Our national political leadership, news media, and entertainment industry - as well as much of our corporate culture - are now mostly pagan. Our situation reminds me of the Weimar Republic, kind of a Petri dish of developing naturalistic paganism, a mix of hedonism, nihilism, anti-Christianity, anti-Judaism, affluence coupled with wide scale unemployment, social anomie, and anger. As I said in an earlier post, the Nazi experience will never be repeated in its particulars, but a growing paganism bodes ill for the country. 20th century paganism - in all its competing forms - was a vast experiment in mass murder. Can it happen in the USA? I no longer can rule it out.
You have explained the situation at hand very well.
