However I defy any religious conservative to defend this town.
If this were the federal government closing down this camp, I'd agree with you. The fact that it's the local community doing so, however, is fine by me.
If there was a 'religion' that esposed pedophilia, enjoined its members to public nudity, drunken orgies, etc, are you telling me that the local community is powerless to act against it? If so, you would take us back to the times before 306 AD. And you call us 'reactionary'? Knowing a bit about witchery and what they call 'paganism', it's clear to me that this is less a 'religion' than an excuse to debauch oneself anyway.

"If there was a 'religion' that esposed pedophilia, enjoined its members to public nudity, drunken orgies, etc, are you telling me that the local community is powerless to act against it?" Pedophilia is illegal and anyone engaging in it should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Nudity and Orgies are not illegal, and no the local community should not be able to stop it, if it occurs on private land. Try this, supposing you are a religious conservative, and form a conservative church or group in an area or town dominated by Liberals, Do the Liberals have the right to tell you that you cannot meet or worship?? What you are doing is giving the community rights above the individual based on community norms. The community has a right to comment on what is done in a "public" arena, but not what happens on private land or a private home as long as the behavior is not illegal.
