- Perhaps it would be a good idea to keep tabs on anti-pagan groups, their
- methods and activities through a cooperative effort of monitoring their
- television and radio programming and literature within this group. I
- usually try to keep up with some of the more outrageous of these groups,
- but it isn't easy. While I have never been involved in any sort of
- public pagan organization, let alone pagan politicical activism, I can
- see that it is a good idea to "know the enemy," especially in light of
- the recent (and widespread) trend on these programs to treat of the
- subject of spiritual/cultural-warfare. It's sometimes frightening to
- consider the vast establishment of ignorance and bigotry within the
- Christian church and the influence and high stature the groups hold
- in society, even for a very private pagan person like me. So.
-
- If you as a group feel so inclined, try to do your part and monitor
- local and national anti-pagan, anti-religious-freedom programming,
- call their telephone numbers and get on their mailing lists and then
- distribute your findings on alt.pagan. I don't mind collecting
- material and re-distributing it in the form of a periodic posting...
- Whatever. My point is that this should be a cooperative, organized
- effort, because it does potentially affect everyone who considers
- themselves pagan. I can't imagine a better use for this forum.
