A friend posted a link on FaceBook to an interesting article in Church Times....Yes, you read that right I clicked into a page called Church Times!... It leads on from my post earlier this year about the similarities in symbolism of Christmas and Midwinter...
Paganism is not a distant or very different religion
Christians and Pagans should reconsider the similarities of their beliefs, and forge more understanding says Penelope Fleming-Fido...
Maybe I'll keep a print of this in my bag next time I see protesters near pagan conventions...

I thought paganism was a fairly primitive religion in which numerous idols were worshiped? I dunno..my knowledge on the subject is taken from some light dan brown reading lol
Yes, and No. Paganism is an umbrella term used to cover many different religions, some that worship many idols/gods/goddesses, some which worship just one, and some which have no concept of deity at all. The main point this article covers is that both religions (as well as many others across the world) "suggest" very similar moral standards including love and respect of others, tolerance and being an all round good person.
Very belated, but thank you.
