yeah- have to agree with lebell on the human traits thing- and also got me thinking about the old saying " there is no zealot like a convert"- and every pagan but one that I know is a convert.....
I also agree heartily with tecoya on the earfull- most pagans don't seem to go out of the way, but with some, get em talking and be prepared for the complete history of their religion and then some- not that that is so bad, I guess that it is just me being exposed to what seems to me to be a "more things change, the more they stay the same" kinda situation- not being particularly religious myself, I would guess that I have seen "thumpers" from every religion I have encountered- except for muslims and jews- havent ever seen them prosteletize - though I have seen pagan, christian, buddist, hindu, and several that i could not readily classify. I feel that thumping is only bad when it becomes intrusive or pushy- for example- a basket of christian, pagan, hindu or wahtever tracts just sitting on a table is totaly cool with me, a guy on a corner offering them to me slightly less so, someone actively comming up to me and thrusting them at me or putting them on my car enters the realm of the uncool- and door to door is realy not the way to gain my sympathy-
