Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 funny how cultures are different that seem so similar in so many regards i don't think i've ever heard much talk about religious subjects any place i've ever worked(besides x-mas..and not sure how much a religious connotation that holds anymore compared to the commercial aspects) none of my immediate *family*(by family i mean companions, friends, etc) ever talks about anything religious..except in the negative fashion(for the most part) and yet from polls and news items, we over here are suppose t o be ultra-religious and such.... maybe they only interview ppl in ohio and iowa.....

It was quite jolly at work today as there are three Pagans on my floor - lots of Solstice chat. BBJo - Peter Tuesday, June 21, 2005 7:31 AM Fw: Grrrrr I'm a bit astonished by what I just heard on the news... on the article on the summer solstice, they actually stated that "for Pagans the summer solstice marks the re-birth of the sun". So, which "researcher" typed in "solstice" on google, and forgot to check which solstice they were looking at? I can't help wondering what sort of uproar there would be if they stated that "for Christians, Christmas marks the death of Jesus"???

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 That's interesting. I think may Pagans area talkative lot though - they seem to be here, and most people who aren't Pagan seem to be fairly interested anyway.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 There's hardly any of that here. Maybe the Hare Krishna chap is a bit set in his ways - can't equate to anything else, but most people are okay.
