Sending kids to a Christian revival for a field trip is just plain bizarre.

No more bizarre then sending them to a Native American ceremony or an anti-drug rally.

No, that isn't bizarre to those that are accustomed to it. Teaching a homosexual and Alternative lifestyle is. Changing the truth of God into a lie is not only bizarre (confusion) but an abomination, yet the schools make that mandatory!

If you want bizarre, take a look at some of the Pagan's own words:

"We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote:

The inherent worth and dignity of every person.
Justice, equity and compassion in human relations.
Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations.

NO problems so far

Free and responsible search for truth and meaning

Opps - The search is limited in scope only to pagan rituals?

The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.

Opps again. Democratic process? That is why they are suing, because they were outvoted?

The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all.
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

Opps again. Respect for all? Unless they are Christians apparently.

"The living tradition we share draws from many sources:
Direct experience of that transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures, which moves us to a renewal of the spirit and an openness to the forces which create and uphold life

Opps. The Force Luke, let the Force guide you...

Words and deeds of prophetic women and men which challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love Wisdom from the world's religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life.

Women and men? why not Men and Women, as is far more common?

Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God's love by loving our neighbors as ourselves.

God? Oh, God is finally mentioned. What happened to the Force, Obi Wan?

Humanist teachings which counsel us to heed the guidance of reason and the results of scence, and warn us against idolatries of the mind and spirit.
Spiritual teachings of Earth-centered traditions which celebrate the sacred circle of life and instruct us to live in harmony with the rhythms of nature.

Opps - Earth centered traditions? What the hell is that?

Grateful for the religious pluralism which enriches and ennobles our faith, we are inspired to deepen our understanding and expand our vision.

Opps - Unless we are invited to attend a Christian Field trip.

As free congregations we enter into this covenant, promising to one another our mutual trust and support.

Hmmm, God is mentioned once. Next lesson will be on the "Rite of the Fluffy Bunny Goddess"

Now that, my friend is bizarre.
