    A quick question for all....

    Saturday, October 6, 2007, 01:52 AM CST [General]

    OK....I have had some friends tell me some things bout pagans in general fighting amongst themselves. Shouldn't we be workin toward a common goal? I mean seriously....does fighting solve anything? No it doesnt. It just creates more hostility and violence. Why does this happen? Maybe one thinks they're right and the others think they are wrong? Who knows, but the thing about this is this. WE SHOULD BE WORKIN TOGETHER AND NOT AGAINST EACH OTHER!!! That is what is important isnt it. To be aknogledged by the general populace and not criticized since we fight amongst ourselves? If we worked together towards common goals we should be able to reach them. Yes it may take a while but if you try hard enough I believe that anything can be reached. Petty arguements accomplish nothing, but workin together accomplishes everything. Hell we have the greatest thing at our fingertips. The internet. Why not use it to the full advantage? The general spread of ideas has never been easier yet at the same time it has never been harder cause of ppl tryin to take control or others just wanting to argue. Why is this? We all know christianity is unfortunately the majority in most countries. We should all look past this. According to christians...anything that isnt christianity is paganism. We should be all workin together. Everyone is equal in this. Be it wicca or asatru or shinto or druidism or just a simple kitchen witch. We must stand up for what we believe in, but also not against each other. We are all classified as pagans cause its not christianity. I hope this hasnt come off as a common rant and I hope to hear everyone's opinion on this. Long or small all is appreciated. One last thing before I dissapear. Please think things through before flaming someone that dissagrees with what you say as they probably have a reason. Why not ask what the reason is before going "you're wrong and im right" . Remember everyone is a individual and may think differently then youself.

    Have a great night all and I hope this blog post will have a effect on multiple ppl ^^

    Hello, I just wanted to say that your post is very relevant as to what I see and hear is happening within many communities at the moment. There is an elitist fraction I believe which is silly because we are all equal.
    Nice post Darkside

    My last two post were about this exact topic. My group here in Japan is breaking up for that very reason and I'm so upset about it. You'd think that being stuck on a small, right winged, military base in the middle of a foreign country that we'd find a way to pull together wouldn't you?

    well the way I see it some of the Pagans that think they know it all or their path is the only way kinda are acting like the Christains they seem to riducle. There is no right or wrong, there is no one person or persons that have all the answers. The main thing I learned on this path was we never stop learning. If your on a Path for the glory and power its a false one anyway. Pagans are suppose to be healing the Earth and alot of other good things. How can we heal anything when we cant seem to stop the hate and wars between us. I feel sorry for them they just dont get it. This path is simple, we learn, we share, we are honorable, we keep our oaths and we show kindness to each other. anything less I would do would show disrespect to my Ancestors. This path is hard enough dealing with those that still hate us and call us devil worshiping Demons without all the strife going on in our own Pagan
    communities.

    thank you for sharing your thoughts, this was a great post.

    blessings & hugs
