Actually, you end up with a whole different set of rules, more gods than you can shake a stick at (which is valid act in many pagan practices), and a lot more personal responsibility ... there's no get out of hell free card of 'accepting christ as a personal savior' in paganism ... you have to walk the walk as well as talk the talk.

You are correct -- personal responsibility is something I do not see in too many religious people these days, even though they are often educated in it. They seem to be much more concerned about enforcement of their ideas and the questioning of others'.

I have a lot of respect for people who are spiritual, but not so much for people who are religious.
