when people talk about Christianity...
I feel I'm pagan & would like to surround myself with other pagans... but they're so few & far between...
Anyone else feel this way?

can't say i do. look up pagans online and they're may be a group u can join
there may be, my bad. i've seen groups online you can join. i don't know about any here on gather.
Not really. Sorry to hear that you do.
I used to, then I went to Meetup.com and found a local Pagan group. Try it, there are a lot of us out there.
Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it. Will definitely check out Meetup.com. :)
i dont feel that way... sorry to hear that you're feeling like that... i wonder why...
There may be an underlying cause for these feelings, perhaps you have an area in yor life you need to fulfill or resolve, now would be the time to explore both sides of the fence and decide which one is right for you.
I often feel like the odd man out here and many places online because I am not religious at all. I have explored many religions and just decided that none of it is for me. I respect others choices and sometimes wish that I was able to take the comfort that I see them get from their faith during the tough times.
Still, that doesn't change my mind or make me feel empty. I am okay with my choices and I hope that you can get to that point. Maybe you can find a coven nearby and I do know that they are some pagans here on Gather. I can't remember who, but when I come across them again, I will try to hook you guys up:)
I'm a Gnostic Christian, but there are others. Go to the groups and key in Pagans. I think there are groups for Pagans.
I am no a pagan. But I know there are other pagans on this site. However if you wrote a post, I will still read it. I do they enjoy learning about other religions.
Hey Gwen...maybe thiese suggestions- contact the colleges and universities student organizations. The Twin Cities are bound to have something, find the "new age" shops and spiritual book stores. Beware of the people wearing craft jewelry. Elizabeth and Dawn have the right idea, go to MeetUp.com and try Craig's List. Blessed Be and Be Watched Over By Athena.
Cheer up. There has to be something underlying to this. I am a Christian. My husband is Jewish so we don't share our religions and we still feel very close to one another.
Just explore! I am not a Fundamentalist Christian and those posts have put me in a very antagonistic frame of mind. I was brought up Anglican, but I find more peace and comfort in the Eastern philosophies. You are not necessarily a Pagan if you don't believe in a certain sect. The Druids have sects here and are very in tune with the Earth and the Universe in a natural way. Try meditating too.
