Silent protest, boycott greet Wiccan priestess at Iowa House

I'm really glad that they let this happen. I'm a little disappointed by the reactions, but not surprised in the least.

People are critical about many things, but with paganism is complicated. I live in Brazil and despite the state is secular, it happens a lot of prejudice; much of my habits I have to do hidden from my family to avoid conflicts. I hope that in time this will change worldwide

If priests can preach in government buildings, does it mean the government can govern in church buildings?

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

“Jesus would be in the chamber, from my perspective, he would passively protest. Then he would seek that individual out and have peaceful conversation about why his way was the best way,” Taylor said.


Oh, is that what Jesus would do? Thanks for the astonishing insight, Iowa State Representative Rob Taylor. :dry:

There is always a very great prejudice against neo-pagan religions. Surely the world is not prepared to respect diversity , be it religion, or any thought that escape from the norm.
I believe that this is the problem of the human being want to standardize everything so it looks like this forever ; want a fixed and timeless point the universe
Meanwhile hide us to do our rituals ...
