Many scholars agree that many religions including the Jews and christians purposelly wrote out the goddess of the old to make sure women were kept where the men at that time wanted them. And that was under their thumbs and under complete control of men. The pagans know this cuz they did their homework thoroughly! Christians and their so called "scholars" deny it and go to any means to try to discredite it and do a lousy job at it!<BR/><BR/>I have a lot of pagan friends many who are highly educated and one who is an anthropologist. And I am sick of the bad wrap they get. Most pagan are NOT theist. They are ancestor and animeist(sp?) worshippers. Meaning they worship the natural world as it really is. That is why you dont see all the hate and violence from them like we see from theists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20169168.post-1141149518565919152006-02-28T09:58:00.000-08:002006-02-28T09:58:00.000-08:00‘Snotc’ was a typo—my bad.‘Snotc’ was a typo—my bad.SteveiT1Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271837187081908611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20169168.post-1141148443068660122006-02-28T09:40:00.000-08:002006-02-28T09:40:00.000-08:00Oh and thank you RA for deffending me.
