"I will grant your example of "Baker" (FYI: spelled "Bakker") is an embarrassment. In a world where Christianity is not only the largest but the fastest growing religion, bad examples are going to exist. Nonetheless, you must surely admit, this does not detract from the teaching, person and work of Christ. Christ did not force Bakker to do anything. "
Ok, here's a question or statement.. not sure how it'll end yet. You find people you don't like representing Christians and excuse them as "bad examples" that don't represent the rest accurately. So when you find Pagans you don't like, why assume they represent all other pagans rather than being a few "bad examples" that do not represent the rest?
(and dead corpse, i'm not calling you a bad example, just curious about this.. i'm not going to pretend to know enough about you to conclude whether you are a bad or good example because I definitely don't know you well enough to make that judgement)

I don't judge paganism entirely by its adherents. It's animistic belief system is enough to dismiss it. Dancing around trees and fires naked, however, does tend to make one wonder about the sanity of the adherents.
