Misconceptions have plagued the image of
Paganism since the converting of a once
Pagan Europe.
More blood has been
shed in the name of
religion than in any
other points in history,
and we forget that
religion is not based
upon the deity you
worship but by personal
interpretation of each
and every person
towards their religion.
There is a reason we
have a division of church
and state, and there is a
reason we have all
walked on the paths only
we can understand.
The question
should not be
what is your
faith ,but do you
have faith? In
allowing each
individual pray
and worship as
they wish we
tear down the
walls and
prejudices that
have separated
us from the
beginning of
religion.
