Yeah, that's what you think. The saddest sight I see on a Sunday is the handful of elderly people wandering into the local chilly church so they can praise their God by singing songs about what terrible people they are. "Have mercy on us, miserable offenders". LOL... Actually most of them are probably not sinners at all, but good people. Meanwhile Pagans celebrate everything, nature, women, sex... all the stuff Christians tut-tut and get lemon-faced about.

Christianity tried to crush Paganism through force, using violence and torture you couldn't imagine, and could never justify if you could. But it failed. There are more people following Pagan traditions now than at any other time in history. Christianity is dwindling meanwhile, probably because people are wising up. Especially as the church seems to be represented sometimes by people like Leather Trumpet, who spout archaic poppycock and insult other religions. That's not a way to get people to convert to your way of thinking; it just makes people think you're blinkered and intolerant.
