Why do people hate wiccans and pagans??

Some of us are past all that stuff. And quite frankly, you religious types are slowing us down. It shouldn't be surprising if we get a little annoyed with you now and then.

Dance around fires, naked? Okay, I'm convinced! Sign me up!

Maybe the Heathens are overlooking a useful recruiting opportunity here pandabear.

It sure beats wearing suits to listen to long boring sermons, and tithing.

I think it's because the Wiccan 'religion' is an even greater insult to Christianity than atheism is. To claim there is more than one God is seen to be worse than claiming there is none, for some people.

Atheism is worse IMO, because most atheists I've met are religious zealots with little tolerance.

I've seen intolerance on all sides, and people usually combat intolerance with intolerance.

Maturity to discuss topics such as religion have nothing to do with which religion you have - or don't have - but rather it's depends solely on the people discussing it. Many people automatically want to impose their beliefs on others, and that's wrong, IMO.

I'm not necessarily a pagan or wiccan but i respect their beliefs. The Wiccans I've known were sweet people who were accepting of other peoples' beliefs. They worship the earth and use spells to heal. Wiccans believe in something called the "three fold law". That means that every action you do comes back to you three times as much. It's basically a karma. I don't understand why so many people hate wiccans and pagans. First of all, they are NOT devil worshipers. They don't even believe in a devil. Why would people of one religion worship the bad guy from another religion?? According to biblical peoples, god created the earth. So why is it evil to worship something god made for us?? Pagans also tend to be sensible. I've never had one knock on my door early in the morning and hand me a brochure and say "Have you accepted the goddess as your savior?" And so what if they believe in a god AND a goddess?? I actually believe god is a genderless force, but i take no offense to them believeng in both a male and female deity. My opinion is that wiccans and pagans are just like the rest of us. Their are good ones and bad ones. However, i've read much about pagan and wiccan philosophy and have NEVER found anything evil or wicked about it. Nor have i ever read anything about devil worshipping. Could it be that biblical people are accusing wiccans as being devil worshippers the same way that for 2,000 years they have accused jews, muslims, hindus, buddhists and even catholics of being devil worshippers at one point or another?? At the very least, wiccans are harmless. They are usually just chubby red-haired women who care about the earth! jk.
