Krasskova is sticking her foot in her mouth and talking out of her ass again. https://krasskova.wordpress.com/2015/01/29/impossible-standards-of-devotion/ Oh noes we are doing it wrong again. Rolls eyes.
Hey Galina, way to make yourself sound more pretentious and elitist then some of the Asatruar on Asatru Lore. Do you think writing a few books makes you some sort of qualified expert? You were a decent person to look at when you were talking from your own perspective, now you have turned into a cultish quack twitching whenever someone takes away some "power" you think you have.
Now here are some real life reasons people don't do it the way you do.
1. They haven't been asked to yet.
2. They(gasp I know this might come as a surprise) don't have the time, energy, or mental spoons yet. Real life may be pooping all over them. Not everyone goes the Catholic route of lighting a zillion candles when life hands them lemons.
3. They may not have that type of devotional paradigmn. What someone has a personal relationship with the Gods that differes from you, say it aint so. The Gods may be asking them for different things, oh noes.
IN other words, stick your nose back in your own business,(You can start by getting rid of the idea of tradition and mystery for reconstruction, this isn't BTW wicca, and you aint Gardner) clean your own house and stay the hell out of others. We aren't jealous of you, you cultic power hungry quack, we choose our own way of dealing with our Gods.

Teo Bishops conversion to Christianity and Pagans reaction to it
I do not understand what the hubbub is about, when it comes to Teo Bishops personal decision in regards to his religion. I also fail to understand why he was a Big name Pagan. I also fail to understand why this is anyone's business, or why they feel they can express emotions about it. Two different topics have been unleashed on Patheos Pagan about it, no less. I'm sorry, more like three or four.
How did these self same people, who are blogging and talking and gossiping, feel when their parents or others not related to them, decided to put in their two cents, when they converted to Paganism? I bet many of them were more than a little irritated. So why do the same to Teo Bishop?
The lesson here is boundaries. It isn't anyones business. Teo Bishop converting back is a private affair. Granted he chooses to share it with the world wide web, but it doesn't make it any less of a private affair, that many of us are being public voyeurs in. At most it is between him and the God's and any promises he may have made to his Pagan community.
Did he change personality after he converted? Has he changed in any significant way? So why is this an issue? Do you need to have only Pagan friends? If so, what does that say about you, that you need to follow the Jehovah Witness model to personal relationships?
Time to chill out people.
