Pagan Apologetics

These are some essays that I have written. Parodies are basically the original article with some terms changed. It is odd how the same arguments can be used against the original authors simply by changing a few words. I'm sorry that many of these are still under construction but I get distracted so easily and just start working on another article.

These articles are written from many different religious perspectives. This is done mainly as a literary exercise. During the period in which I wrote these articles, I was Wiccan and a Hellenic Pagan. Any other views are purely hypothetical.
