So, I'm quite new to starting on a pagan path in life, and of course, I've already got people fighting me on my choice. (No one on this web site!)

But anyway, so there's this person on another site who laughs at and makes fun of EVERYTHING I do and say. He sits on his butt, going nowhere in life, making fun of people like me who are actually doing something with the life...

So, of course, like everything else I'm into, he calls me a fake and a poser and says I can't be a pagan, because you can't just decide you're pagan! If your'e born to a Christian family, you have to be Christan your whole life! Oh no, you can't choose to be atheist, Buddhist, pagan or anything else later on!

So, in further argument, this guy just said to me that I can't be a pagan because all pagans follow a Greek mythology and worship Zeus. PLEASE tell me he's an idiot!

Really, how do I handle people like that who are going to tell me that I'm stupid, that I'm fake, that I'm a poser, that I can't start living a pagan lifestyle???? (btw at 32 years old I think I'm a big girl and can decide my religion.) Aiiighh!! Help!!! Stupid people are the death of me!
