POPSThe rise of paganism - #open #religion #culture #environment There are probably a lot more people who believe that the way humanity acts towards its mother, nature, is sacrilege. Most of the people who call themselves atheists and agnostics would tend towards this view, not to mention the Green Spirit tendancy in Christianity, Sufis, Ba'hais, most Hindus and Buddhists, all Taoists and virtually all surviving practicioners of native spirituality would concur. It looks like we are in the majority!

POPSPagan police allowed religous holidays off work more: "It involves chanting, music, meditation, reading passages and for pagans the practices are seen to have the same power as prayer does for Christians. Most pagans practice some kind of conservation work as well to give something back to the planet." Hertfordshire Police allows Pc Pardy the eight pagan holidays off each year, including Hallowe'en, which signifies the Pagan new year, and the summer solstice in June. The days are deducted from his annual leave but because of his religion the days off are set in stone.

POPSChristians Increasingly Question Easter Observance Easter is derived directly from Ishtar, and therefore itself a pagan name entirely. It was the Roman Catholic church (that still make much of this pagan festival time period, and from which Lent is also derived) that transformed pagan holidays into "Christian" festivals in order to satisfy heathen customs, and enlarge the church. This is much the same motive for churches today. Merchandisers love drive the holiday too. While Popes of Rome often carry crosses like reenactors (something the Bible never commands), in the Philippines (dominated by Catholicism) their irrational zeal drives them further into crucifying themselves on crosses, as if it is some form of penance to do so. This proves the irrationality of the observance as a gross superstition. The American pilgrims decried the custom of both Easter and Christmas observance saying that it was both pagan and popery, and not commanded by scripture.

POPSSheela na Gig” - solving an ancient mystery "....and of course paganism was invented in the 19th Century." Ummm..... excuse me? Paganism has been around since mankind first began pondering the idea of a power outside himself. Wicca, a 20th century faith, has its main roots in 19th century influences, but it's not the entirety of paganism. What a maroon.

POPS"How The Nazis Stole Christmas" continues (full text at source): We tend to think of the relationship between organised religion and totalitarian regimes – as in the Soviet Union – as one in which freedom of religious belief and expression are ruthlessly suppressed in the name of the unity of the state. But if that is the case, what exactly is taking place in our notional Christmas scene – one which could be taking place in any German town from 1933 to 1943? Does the substitution of the swastika for the cross reveal the Nazis’ transformation of a key Christian festival into a pagan rite, an appropriation of a popular tradition for political ends or an uneasy coexistence between the German people’s old-fashioned Christmas pleasures and the imperatives of their new masters?
