Ok. Something that's been bugging me all. I've been browsing ebay as it's my birthday soon. And there are many things labelled as pagan that just aren't. I'm pretty open minded towards what you consider as pagan as it's a wide ranging term, but a christian fish is not a pagan symbol. It just isn't. And I'm finding that all the gothic stuff is being labelled as pagan too. Now as an avid goth myself I have nothing against the items themselves, just against the mislabelling. A pirate skull chewing on a sword is not a pagan symbol.
You just wouldn't get this with any other religion.
It's the same at our local library. Any books on pagan religion are shoved to the side in the mind body and spirit section, next to UFO's and bigfoot. I'm really starting to find it offensive. Maybe I'm just getting less tolerant lately, but even when I do politely speak up I get fobbed off with "That's just how the system falls."
Erm... No it isn't. If you did that with a book on hinduism or christianity there would be an uproar.
So ladies and gents what's your opinion on this matter?
