just went to sell knives at my first pagan event- in a small town- The local christian college staged a protest , stating that they were appalled that pagans should be allowed to hold a gathering in their town- and they showed up to hand out tracts, which soon became something of a game, as the pagans tried to "collect em all" I actualy heard someone say "you got the curse of baphomet, where'd you find that one, all I got is a bunch of the ones with Kali in em" now me, I am a devout agnostic, and foremost in situations like these a capitalist, but it was interesting to watch from a sort of detached point of view, admittedly, I have many pagan friends, and few devout christian friends,- but in a way both sides seemed the same to me, each convinced the other was wrong, the pagans just as sure and inflexible as the christians- and in this, as simmilar as they were different.- don't know if I can convey the feeling that was there, but it struck me as almost erie, both sides were completely sure they were so different, and as such looked, at least from (kinda) the outside, frighteningly the same.....
