RE: Theological Attack On Public Schools/Pagan

["Dena Marchant" <denam@wsu.edu>]

Dale, Paganism is a belief system in it's own right.
Regardless of Webster's definition.

The Three Principles of the Pagan Federation

"Love for and Kinship with Nature. Reverence for the life force and its
ever-renewing cycles of life and death.

A Positive Morality, in which the individual is responsible for the
discovery and development of their true nature in harmony with the outer
world and community. This is often expressed as: Do what you will, as long
as it harms none.

Recognition of the Divine, which transcends gender, acknowledging both the
female and male aspect of Deity. "

Well, yes.  Webster's definition of pagan: "one who has little or no
religion". Since religion has been banned from government schools,
doesn't the term "pagan" seem technically correct?

The term must rub people the wrong way, like the term "government
schools" -- but I'm just striving for "truth in advertising!"  :)
