Paganism Is Spiritually Bankrupt.

Limitations of paganism
From: Chris Schorah, Gascoigne Avenue, Leeds.
ROD McPhee’s article on paganism (Yorkshire Post, May 2) shows us why this particular belief, which claims to be “very individualistic” and “whatever you want it to be”, appeals in this age of self-obsession.
However, with such a dogma, it’s hard to see how it escapes from embracing some of our darker inclinations.
Indeed, in admitting that 
only most of its rituals are 
devoid of violence, devil 
worship or sexual practices, the article hints that paganism doesn’t evade such things.
Further, as the belief 
doesn’t recognise a God who could transcend us, it can’t 
lift us above ourselves and 
will simply confirm our 
character, however good or bad that is.
This is a significant limitation, especially compared with worshipping the Christian 
God who is a loving Father able to redeem us from ourselves and restore us to what we were created to be.
All this makes it unlikely 
that, contrary to what’s 
asserted, a person could be 
both a pagan and an effective Christian.
Prayer alone is not enough.
(After all - exactly WHO (or what) are you praying to? Ed.)
