I believe that's faulty logic. If a pagan wants to run for office, so what? You're saying because somebody wants to worship, say, 'Nana' the Earth mother that they're unfit for office? As I said in my post, if it doesn't involve human sacrifice, etc, who are we to say how anybody else should believe? Realistically, though, what do you think the chances would be for somebody to actually run for Regional and National office as anything but an adherent to some sort of flavor of mainstream (ie 'acceptable') Christianity? How many Jehovah's Witnesses are in high political office? Again, if you're an American, you're subject to American culture and laws, which are based on Judeo Christian principles. You can be a pagan (and by that, I use the term pretty loosely as most people that I know who claim that sort of belief system are, in fact, just tyring to make a statement.) and still adhere to the law of the land.

No, you've misunderstood my point, which is this: What a person believes to be true of life (worldview) is how he will shape and mold his family.

Broaden that to include an entire society. Perhaps it might be easier to think of what I'm saying by replacing 'pagan' with 'Islamic". What if Islamics began running for office (Congress, President, etc) with the intention of Islamicizing America?

Americans need to become better informed voters. Had they done that and not elected a bunch of socialists who aren't loyal to this nation's founding documents and cultural institutions, we wouldn't be having a culture war today.
