Well expressed opinion!
Its just because someone has attained happiness or peace of mind by certain means, does not mean there is no other way to do that. Lot of times people unnecessarily concentrate on the "how" rather than "what". I liked your post. Thanks!

My husband says: God made man in his image and man has been trying to repay the favor ever since. Guess that's right. The one thing is true: God gave man the will to believe as he chooses. I may believe like or different than you but we each have the assurance of God that we may exercise our own will in that effort.

Thought inducing post
Enough so that I could post my own blog on it. Quite busy today, so it will have to wait until a bit later, but look for it. Take care and thanks for swinging in on my own posts!

I also
wish that people would be more tolerant. I personally believe that everyone can decide for themselves what they want to believe but I can;t stand those that try to insist that I'm wrong in my beliefs. They tend to judge before they even meet me.

Afzal, You Are Exactly Correct
Paragraph two says it all. god is the creator of the enitre universe and some of our brotheres and sisters have lost their way. We should pray for their return back to the flock. We must all learn to be more tolerant of each other.

Excellent post Afzal
I think these judgemental, narrowed attitudes are a symptom of grasping egos, which I don't believe are God spoken. Agendas of power and greed underlay man-made religions, imo.

Pagans don't "recruit" or try to convert others. I think most Pagans are widely accepting of others as long as they are allowed to live and practice their own beliefs in peace. There are some fundamentalists though, like you can find in every belief system.
Good post, love.
