[Platt] Freedom of religion is something many pagan worshippers seem to be against.
[Marsha] I've known many "pagans", and they actually understand the meaning of archetype and metaphor. [Arlo] There is certainly a stronger emphasis on the monomythical archetype and world-historical allegories among modern "pagans" than is found among the Christian population. Most "pagans" I know and read stress the "esoteric" meaning of the myth, while most "Christians" stress the "exoteric" words of the stories (as do most "Muslims" and "Jews" (apart from perhaps the Kabbahlists)). We'll see if Platt can offer any examples of "pagan worshippers" would are against "freedom of religion". But note, this is just all so much distraction from the meaning of my post. Moronic statements like "As yes, forever the "enlightened" academic, casting his pearls before swine" only show the sad rhetoric of those who only offer insipid rhetorical maneuvering in lieu of anything meaningful and substantive. And so we'll move into a ridiculous chain where "nihilists, pagans and academics" are evil, vile, threats to the Noble Righteousness of the Religious Traditionalist. We'll see moronic statements implying "Arlo wants to abolish Christmas" and "Freedom of religion is something many pagan worshippers seem to be against." Of course, who would've expected anything more?
