The True Meaning Of Paganism (News Article)
I often wish that I had done drugs in the '70s. At least there'd be a reason for the flashbacks. - Rick the Runesinger

And shouted loud oaths in hoarse wit, and long quaffing swore laughing again.Tags: None

The term itself stems from the Latin paganus translated loosely along the lines of "country dweller" or "rustic"; thus it was initially a word describing a person of locality rather than a religion

"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

"You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

Its interesting how most religions in the West find it difficult to co-exist. Many sects of Christians cannot seem to coexist very well, hence the necessity of separating church and state. Its just an argument that we should be accepting of all faith, except for faith that truly promotes hatred or truly intends to deprive adherents of free will.
For too long religion and spirituality have been used by the powerful to oppress others and create a herd mentality. Its now time to take them back, in my opinion.
