Indeed, the inter-related nature of existence is a very important lesson that all ought to understand, and I hope I didn't come across as hostile to that fact. I'm simply leary of attempts to use such observations as proof of some sort that one tradition (in this case, Paganism, or more accurately, as Ustwo points out, neo-Paganism) is "right," which is how this thread was framed. Especially when the concept is not even remotely exclusive to that tradition.
When it comes to discussing this inter-relation, I'm honestly not sure what there is to discuss. Everything is connected, in some way, to everything else, and we should be more careful about what we do to ourselves and the world around us. Is there any debate about this outside of some religious fundamentalists?
