I am pagan, and I own a rosary. I will admit a certian amount of it is that is looks cool, but part of it is respect for the figure it represents. Jesus was a pretty cool guy.
Growing up, my family did celebrate the eight sabbats, but we also went to a Catholic church in town. I liked it. It was a pretty building with nice windows where they'd tell us these cool old stories. I think that's why we went. I really liked standing in a row with my sisters in their pretty dresses and me in my little suit. I think that was the first time I wore a top hat. My sisters made fun of it.
I never really thought about it. They said "god", and I thought they meant the lord (horned one, male aspect of divinity, what have you) for about eight years. I figured, since most of the pagan-type rituals focused on the lady, that part of the sharing of aspects was the lord had the tamer, calmer parts of religon, like sitting in a nice building with pretty windows in attractive clothing listening to stories; and the lady had the standing in a grove of trees in a robe with slightly wilder singing. Knowing my parents, the attributes split that way made perfect sense.
I mean, wine and cakes, this is the blood this is the body all that, they can seem really similar to a young boy.

It only occurs to me now, we weren't exactly in the "broom closet", as it were, we drank to the gods, and we went to church. It was about five minutes from our house. It was nice.

Well, there went the topic, sorry about that. sweatdrop I got nostolgic. I guess the point I'm trying to make is, if one is eceletic, why not have Jesus in there with Diana and Quetzequatl? I'm sure he won't mind.
His father might, but that's something else entirely.
