As a practicing pagan of twenty-plus years
Re: Green pagans find way to White House funding and Dancing Druids
As a practicing pagan of twenty-plus years, I am horrified at your portrayal of Earth-based religions. I am specifically shocked at your misrepresentation in your ignorant explanation of our beliefs.
Yes, we reverence the Earth - it’s not only our home, but the Mother who gave birth to us all; and, yes, we deplore the ravages that industrial society has heaped upon Her in the past century. But for you to spew such blatant lies as you do in your article is unconscionable. I eat meat and kill pests in my house if necessary. I don’t worship Pan (where are your sources, in a medieval text on witchcraft?). And my acceptance of other beliefs seems light-years beyond yours.
By the way, our only problem with Christianity is that it has persecuted us for centuries. We are tolerant of all religions, just not so much of individuals who ridicule and abuse us with lies in print.
Hoping YOUR tolerance level improves,
Sincerely,
Kevin F. Murphy
