Absolutely!
I don't look down on anyone for what they do or don't believe. My rants on here are just rants. Perhaps it's like touching a hot plate even when you know it's hot. This is just a message board. In actual life I don't do this.
My goal here is, and always has been(even as a pagan), to make people think about things that they usually wouldn't think about; but even when I was ranting about reincarnation, magic, and the non-locality of the soul; people's heads didn't spin like they do when Jesus is involved.

This is where you don't get it. Pagan ways are what society backs though. Society is getting more and more hostile to Christianity every day.
It's kind of peculiar if you consider that all of the other mainstream religions are largely embraced by their societies. The Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, etc.. to those people their religion isn't the taboo that Christianity has become.
It is kind of amazing that kids under the age of 12 in this country now consider the words "Jesus Christ" to be swear words.
