PS: Welcome to the Wild Hunt. You can expect Ali and Cat to fly in and support you and defend you from me soon- tell them hi when you see them.

Let me dialogue with you here a bit, just to return your loving example. True Pagans will not embrace Christianity, and it's not written anywhere that we have to love Christians in spite of our differences. In fact, smart pagans- and there are some- will not extend love into a hateful, judgmental void of lunacy or barely-concealed hostility; that is against nature itself, and against dignity. Instead, they will call intolerance out for what it is, and not pretend that intolerance is somehow unrelated to religions that teach intolerance, of which yours is one.

I know you'll say that you don't "take it that way", but you're smugly condescending here, and your message is not wanted here. I can think of few places where it would be wanted, so old and tired a message as it is. All that "message" does is reveal your own pride, and if Pagans are wise, they'd disregard you as all the wise of this world would.

We are not in need of salvation, from anything. Your fear mongering here, trying to get people to submit to your worldview of metaphysical helplessness, is one short step above disgusting. Your mind is diseased, from contact with your diseased and philosophically irrelevant religious tradition. You wouldn't know what real love or acceptance was if these things sat on your face and wriggled.

You don't love Pagans. you smugly extend what you think is warmth inside to them because you believe a being outside of yourself would want you to, and because you hope to be rewarded one day for this false piety with glory eternal. But you aren't going to get anything of the sort. You're going to get what everyone else gets- a long drop deep into the Underworld, and from there, a mysterious road to a destiny that only you can know or comprehend.

It won't be triumphal with angels and trumpets. You aren't going to sit among saints next to the throne of the Semitic storm god. You're going to be another piece of discarded flesh and another lost ghost, wandering in the Great Below shedding the delusions that it carried throughout life. You're going to learn what it means to be *one of us*, a human like everyone else, in a way you should have in this world. When it's happening, I hope your soul keeps enough wits through the death experience to remember that I told you this here today. If you bump into me down there (and I hope you will, because I'm much better in person) I'll tell you all this again.

How's that for a "die well" wish? That's Pagan love, friend… an invitation to dialogue even beyond the grave…

I’ll raise this for discussion, citing your post, on the New Religious Movements discussion forum, and see if anyone else knows more.
