<DIV>Greetings, </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To follow this idea, if events celebrating pagan themes (Yule and Solstice for example) offend me, then they should not be allowed to take place, correct?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since, if they offend me as being religious in nature (Pagan religious celebration) and may offend other people of Christian belief in the SCA?</DIV>
