xaos replied to your post: A New Path

A great read, and I share many of your mentioned way-markers. I’m just wondering if there’s a ‘pagan pantheon apologist’ agenda? (‘apology’ as in ‘Christian Apologetics’, not ‘sorry’).

Yes, it is in it’s way pagan apologetics in that it argues paganism contains theology and depth just as valid as the Abrahamic religions and religions of the East.

It does not, however, attempt to justify practices of ancient pagans. I see no defense for burning people alive in the Wicker Man or sacrificing prisoners to the sun god. It is very much a neo-pagan perspective.

Second, it does not imply paganism is a “better” religion than any other. If you found your path with Christianity or something else, more power to you. It does mark a line in the sand. Religions that refuse to respect other religions (and I mean respect, not just tolerate. You can’t tell me I’m going to Hell because I don’t believe like you do), should not be tolerated.
