd be stuck with just another official, profit taking religious franchise. I direct your attention to Africa, where today war officially rages (I refer specifically to today's Al Qaeda announcement) in the name of scripture. In this country we refer to a situation like that as "a crock of shit." I'd rather be around wiccans and pagans (in the joyful sense) anyday. They may get a bit batty but it's safe to turn your back on them. s Kali_Ma, "Scott Hutton <hmshutton>" <hmshutton> wrote: > Whatever text contains the ring of truth. They listen for > themselves.
