The Easter bunny,eggs, and all that do have Pagan roots, but who cares. I don't really see Pagan as evil.
My mom does... but she just really likes things to be "normal" I think. She doesn't like gay people either... I don't think she
doesn't like them really... I think she just isn't comfortable around them, because when she was little, she never knew any gay people, so she sees it as wrong... She's getting better about accepting different people though.
One of my cousins is gay, and my sisters and I are atheists, and my older sister is dating a guy from India. I think when she gets to know people who are different, she is seeing that they aren't bad just because they are different. She really likes my sister's boyfriend, while before she knew him, if she had seen him, she would have probably assumed he was a terrorist.
