i agree with that ash. death is not a problem but nor is life either. maybe all just different forms of life tho.

i like taoism too newy and zenwind. makes sense to me. to not fight with what comes our way....learn to go with the flow.

of course i am not as learned as you zenwind on eastern philosphies.

looks like we are all different but agree in no one god perhaps?? is this the key factor we all share?

Perhaps the one thing Pagans have in common is the tolerance they share for all others on the Pagan path....

We all walk our own path... no two paths can be identical as we all experience things differently...

Doubtless you will find a different answer from almost everyone you ask with this one sweetsong... a lot will depend on how the individual defines 'Paganism' - for many, the term Paganism is a broad-umbrella-like term referring to paths which do not fall into the Abrahamic religions (under this definition Hinduism, for example, would fit under the Paganism umbrella).
Others may choose to only place those paths they view as 'Earth Traditions' under the Pagan umbrella...indigenous belief systems... paths which have a focused relationship with (and reverence for) Nature at their heart.

hmmmm.... the difficulties you will find in defining Paganism are akin to those difficulties you will find in defining Hinduism... it is often said that there are as many definitions of Hinduism as there are Hindus... the same can be said for Paganism :)
