Lead Topic

• Generation Y and their influence on mainstreaming Paganism

Topics of Discussion

• Obama criticized for saying Pennsylvanians are bitter and cling to religion and guns when their government fails them. Dude, isn’t he just telling it as it is?
• What’s going with FLDS in Texas, could this highlight the lack of oversight with regards to Child Protective Services / Child & Youth Services, especially their religious discriminatory ways? They’ve been targeting FLDS for a while, but what if this particular (admittedly, unusual) group actually was innocent?
• Should Pagan groups (or churches in general) set rules for whether members of the press can attend religious services? Inspired by this article on GetReligion.org about Obama’s church
• GetReligion.org The Mass Media Just Doesn’t Understand Religion - proper reporting of Religious issues is a two-way street.
• Pagan groups, do they lose their edginess as they become more accepted/mainstreamed? - Inspired by an article on the Wild Hunt Blog: http://www.wildhunt.org/2008/04/mainstream-acceptance-in-salem.html
• From Non-Fluffy Wicca: Doctor Who is the Tool of Satan… wow, seriously we can’t make this crap up.
• Environmentalist Hippies Gone Wild: SaveHatteras.com (Amber)
