I somehow ended up in a discussion the other day with a christian friend about paganism and what it is. Personally i cannot fathom a question that takes as much difficulty to answer as this one. What is paganism. I cannot tell you that without somehow insultiong someone somewhere. I can tell you what i believe but thats it! This unamed person was under the impression i worshipped the devil so i felt i had to clear the situation and tell her the truth. After a 2 and a half hour long discussion, replacing words they were uncomfortable with like "energy" with other words she was comfortable with she was finally satisfied and came to this conclusion; "Oh so your basically christian!"
Can anybody possibly tell me how she got to this point? Anyone? I understand she was probably a bit confused, who isnt when it comes to defining 'paganism' and sure replacing a few words here and there to make it easier for her may have blurred the screen a little bit. But how did she get to that conclusion?
In the end i just gave up. She has this quality where she tries to prove Christianity is FACT and that she is absolutley right and that everybody is either christian or should be christian. Cant wait till she comes over to mine and sees the books on my shelves. She wont be confused then.
