I've always found it odd that so many Pagans who say that all religious paths are valid for those who follow them seem to get so upset when some Pagan decides a Christian path is more right for them after all. These folks often drop the person from their circle of friends, say nasty things about him/her, etc. -- even if they are adopting a non-fundie Christian faith.
I don't get it. These same people generally have no trouble when someone converts from Christianity to a Pagan religion and even bemoan the fact that the convert to a Pagan religion is treated like dirt by some of their Christian friends. It's an obvious double standard, but I don't understand the reasoning behind it. Anyone have an ideas as to why this is? Should we tolerate this behavior in our Pagan friends?
