SB: there are different kinds of Pagan, I suppose. It's a truism that everyone's religious opinions appear idiotic to those who don't share them, and I don't know what you mean by "pagan" specifically. Hopefully you're not living with the sort of person who worships Gods while simultaneously treating them like Aladdin's genie. But I reserve the right to laugh at anyone who buys colored candles in bulk because Cernnunos won't cough up the juju if we use the wrong color of candle in our magicK (you can tell it's the real kind if it's got a 'k' at the end!)--or who uses a "circle of protection" instead of a burglar alarm. If we ridicule Intelligent Design, certainly that's equally deserving of ridicule, at the very least.

Tho' of course I'm not about to break the 'Poly rule about insulting family members. Even if it weren't a rule, that's just tacky.

fair enough. i think the adage 'pray as if it ere up to god, act as if it were up to you,' fits well here. she does light colored candles, make potions, and burn incense. i don't wholly agree with some of her views, (or rather the views of some of her more vocal friends) but so long as i'm not required to participate, i'm cool with it.

Cool by me. And I certainly won't object if, should she have salt thrown at her by some nut, you happen to strike said nut with a tire iron.

I've never met a male pagan, plenty of male atheists, but no pagans. I've met 4 female pagans/wiccans, all female. All Nutty.

But look at the article, it was a gathering of teenage/twenty something catholics, on halloween, they're going to be a bit boisterous. I wouldn't be surprised if it was mostly just them letting their hair down... they'll be gone by tomorrow.

To me the only difference between pagans and catholics is respectability, catholics have 2000 years worth of history backing them up, modern day pagans/wiccans have some 1960's books. Both a load of balls to me.

That was a rhetorical question. Glastonbury is in England, where the Church of England isn't heretical but the Roman one is. Remember, remember.
