And no, there is no "bible" for Pagans because the religion was virtually wiped out by the Catholics about four hundred years ago. Same goes for Druidism. There are lots of books, lots of papers... but they're all safely tucked away in the Vatican. There is dark and light in everything, people are good and bad... don't imagine for a minute that people who think they're witches are all good and positive.
If you read the story of how the Ten Commandments came to be you wouldn't have to ask why I think there was disorder before then, but the laws were applicable to the Jews at that time.
Human beings can't exist without laws. It isn't laws that make people bad, it's their nature. As for laws being made just to manipulate the masses, that's a comment that could only come from someone living in a country where law and order is taken completely for granted.

I only mentioned the rule of three to scott.. because he likes craft.
The hearth of the home is very important to pagans actually, I have no wish to be categorised as this or that thank you, your take on history is not that accurate either as there are still practicing druids.
I have no idea what is locked in the vatican, the true number of crimes committed in the name of Catholicism maybe?
I have never said there shouldn't be laws... however making up laws and passing them of as the words of 'god'? that's sinful.
