Unmasking the Goddess: "the Top 5 Misconceptions Pagans Have About Christians:
* The church is male-dominated and Christianity is a religion for men only.
* Christianity is only popular because it's the established religion of the U.S. It will die out as our culture becomes more knowledgeable, logical, and scientific.
* Christianity is a political tool that uses fear to gain recruits and control the masses.
* Christianity is a religion based on sin and guilt; if you don't keep the rules, you're going to hell.
* Christians are trying to shove their religion down people's throats"
But the problem is; you can see why they would have those misconceptions, because they all have elements of truth in them, sometimes quite large elements. To me it says that our plausibility is in part in living differently not just saying differently.
Nous like scouse or French -oui? We wee whee all the way ... to mind us a bunch of thunks. Too much information? How could that be?
