Nor would I wish them to.

... and Pagan-baiting, Pagan-history ignorant  Christians.
I doubt whether many Christians even bother to think about Pagans and Paganism, Matt.  Let alone bait them.  The only baiting of Pagans I've ever known is that which comes as a result of comments like yours.   ;)

Please note, Hope, that my comments to which you refer as attracting the Pagan-baiting and Pagan-history ignorant were, if you bother to read the preceding posts in response to such comments by a Christian who clearly had absolutely no idea what he was taliing about!

Clearly, you have too much time on your hands.  Why not take up a hobby?  Since you've already completed reading the world's books, I suggest, staring into space with your mouth open!   :)

Come on Len! Wouldn't you like a version in your front garden? Cool or wot?  ;D

Do you think if I put it in my front garden it might scare off the Jehovah's witnesses and Mormons ?

😜🌹

It's definitely worth a try!

Nothing I have tried seems to work.

An elderly lady of my aqauintance, now in the Summerlands, couls see anyone who appraoched her home from her living room windows. When the people from the JW approached and knocked at her door she would call out in a clear loud voice, "I will be with you directly, but I should warn you that I am wearing nothing but a Star of David and a broad smile!"

She found that when, fully clothed but wearing her Star, she opened the door there was never anyone there.

If you can have statues of Jesus, why not one of dear sweet Satan? ;D
Doesn't the Bible speak against statues of God?

It's like with Hinduism, which both Christianity & Islam don't 'get', the images are there for focus NOT as objects of worship in themselves.
Having said that... as ALL things ARE technically God anyway, ANYTHING can be used to focus worship. 8)

A very concise statement of Pagan (well, some Pagans, anayway) belief.

Yes It often begs the question - Can anything exist outside God & it's obviously NO. IF God is ALL there is anyway !!!

That's pantheism, though, surely, which is functionally equivalent to atheism (and an almighty linguistic redundancy to boot).

Sorry, in my belief everything exists outside the Gods. The Gods/deities are in everything.

Sure - I was just pointing out that the belief that God is everything (literally) is pantheism, and as such is equivalent to atheism.

I know someone who tried telling them she was a pagan to make them go away. The next day she opened her curtains to find a group trying to exorcise her from the front lawn.

Atheism is NOT a belief in no gods!

Why is this mistake so often made?

Pantheism is 'all is God'. If you don't have any supernatural ideas about what God is but still maintain a pantheistic belief you can be an atheist. I think it's how many Buddhists approach the idea of God, especially in the West; they believe in one-ness but are also atheist, hence they tend towards atheist pantheism.
