The thing they hated more than anything -- more than blondes, alcohol, tobacco -- was Roman Catholicism. My adopted father believed that it was foretold in the Bible that the pope would get together with the Communists in Russia to wipe out the true faith in England. I just think I rebounded from all that.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.boston.com/ae/books/articles/2006/10/22/all_plot_and_no_lifestyle_and_proud_of_it/"><P><B>Q. </B>Not that you portray paganism as warm and fuzzy.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.boston.com/ae/books/articles/2006/10/22/all_plot_and_no_lifestyle_and_proud_of_it/"><P><B>A. </B>That whole modern Wicca thing annoys me. But what I like about the paganism I describe is that it's not quite so keen on rules, and there's a feeling that the gods are fallible. Alfred the Great, however, was intent on imposing rules.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B74B85EC-51E6-4F0F-AFE9-F2C5D4AD3D73/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
