Firstly, druidism has a long place in British history which long predates Christianity. So we have every right ro recognise it. Or are we only supposed to celebrate Christianity?.

Secondly, this version is basically a hippy trippy version, a harmless modern bit of new age. About as evil and demonic as worry stones and crystals.

I didn’t say anything about not recognizing it.

I’m a devout Christian, but I’m not big on “demonic” worries. I actually do read Harry Potter and such (and consider it a strongly Christian book, actually). The moralities and plots exhibit strong Christian morality. If the setting was different, Christians would be lauding it.

My thought is (and I admit, I have a strong bias) is that Christianity is such a superior religion. It is based on so many superior philosophies, and so many great thinkers of the world came out of it. I know it is not PC to say that nowadays, but IMHO this is so.

It is a remarkable faith that leads to logical thinking when rightly devined. Even PBS had a special here that called Calvinism the Father of American Democracy. Worshipping natural forces is something we have been called out of - as the Bible says, “worshipping the creature rather than the creator” is a step backwards.

I listen to the music nowadays, look at the art, look at the theatre, and I see pure self indulgance and mediocre. I would be ashamed to have Bach hear our music. Heck, I would be ashamed to have Cole Porter hear our music.

I see advances in science, but not much else. Culturally we have moved backwards.
