If they'd said "Christian" would they have really printed that crap??

I am often amazed and the bullcrap some people print in professional newspapers.

If this guest commentary at MichNews.com had been about Christianity, it never would have been published.

QUOTE: "Even now, as I write this, I envision modern day Americans bowing down to trees and rocks and rivers and oceans paying homage to Gaia the “earth mother”. How utterly disgusting it is to see grown men and women make complete fools of themselves in pagan worship services on this day. What makes it truly disturbing is that these same men and women who, on this Wednesday, bow down to the idols of a false god, a pagan god, Gaia, will rush to church or temple or synagogue on Saturday, or Sunday, and keep a straight face while they go through the motions of worshiping the creator of all this is, seen and unseen.
Yes, the pagans are back from the fringes of society and the shadows of civilization to take advantage of mankind's deep yearning for something to worship that he, or she, can see and hold and touch and pay tribute to in order to, somehow, redeem himself/herself from whatever his/her, darkest fears happen to be. They call it environmentalism, but those of us who recognize it for what it is call it by its real name… paganism" END QUOTE

They call this crap not OPINION, but VERBAL ASSAULT and INSULTS, and when you become this INSULTING it becomes HARASSMENT and VERBAL ABUSE.

What moron at Michnews decided it was okay to do this? If they had said something like this about blacks, Jews, Hispanics or some other minority they never would have published it out of common sense. Obviously, they think it's okay to bash Pagans, who are now a larger population than Muslims or Jews in the United States.

Dumbasses.
