Default Pagans VS Christians
What do you think about the Pagan/Christian relationship?



Should religions be allowed to butt heads? Should Paganism and Christianity be permitted to "fight it out" (verbally, not necessarily physically), or should we learn to play nice together?

Personally i think a bit of both. It's going to be impossible for us to play nice fully, since we have such opposing philosophies. However we can be civil to one another. I also thinking duking it out (verbally) can be great. Only though proper debate can you truely understand you religion.

I agree that both are nice. They should be able to debate each other--much can be learned from it. They should certainly be civil about it, though. When the boxing gloves are off, why can't they be friends?

It depends. Some Christians are hostile towards Pagans on site, and some Pagans are hostile towards Christians on site.
Some can get along, but have strong disagreements, while some get along and do not have any disagreements.
I have been introduced to an Episcopal priest who preaches that there is no Hell, and everyone has there own path to God. He also did jokingly say he should put a "UU" above his church sign.

I think the two religions are totally incompatible and oppose each other, but that does not mean we can't be civil to each other. I dislike the religion, but in general I like the people. At least the ones I've met here on RF. I have met some in real life that totally scared me and gave me the creeps.

I think the animosity between the two is silly. Most will focus on the differences rather than celebrate the similarities.

Peace and Love

The Christian part of me is a perfect compliment to the Pagan part of me. They dance naked together in moonlit fields underneath oak trees. Once the religious clothing is removed, there is really little difference.

I know, I know, the dreaded YouTube link, but it's in the vein of finding similarities instead of differences.

Every time!!!! ..........As a Christian (of sorts), my goal in life is to "live and let live", "never judge others" and spread as much Love around as I can.

Butting heads produces nothing but dented skull, hurt feelins, and is negative; for goodness' sake - Let us all ACCEPT each other, and if wwe disagree, then that is so, but there should never be any ill will in disagreement.
