Catriona, and all,
I don't think anyone meant to corner the pages, so to speak. I'm sorry if anything I've said has offended anyone. I am Christian, but for the third time in my life I've felt a *very* strong urge to learn about paganism, and wicca in particular. Therefore, since about February, I've been reading and researching. (In fact, our local Library just called to say they've got more books ready for me to pick up.) Reading all of your posts has given me insight, and also raised more questions. I'm not turning my back on my own beliefs, but neither can I ignore this pull I'm feeling to learn about yours. So far, I'm very glad I've finally taken this so seriously as it's helped to dispell quite a lot of nonsense, and I've begun to reconsider some long-ingrained reservations and fears.
Please forgive me once again, if there's anything I've posted that has offended you. I'm still learning, and hope to continue to do so here. You all have helped me, and I do appreciate it.

QUOTE (Welsh Guy @ Oct 8 2003, 03:00 PM) | Don't be daft mate they didn't even arrive in Northern Europe till the middile of the first century. THAT is recent |
Book of Kells, Lindisfarne Gospels, Book of Durrow, Ardagh Chalice, Tara Brooch, Aberlemno Stone....
I guess that the British made no contributions to the culture here in Canada since they didn't settle until the 17th century, nor did the Europeans have much sway on U.S. history.
I won't lower myself to taking a shot at you (the daft comment).

Dreamer1 I had absolutely no intention of singling you out when I made my comments - to be honest, I cannot remember reading anything that you may have posted. As I said, I do not post here, and only look in occasionally.
KELTIC This site (the whole site, not just the Pagan forum) has always been quite friendly... BUT, just recently I have noticed a number of posts which seem to take exception to the views of many of the members.
This is not good and it is not kind.
I also think you misunderstood Welsh Guy's comments. He takes a little getting used to, but he can't help that, he's Welsh.... (see, even I can express prejudice). WG is one of the least prejudiced people I have had the pleasure to meet online....
Everyone:
I live my life by the Agnostics prayer
'God if there is one, save my soul if I have one'.... It has worked for me for many years.
I do not like to see proselytising - I do not like to see what I perceive as a contempt for those views that do not chime with mine....... I reiterate, this board was set up at the request of some Pagan members as THEIR discussion area.....
If the Christians want a forum of their own, then I know that the owners of this site would probably agree to this..... I cannot see why visiting here and making hurtful comments re the religion(s) of the majority the posters should pass without comment.
Right, that's me off my soap box - back to the 'owners' of this forum!

Catriona:
I check out this forum to read other views and not to judge those views. If something that I say comes across as being judgmental, I apologize. With WGs comments, I was merely pointing out that Christianity played an important role in the history of the Celts just as I would have if a Christian dismissed the importance of the pre-Christian Celtic era.
About misunderstanding WGs comments.... I am just going to leave that one alone.
RavenWing:
Thank you for the forum and I hope that nothing that I have posted has been perceived as malicious or an attempt to force my views upon others.
