This is a weighty issue (I guess that's apparent from previous posts).
I love being Pagan. I'm proud of it, and I like talking to people about it.
But discretion is something that...is necessary sometimes. Especially in a setting like a hospital in a small Catholic area. There is a certain amount of trust given to a medical staff. You are trusting them with your health. And while it's all well and good that legally they can't do anything about you being a terrible sinner, that doesn't mean they won't...even if it's just delaying you, or something bigger. In cases like, I don't see harm in flubbing.
And at work. I work for the legal division of CPS in my county. And while we're a big city, I'd say that about 98% of the people in my office are moderate to heavy Christians. While they can't outright fire me for my beliefs, you can bet they can make me want to quit. If the subject comes up, I either let them do all the talking and change the subject when I can, or excuse myself to the ladies room, etc. Because frankly, I'd rather be private and keep my job than be all, "LOLPAGANISM" and get fired. I mean, I've got myself and my daughter to think of, and she likes to do crazy things like eat, wear clothes, and sleep with a roof over her head. XP
Point is, you can be truly proud in your heart all day long, but that doesn't mean you have to (or even should) tell anyone and everyone, even if they ask. What's more important in the end? Your wellbeing, or everyone knowing your personal beliefs? That's not a rhetorical question, either. It's one I think everyone has to decide. And neither answer is wrong. <3
You can still be a proud Pagan even if no one knows. ;D
