When Anti-Christians Attack!
Over in NonWiccanPagans, Forestwraith posts about the [PAGANS: How Christian are you? Test] (must signed up to lousy dating service in order to take). Other pagans weigh in with their scores and their commentary, most to the effect that the quiz maker seems to think Christianity and Paganism are mutually exclusive.
Everyting above 45% appears to be Christian in Denial
CHRISTIAN IN DENIAL
You are kidding yourself and everyone around you. You are just a christian in denial. Give it up and go back to church: you don't understand any wordlview or religion other than christianity, and you drag your christianity into everything you try to do to seperate yourself from it. Get lost, Jesus fish brain!
son_of_art, the apparent creator of the test, weighs int o tell everyone they aren't pagan - they are in fact OMG dirty rotten CHRISTIANS!!!
Some choice exerpts from son_of_art:
"Your morals about sex are shaped by christianity. Why don't you reconsider them from the lens of actual pagan beliefs?
Your idea that books are more important than the effect that they have on the world is also a christian "bible-worshipping" impulse that you have not overcome yet.
You cannot be a witch and a christian. See the bible for what Hell awaits those who practise magic, divination, or have "familiar spirits".
All Gods are not aspects of one, and no pagans outside of Plato's stupid tiny anti-greek and anti-pagan school of thinking ever thought so.
Love is VERY important, and GODS can send messages. But there is no "one god" and Love is not just a matter of being a moral christian." [link]

"The problem with christianity isn't just PEOPLE MISINTERPRETING it. That is what christians try to say to avoid the responsibility for the FACT that their religion teaches hate and intolerance IN THE BIBLE. There's no danger of misinterpreting the bible, when it says "Kill gay people" or "only jesus can get you to heaven- you diviners, adulterers, pagans, false god followers, and fornicators are all going to burn", which it DOES actually say." [link]
"They've already done it. You are a disgusting traitor to the true Spirit of the Past, our sacred Ancestors, and the True Gods. You are a defender of christianity, and I wish I could be a fly on the walls of the Underworld when you are smothered amongst the shades of obscurity." [link]
*******
"Guys... guys... come on! The Quiz wasn't meant to be taken this seriously." [link]
(further in that thread) "If it wouldn't be for that Koran, women would not be suffering so much. Think about other people for once."
*******
"It is a fact that the dead drink from the Well of Forgetfulness." [link]

forest_wraith's brief note near the end:
"The 2 of you that are upset, are just irriated because you had to face up to being a Christian in denial! *giggles*" [link]
And as a bonus, a mini grudge match between son_of_art and wire_mother!
