Pagans Plan Pride Day To Ease Misgivings ***…..From an early age, Crom said, he found Christianity lacking in areas, particularly tolerance, reverence for nature and emphasis on the free will of the individual.

``I was searching for a religion that made me feel comfortable,'' he said.

Crom was a member of the Pinellas organization. When he moved north a few years ago, he and others founded Pasco Pagans. The group, which says it has at least 50 members, has a Web site (www.pascopagans .com .com) devoted to educating the public and expressing views.

``There's a lot of pagans in Pasco County,'' Crom said.

Modern-day paganism is a collection of beliefs rather than a single religion. It's polytheistic - there are many gods - and it includes ancient religions whose underlying theme is of faith based on nature and respect for one another.

Followers embrace such movements as Wicca, New Age Mysticism, American Indian practices, tarot readings and even Buddhism, a mainstream religion in Asian societies. ….***

AMENDMENT I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

How does the above pertain to a town council saying a prayer before a meeting?

I'm afraid of pagans. Let's silence them. Is that how religious freedom is supposed to go?

"Huge legal bill"

Given the ACLU's numerous filings of lawsuits, tying up court dockets, I think it should cost them $500,000 for each from now on. IF they win, they could get it back, otherwise they could count it the cost of doing business.

When Any Court violates th eclear and unambiguous language of the Constitution a fraud is perpetrated and no-one is bound to obey it."(Constitutional Quotes -constitution.org)
Seems a legal precedent too often ignored. When the American people are once again educated and have been hurt
bad enough by that lawless despotic branch perhaps we will
once again learn to be Americans.And demand of our leaders
the Rule of Law administered by just Judges.
