Well Hugh, pagans get very snarky when we go at their paganism they way they go at Christianity here. Rhi loves to take swipes at Christianity, but one is a troll if you dare to pop into the pagan section and swipe at their gods, their nature worship and their new age, all is one BS. Ketty told me a lot when she had to leave.
There is a conflict between the individuality and respect of different POV of Pagan and pantheism views, and the set beliefs of Christianity.
Ketty had some very very strong feelings on what Christianity was, and there was no room for individual interpretation. ( on Christianity, let alone anything else)
She was entitled to her POV but so are others.
This was always going to go pear-shaped when people gave an individual POV that didn't fit.
ITs a shame Ketty left, but it was her choice.
The open minded individuality wasn't to her taste 🌹😀
No I don't like it when I see Christians being attacked here, but the reason is because they have some very set ideas, and they don't respect anything else.
People tend to get snarky when they express their own experiences in life ( not dictating how others should be) and they get told their opinion is BS.
what might help is if you gave your own experiences of your own spirituality without touching on theirs.
When you open up your own personal feelings on something, criticism can come across as an attack.
I notice the Christians who don't get any hassle are the ones like Gonnagle who honestly give their own feelings and try and build bridges and they are careful not to criticise the honestly given feelings of others.
It's so hard sometimes to get it right, we all put our foot in it, now and again.
