NeoNote — I don't think politics should be a part of paganism
“But yes, this is between you and him.”— Shawn Herles, comments from Pagan Community Notes: exorcism and hexing, Canada Pagan community, Michigan Scholarship Fund, and more.
❝I'd rather not deal with him at all.
I don't think politics should be a part of paganism.
I know that puts me in direct opposition to the "the personal is political" crowd. I know this isn't a political site. I'd rather not see politics here at all.
There are reasons I separated my political blogging from my pagan blogging. There are reasons why there is no "politics" category at my pagan/life blog and there is only a tag for "ugh-politics" there.
Politics corrupt, especially religion. We know that from the People of the Book. Why on Earth are we so damned determined to prove it again?❞❝When you let your politics define your personhood, there's not much room left for your personhood outside of your politics. Without your personhood, you can lose empathy and humanity.❞— label
