Should Pagans be upsest or lighten up?

I'd be upset, just because it's apart of the regions heritage.

Wonder what would happen if they had put the Bishiop of Canterbury in a mini-dress

I'm not even pagan and I find it mildly disturbing.  I know what the long man means as a symbol to the pagan belief and as with any other sacred symbol this to me is a form of desecration.

I find it very disturbing but I really don't feel that offended by it. I think the more offense given towards it will only make matters worse or perhaps encourage future events of this type. However I'm someone who really doesn't get offended easily unless being personally attacked.

To me it is a form of religious desecration and very disrespectful. It would not be stood for if someone were to put Jesus in a dress and pig tails. So why should it be allowed for this to happen to any other religious symbol? Why doesn't that show attempt the stunt with Mohammad? I bet they don't have the stones to try it with the Muslims. But a small group of pagans make easy targets.

I agree with Bobby. If it were another religion or God I'm sure it wouldn't even be posted anymore.
My opinion is that  we all need to respect the different religions. Just because it is not their choice does not mean it's wrong or give them the right to be disrespectful.
