Since I am a pagan, I didn’t think it was an insult. Rather, I looked at it as a complement. If you think the complement is not justified, I will withdraw it for your case.
Sounds like you are playing word games which are neither understood nor appreciated, nor appropriate to this (or most any) Free Republic thread.
If you wish to discuss or debate your religious ideas, including your opinions about the definition of the word "pagan", then start your own thread, and invite people to comment.
This is not the thread for it.
