If you love Paganism so much, though, I hope you have an equal love for Hindu deva worship, fire sacrifices, and tantra.
Where did I say I condone these types of actions and how did you possibly come to the conclusion that I "love" Paganism so much?

Are you aware there are some out there who use the name "Buddhism" to make a profit off of peoples fears and irrational beliefs? Should the whole Buddhist religion be characterized, associated with and defined by these few peoples actions?:
Bodom, if you love Paganism so much, then why don't you marry it?

lol you get a free pass on that one. After all who doesn't like Pee Wee?!

:anjali:
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

You may not, but people will label you, I am sure.

Actually, I am. I did research on it, and it kinda fit my beliefs, so I would consider myself a buddhist-pagan or pagan-buddhist.
