why are ppl so agaist Pagans/Wiccans?

I have nothing against Pagans/Wiccans.

I respect your beliefs as long as you respect mine.

Some are led to believe that we're all a bunch of uneducated, raving lunatics. What could ever give them that idea? Hmmm...take a look at your own post here. How can we expect people to take us seriously and believe that we really are intelligent people if we've such atrocious spelling, grammar and syntax.

(Is English your second language? If so, then I'd give you more leeway here with all these mistakes. But if English is your first language, and you are in fact an adult, and you feel the need to try to speak for all pagans and Wiccans, then please try to do so intelligently. You're not texting here - and there are lots of adults out there who don't understand the teenage "text talk". Type the words in their entirety.)

If you knew about Christianity in depth (and that means not just Catholicism), it would be likely you would have the answers to your question.

Is there any reason you simply don't politely respond to such questions about your religion with "I'm sorry, but I feel my religion/spirituality is very personal to me and I don't discuss it with folks I don't know well."?

People who have a major problem with it are generally afraid, because they've been brought up to think that Pagans are all devil worshippers. They're afraid to find out more because they think if they do, they'll get possessed by demons or something. It's very silly.

I mean, I don't agree with Paganism in any form because I'm not religious at all, but I have no problem with other people being Pagan. I have never met a Pagan (not one over the age of 12 anyway) who goes round shouting about how they're right and everyone else is going to burn in hell. It just doesn't happen. pagans don't hassle you in the street or knock on your door or demand that all the laws are changed to suit their opinions.

I respect the fact that you are a Pagan. I became Catholic 5 years ago. I would happily have lunch with you and be comfortable.

I'm 25 years old and when I was in high school Paganism and Gothic dress were popular. Some people are afraid and intimidated by what they don't understand.

Most people have misconceptions about what it means to be a pagan. In the end, it usually scares people- talking to non-Jesus believers/worshippers/whatever. It's not cool, but sadly, that's the way it is. Hopefully, one day, people will understand the faith (or faiths that fall under paganism) better, and they'll be less likely to judge.

In principle no superstition can be more valid than another. The thing I like about Wiccans and Pagans is that they are mostly harmless and that's more than you can say for some of the big mainstream superstitions.

I would also like to know more about this subject, and how about insteadd of dissing her about her spelling and shortcuts u answer the question u idiots I feel that just because its not well known dosent mean we should be treated like we do, people respect musliums and buddust ect but not pagans/wiccans, its kinda sad maybe people should read up more on pagans and wiccans to understand them more

I get seriously annoyed by those of you who abbreviate "people" into "ppl." How on earth can you justify such total disregard for the laws of english language merely because the effort required to type the letters e and o are too great? Seriously? Are you that bloody lazy?

This world governed itself before intrusions and lies.Therefore,just let them shove their lies down your throat and everything will be fine,or you can have a F U 2 attitude.

well just like any religion its a load of bull and should be treated as such, just like any other religion. So you cant accuse me of not treating you equally.

Pagan religions are all but lost and wicca is just a pastiche of made up rules by gerald gardener a few decades ago ,at least other religions have the mists of time as a excuse but wicca is just as obviously made up as Scientology.

My druidic ancestors would face palm at what people do in their name today.
