Ask A Pagan!

Dunno, is that how you identify yourself?

I've found that pagans like myself get a lot of nonsense and misunderstanding about our religious beliefs than probably any other religious group. I noticed this even when I followed Judaism and my wife followed paganism. @Dark Mistress suggested asking me about my religious beliefs, so I made this thread.

So, this is for anyone curious to ask (serious) questions about paganism.

Pagan has been associated with every thing from stone age living habits to belief in magic to fodder for missionaries.
The modern day pagans I know are almost deist: "Nature is God" They are into herbalism, wholistic health and living close to the land, all of which I respect and much of which I try to do in my own life . Is this an accurate representation?
I sometimes consider myself a deist but I am a spiritually confused recovering catholic and not sure. I believe in
something, I have felt it, often on the water or in the woods, but I have no real idea what it is. In fact at times my spirituality can be quite strong. I sometimes refer to it as "a God of my non-understanding." I know its NOT the old white dude in the beard smoting everyone God of my youth.

By birth

Really? Why?

[Captain Obvious]

Really? Why?

My parents were Catholic. 12 yesrs of Catholic schooling. I had no choice until I came of age.

I still identify myself as Christian and I have a personal Christian faith.

I have never felt a calling Christian or otherwise.

Why are you a Christian?

It's the only option. What else are you going to be?

[Mister D]

Then am I a Christian?

Culturally? Absolutely.

It's the only option. What else are you going to be?

Jewish (like me), atheist, buddhist, muslim, hindu, pagan, and a number of other things that currently exist in this country and around the world. I've also come to understand that there are thousands of Christian denominations...which one is America?

No, I don't indentify myself as Christian. But if it defines you the birth...
