Re: Church & State News
This just doesn't make sense. What the heck does religion have to do with the armed forces? Isn't government supposed to be separate from religion? Maybe i'm thinking of something else.Anubisa

Re: Church & State News
Our state (Iowa) allows a blessing at the opening of the state senate and house so long as the blessing is inclusive. A Wiccan member of my church will be the first Wiccan in the country to offer a blessing at the state level. http://www.kcrg.com/subject/news/wic...house-20150328We are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less. There is good and evil among every kind of people. It's the evil among us who rule now. -Anne Bishop, Daughter of the Blood
I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

I think the sad part is that I can actually see a lot of christians following through on some of these things though, from my experience in a charismatic evangelical church. v_v

And then she made a comment in one interview about how she has her first degree in the Cabot tradition. So the Cabot's are on her now and have given her an ultimatum. The invocation she was going to do was an inclusive one more in line with the Unitarian Universalist ideologies (she is also a lay minister for the UU). She was told by the Cabots (the daughter was the one who called her) that she could not act as a UU minister and a Cabot priestess. If she did not do the invocation in the Cabot tradition, she would loose their backing and her priesthood. And since the invocation is required by state to be inclusive, she's not sure if they are going to allow her to do the Cabot invocation. In which case she will be calling them back and going from there.We are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less. There is good and evil among every kind of people.

...And this is why we continue to have bad PR.
Seriously. Public change is incremental. It requires baby steps, it takes coddling, and coaxing, and compassion, and buckets of patience. Decades of work*. For groups of people that are all *oh, ancient traditions and ideals*, they sure don't understand concepts of communites very well.
And what happends when someone finally has this opportunity?
Oh, well...if you don't do it *my* way, it doesn't count and I will fry you publically.
*and that is decades of behind the scenes work just to get to the point where visible activism can work, and even then (if you look at the Civil Rights movement in the US as an example, it took over 10 years of protests) it takes years of civil action to get real changeWonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of HistoryPagan Devotionals, because the wind and the rain is our Bible

Atheist Mom Gets Threats After School Cancels 'Bible Man' Visits
"We just can't get over how much hate there is in their loving, Christian hearts," the mother, who has not been identified due to the nature of the threats, told the station.
And this here:
Oklahoma Satanist church wants permission to distribute books in elementary school
Less than two weeks after a third-grade teacher in Duncan, Okla., distributed Gideon Bibles to her students, the Church of Ahriman, a Satanist church in Oklahoma City, has asked permission to distribute Satanist literature at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School.Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
