(sighs) you people are good at this, I admire you. If all these "Wicca" and other Neo-Pagan groups were as strong as you then by the gods they wouldn't be wimpy and horrible arguers and they would accually have a chance against your faith. But I can't alone because I am only one man.
And sorry to hear you got kicked off you job because people are idiots. They wern't Pagans ither.. I doubt it there is only about 1 million to 2 million accual Pagans unless you count Hindiusim as "Paganism" with 900 million something fallowers.
So I will continue you to deffend against you but I have no questions for you Anineo because you just too good and you won't change you views. And being the only one man against a whole horde of Christians isn't very comforting either.
But since this post is called Greco/Roman Paganism I will say my point one last time,
The point of Roman/Greco Religion is to propitiate deities, spirits and ancestors through precise prayers and rituals. This secures the good will of the greater powers and binds them to family and State. The resulting harmony is called the Pax Deorum, the Peace of the Gods.
Roman/Greco Paganism to sum it up is a contract between the gods and man loving at times and hateful at times, balanced and chaotic all that same time. It has no centeral book or prophet but it looks to re-esbablsih itself in the daily world as a vibrant and true religion of man.
