I didn't say I was not Christian. I said I am. Sorta. Read, KG. READ. I am part pantheist, part pagan, part christian. In short....it's a weird path I am on. I explore many things...but while exploring, I drag the Christian God and Jesus along with me cuz I ain't leaving either behind.The problem is..when you "discuss" you aren't really discussing. Well, you are, but then you toss in a few specks of spittle that lands on my face. It's very unpleasant.Well, you sure told me!I understand what you're saying just fine.
You're saying that you feel smug because in your narrow world, Christians who allow their kids to hunt Easter eggs are somehow stupid, or don't know where the origin of Easter egg hunts comes from, or are somehow being unfaithful to their Christian roots.
It's patently stupid of you, and wrong besides. I know, undoubtedly better than you, where the traditions spring from. I embrace the tradition. It doesn't mean I'm not a Christian. It means I appreciate the history and don't see a conflict, because the only conflict is the one that's imagined by people who obviously don't have a good understanding of either of the traditions.
No need to keep 'splaining yourself although you seem you really hafta. Do whatever floats yer boat.
Your op, and your later assertions, imply that you wanted to *discuss*. So I am *discussing*. Would you rather not hear it? My guess is you only want to *discuss* if the discussion supports your narrow minded and ill-conceived notions.
Meanwhile...have a happy easter, hope your girls find lots of candy filled eggs and it's WARM so all can enjoy the day.
Of course I discuss.
But I don't abide nonsense. And it's nonsense to look down your nose at Christians, while at the same time dictating what constitutes *proper* Christian behavior, while admitting you aren't Christian and really have no authority to back up the tripe you're pedaling.
How do I explain this? I can't. I just see God in everything. Trees. Rocks. Grass. Flowers. Bees. I hear God in everything. Trees. Rocks. Grass. Flowers. Bees, etc. He is everywhere, and He goes WITH ME when I trail off unto another path.
Anyway....not in the mood to fight today, so..have a nice easter.
Sorry, your comments show that you have no concept of what Christianity means to the rest of us, or how we conceive of it.
And a Christian can't be *part* pagan. Being part pagan means you're not a Christian, dear.
