I see there has been a lot of "multiculturalization" going on here, even on this site, and I have to tell you that it makes me sick. How can you people defend pagans? Paganism is based on ancient practices of human sacrifice, idol worship, and deviant sexuality. There may be a school of "neo-paganism" or whatever, but those roots are inextricably bound to the beginnings. Paganism works hand in hand (to use the polite term) w/ the "homosexual revolution" and the forces of socialism. These people are deviants. The only true way is Jesus Christ. All these people are going to burn in hell.

human sacrifice, idol worship, and deviant sexuality.

Err... lets see.

human sacrifice - Nope, sorry

idol worship - that's just silly. An 'idol' is a symbol, just like a cross.

deviant sexuality - I'm a cunning linguist. That's about as deviant as I get.

All these people are going to burn in hell.

The thought turns you on, huh?

How can you people defend pagans?

Maybe because the First Amendment applies to everyone. You think?

How can you people defend pagans?

Same way I can defend you. We can all have our own religious beliefs now matter how trivial or ridiculous I think yours are. You see? Isn't that fair?

As a pagan, I am perfectly comfortable in telling you the last half of your moniker should be "wrong."

I'm convinced — let's crucify those heretics right now.

It looks like we have the same struggle in the conservative movement as the one between the traditionalists and the libertarians in the 1960s.

Like it or not, we've been "losered." I'm not convincing anyone to drop their standards, any more than Meyer did with respect to Kirk, Bozell, et. al. back when the Goldwater coalition was being clapped together, but there is such a thing as being too exclusive.

Liberalism is anti-piety at its core. If you're good 'n harmless to them, you're cloyed. If not, your pride is cut.

I know there's a non-amity between Christianity and witchcraft. Not only have I felt this in my guts, but also seen it in theory. The bedrock of witch's justice is "fairness," in the sense that some need to be raised and other knocked down. Comforting the underdog and dogging the overdog, as it were. The mighty shall fall, and the humble shall be raised.

The trouble, from the standpoint of the Christian religion, is that the Biblical equivalent has tradtitionally been the entry point for pseudo-Christian Machiavellians. Every time the Church emphasizes this, as in France during the Old Regime, it gets closer to the State.

And a person becoming such a "leveler" is an excellent way to express plain hate using the clothes of the Book.

So there is a real conflict here. It explains both why Wicca is soemtimes "creepy" - and also why witches get killed when the spirit of Machiavel invades the Christian faithful.

You're kidding right?? Either that or your a liberal trying to perpetuate conservative stereotypes.
