Yes, its Thorsday again ... I think it is generally accepted that the Age of Christianity is over, replaced by the Age of Reason (quote: Rodney Castleden from Britain 3000BC). We can only hope that the Age of Reason will filter into the 'other great world religion' too.
If 'Pagan' means observing Nature with a sense of awe then it is alive and well ... gods, goddesses and God had been invented by mankind in its own image and sets us apart from other animals as a species with an ego.
Having said all that though, for all the Irish Catholics who have been discriminated against over past decades both in England and Scotland, I hope the Pope's tour (kicking off in Scotland) is successful - as some of my good friends say through gritted teeth "don't start me off" - then for my dear old Mum who believes she was born a Catholic and will die one.
Peace to all.
