I do however find it utterly offensive that many Druids and Pagans wear antlers and furs ... as offensive as a fur coat and almost as debauched as displaying a dead child in a museum! That said the 'skeleton' at the AK Museum has always been treated with deep affection and indeed respect too ... I can't apply this logic to the cruel and senseless slaughter of animals.
Because, of course, all Pagan types are "supposed" to be vegetarian animal-rights hippies?The most vociferous arguments about hunting I have ever seen have been between Pagans. Some do take the don't-even-eat-anything-that's-been-near-a-hamburger attitude, while others see hunting as a way of honouring the ancestors.
Many of the furs used by Pagans are only sourced from road-kill, though by no means all.
Incidentally, Can I ask what this "degenerate dead religion" is of which you speak? Not Christianity surely? That still has some life in it.
