- Every sentence in her article is a very distorted viewpoint and inflammatory on religion, life and the reality of nature as a whole. She's exposed her own misunderstanding and shouldn't be reporting like this. 'Stones of praise' is very insulting and shows she has very negative attitude towards any form of spirituality. No doubt this arises from her own personal psychological issues, resulting in her writing nothing but lies in her articles which should not be published or else it will mislead it's readers.

- As an intellegent individual i was outraged at the opinion of Melanie Philips because she has obviously not taken into consideration in her arguement that paganism predated christianity as the basic form of religion in this and many other countries .We and others that are practicing and non practicing pagans/druids etc are just exercising our freewill to believe and worship as we want . THIS IS NOT THE DARK AGES OR THE TIME OF THE SPANISH INQUISTION AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PRACTICE OUR RELIGION WITHOUT FEAR OF RECRIMATIONS IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM .

- I am absolutely out-raged and deeply offended that a national newspaper allowed such a blatant attack on paganism as that. They wouldn't dare do it to Islam, Judaism or Christianity.

- If Scientology can get in as a 'religion' surely Druids shouldn't have any hassle. Considering I don't see druids killing off ex-members when they decide to leave.

- Melanie Philips is extremely insulting in her comments to pagans and other religions. I am very concerned that such predjudiced and often incorrect information was allowed to go to print. Some of this is clearly ignorance and old fashioned scare mongering.

- I thought it was very upsetting for all pagan paths to have to be slanted in public like this why should we put up with it, we have as much right to be respected as a religion as any other faith has a human right to be.
