in fact wicca or witch craft is the main form of pagan cult. and hebrew christain or islamic faith cannot be traced back to earlier pagan religions, some forms of worship like easter eggs as a symbol of rebirth etc.can be traced back to paganisim but they themselves have nothing at all to do with hebrew , christianity or islam in the true essence, the egg has been been a symbol of rebirth for centurys before christ. so it was only logical, that early christains used it asa symbol for the return of christ, it has nothing at all to do with any religuous belief of pagans being incorperated into the christain religion, the easter egg is just a symbol the early christains of the time thought of as a symbol of rebirth, it has no religous significance at all, just like any other pagan ritual. That Hebrew ,Christains or Islamic followers might incorperate into their religion

Once again you misunderstand what I wrote. Maybe this is clearer.
All Religions borrow aspects of thier faith from previous beliefs.
Islamic, Hebrew, and Chritian faiths incorporate many aspects of
pagan faiths that pre-date thier own existence.
Wicca is a distinct faith of it's own
Modern paganism is a distinct faith of its own
Both Modern Wicca and Modern Paganism are 'Pagan' in thier nature, both being polythiestic. This does not make them one and the same. Chritianity, and Islam are both Monotheistic, but are they the same religion?
If you want to discuss theology and history with me, then I think you better send me a pm, and we can continue our arguement that way.
Most people reading this thread are probably bored to fuck with us by now.
BTW: Do you work for the egg marketing board?
