All too true. Virtually every pagan I've encountered has to make a big
deal out of their beliefs, how "enlightened" they are and such. Not to
mention all the claptrapped baggage that they carry around, e.g. "re -
birthing", healing crystals, "past lives", how "everything that has
existed since the beginning of time exists in me", how their souls all
emanated from Alpha Centauri or wherever...I mean why not just smoke a
joint and eat a big box of Ding - Dongs and mellow out, it's a LOT more
productive use of yer time.

Come to think they are no different than the hysterical adherents of
most of other belief systems...they just stick out more I guess for
their sheer ridiculousness.

A truly "spiritual" person should be so secure in their beliefs that
they should not have to inflict their beliefs on others or be yammering
on about it. No different than being an ex -smoker, a vegan, a
Republican, or an ex - alky, if you are secure there is no need to be
constantly bringng the subject up and berating others...

In the long run Pagans and their ilk are harmless bOObs - at least they
aren't dangerous motherf*cking Muslims....
