It's a matter of perspective. Christians were called pagans in the Roman Empire before Christianity morphed into the state religion.
but Bear! Thar's gold in them thar religions! Look, I'm tired of eking out a living - what say you and I jump on the latest religious fad bandwagon and turn ourselves a little profit before the atheists figure out they haven't been invited to the feeding frenzy and decide to hijack paganism?

And sorry, for the shot across your bow, you know I don't include you in the rabble that use Paganism as a tool to make money.
lol oh Bear - I'm not Pagan - I haven't earned the right to wear that label... I just agree with most of their teachings.
I was just pointing out that all religions have been hijacked, bastardized and raped in the name of the true gawd, the almighty dollar.

apparently not - but then again, I never did get the hang of that whole capitalism thang. Maybe if I exploit a few religions I'll get better at it!
I could make a few inferences from that post Spade - either you're noting the hijacking of this thread when we 'digressed' off into the hijacking of religions...;-)
...or you share an opinion with me that all regions share at their root, one simple message - and it doesn't matter which religious cloth you dress it up in, the message remains the same:
Do no harm.
The rest is just ... well.... fodder for the capitalists, if you will. lolll.
Hey you're on a roll. Too bad all the 'Religo' business models have been co-opted already. Besides it's a far dirtier game than capitalism.
See?
In the words of the infamous CdnBear, EGADS!
I'm destined to remain destitute I guess. I draw the line at skulking under bathroom stalls!
Apparently you're right. In fact just the other day I received two convictions in the mail .... for speeding. :angryfire::lol::lol::lol:
