ok first off let me state for the record i am a practicing druid. i was recently told that all forms of european paganism is a threat to society and to moraliity. i find that just dumb. duridism for examplr teaches one to be truthful stribe for the truth never lie live in harmony with all being even nature as well as teaches humans are fundamentally hood among other thimgs. so how is it a threat?

As long as you don't perform any of your nasty human sacrifices on my property...... whatever you say.

If you ask me, the only threat any belief poses to anyone else is the threat of difference and disagreement. Which, silly as it sounds, is actually pretty intimidating to many people, however loath they might be to admit it. Humankind's irritating that way.

You clearly have absolutely no handle on the topic and are just making stereotypical remarks that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.
And I'd have to agree with Elysium. People think it's a threat, probably because they don't know too much about it. But if it's not causing outrageous conflicts, I don't see a problem

Ignorant much? Druids are pretty mysterious, and it's not even certain they partook in sacrifices. Plus, I doubt modern Druids would do things like. Anyway, I think European Paganism isn't a threat in the sense that they'll slaughter you and steal your women, but rather that they could possibly influence and/or convert others Druids.

rest asured we dont seek converts regardless of the branvh of european paganism.anyone that claims to be following any branch of european paganism and is seeking converys just does not get it when it comes to pahanism

As with all religions/practices (and me having 7 years of having a direct insight into paganism myself), as long as it's not invasive and generally not harmful to other people/things, then I see nothing wrong with it. To each their own.
People calling things threats without justified reasons or evidence, is refusing to see the big picture and other viewpoints, and seeing things as absolute.Same with race/culture/sexuality/etc. Quite a few conservatives are like that :(

A threat maybe because it is too attractive for the self-mortifying pious who told that to you. LoL
I have to admit there is an allure for me too, but I'm such that I can practice Druidry and still be a Christian.
