Pagans Behaving Badly
I'm not a Pagan or anything, but several of my friends are. I can understand someone's quest for meaning in nature, and I'm the first to extoll the virtues of running naked through the forests singing "la ti da, la ti da, I'm an ancient tree-elf communing with the Ents and the Green-Man." But I'm also a big fan of charity works, and I just haven't seen Druid's Charities listed in the yellow pages next to Catholic Charities or Combined Jewish Philanthropies.But there is one critical aspect of organized religion that my Pagan amigoes have got down cold. Just about all of them look down on someone else. So just like the Babtists look down on the Methodists, so do the Unitarian Pagans look down upon the "Church of All Worlds" guys. I was happy to find a student of such relations in Ashley Yakeley. Ashley's "The Pagan Hierarchy" at http://seapagan.org/pagan-hierarchy/ does a great job of explaining who looks down on whom.
It was also made with OmniGraffle. W00t!
(Oh... as a clarification... let me simply say that I do not personally look down on the Church of All Worlds guys or the Unitarian Pagans. You're both great, guys!)
