Pagans and the public trough

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Re: Green pagans find way to White House funding and Dancing Druids
I find it most interesting that many such as Ms McLeod should have such high opinions of their knowledge of what it means to be and act like a Pagan and yet have no actual knowledge of the subject. While I agree that it [...]

I am a Pagan, and I agree with you

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Re: Green pagans find way to White House funding and Dancing Druids
I am a Pagan, and I agree with you - Pagans shouldn’t accept money from the government. Any group that needs the legitimization and support of the government needs a serious overhaul. That being said, I don’t think that [...]

Pagans and Federal funding

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Re: Green pagans find way to White House funding and Dancing Druids
I read your piece about how pagans are flipping out at you. After reading your original discourteous statements about pagans having no right to federal funding accorded to other religions I have to wonder, what did you expect? To want federal funding [...]

ordained minister and a believer of a Pagan tradition

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Re: Green pagans find way to White House funding and Dancing Druids
As an ordained minister and a believer of a Pagan tradition, I found
your article offensive.
You presented a number of “facts” in your article that are inherently false.
First of all, you should know that both George Bush and John Ashcroft
were on the record, before Bush’s [...]

Christianity and the Pagan spiritual path

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Re: Green pagans find way to White House funding and Dancing Druids
After reading your article in response to many letters
you received regarding your article on Green Pagans. I
have to wonder who your editor is and how he/she
missed your spelling and grammatical mistakes.
I also wonder where you received the idea that a Pagan
spiritual path is not [...]

Narrow-mindedness and Pagans

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Re: Green pagans find way to White House funding and Dancing Druids
Merry Meet Ms. McLeod,
Well you did sound off on how you feel about us poor benighted Pagans. Tell me dear do you want a US citzenship? I know you are just the type of narrow minded person our beloved President is looking for. [...]

Pagans and the separation of Church and State

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Re: Green pagans find way to White House funding and Dancing Druids
There’s so much in your article that I could comment on, but I’ll stick to
just two points. First is your contention that Gaia theory adherents
believe that “all living things on earth are interconnected (except man)”.
Gaia adherents see all living things, even man, as [...]

World religions and Pagans

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Re: Green pagans find way to White House funding and Dancing Druids
This letter is in response to Judi McLeod’s columns posted on January 11 and 17, 2005, regarding her view how “green Pagans” should not be funded by President George W. Bush’s faith based initiative.
First, I think that program - which was never [...]

Green Pagans and funding

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Re: Green pagans find way to White House funding and Dancing Druids
If Ms. McLeod wants to give her opinion, let it be put in the editorial dept. and be labeled as such. But to be passed off as a News Article when it is highly tainted by opinion and tries to tar whole groups of [...]

Faith Based Funding

Sunday, August 21st, 2005

Re: Green pagans find way to White House funding and Dancing Druids
“For all of their hype, adherents of Gaia are pagans, and pagans should never be funded through the Faith Based and Community Initiative of President George W. Bush. ”
Just why shouldn’t we?
We, pagans, are people of faith, just not the christian faith. [...]
