What does "everybody think" that's misinformed, confused, or totally false regarding your religion?

* "Atheists are anti-religion."
* "Atheists just hate God."
* "Atheists are amoral."

These are the big ones that I hear most of the time.

Gnostics are anti-semetic.
Gnostics twist the Bible and contradict Jesus.
Gnostics aren't Christians ane never were.
Paul condemned the Gnostics.

Didn't Paul condemn just about everyone? neutral He's like the poster-child for "Xenophobia Weekly".

"All witches are Wiccans."
"All Pagans believe in one god and one goddess."
"All Norse Pagans are racist."
"All Norse Pagans are giant hairy men with axes."
"All Pagans follow the Rede."

This misconception comes from the fact that YHVH is often believed to be the Demiurge in Gnosticism and the rejection/adversion to the Tanahk.

Nah, Paul had a lot of crap to deal with. If my studies are correct he was basically teaching a Torah-free Christianity and he had Peter, John, and James ******** up what he was doing all the time.

The big one, which more or less covers all the rest of them is...

"Wicca is whatever you want it to be."

I didn't know you were Wiccan, Sweet. I thought you were just a well informed ENP.

Learn something new everyday, I guess.

Hmm...

"Buddhists are all enlightened."
"Buddhists are all crazy levitating mountain gurus."
"Buddhists are un-feeling."
"Buddhists all practice Zen."

"Pagans worship satan"
"Hades=Satan"
"Dancing naked in the moonlight makes you more Pagan"
"Running through the woods naked makes you more Pagan"
"All Pagans worship nature"

Seeker only... otherwise I'm simply an Eclectic Witch. So I don't claim to be Wiccan, but it is the "relgion" I am pursuing (at least for the purposes of the thread), if that makes any sense.
