I think it is sad there are so many misconceptions abouts pagans. I recently read a blog post (and no, I'm not going to link it), and the chick was so pissed off at pagans in general. The things she said were inaccurate, at best. Granted, I know she has some history that she is basing this rant on, but her history was such a tiny part of the overall pagan community.
My greatest wish is that people know pagans are about tolerance and acceptance of other people's life styles. We don't have to agree with them. We don't even have to like their choices. But we accept their choices as theirs.
You know what? I'd like to change my greatest wish. I wish everyone would become more accepting and tolerant of others. Stop the road rage, the hate crimes, the fear of change, the fear of homosexuals, etc... Just stop, people.
Just remember: If you are narrow-minded, you miss the big picture.

Yep, it's a good wish - although the entire time I was writing it, I could hear all the nit-pickers in my head, "So you are just supposed to accept everything?? What about fighting for your rights? What about crime??" Etc., etc., etc.... To those people I would like to direct their attention first, to my last statement in the post, and then to the title of my blog - since they just proved me right.
(And look how little work it took on my part.)
Okay. Shutting up now.
Very well spoken;m I agree 100% that more toleration is needed in our society today.
