Which is more important? Good morals and ethics or the ‘right’ religeon?

I am a moral person with good ethics. I try to spread love and joy in the world. Why do Christians get upset because I am a Pagan?

I know that “Earth” derives from the name of the Germanic Goddess (Eartha/Hertha/?), but I don’t know *why* our planet is the only one in the solar system with a non-Greek/Roman name. Why not Terra/Tellus or Gaia/Gaea? I’m just curious if anyone knows when it became “Earth”…

Are Holde and Sif related?

Is there any connection between the Germanic Goddess, Holde, and the Norse Goddess and wife of Odin, Sif? Any blaring simularities?
