[MD] subject/object: pragmatism

[Arlo Bensinger]

[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?
