Sun: 05'Cancer
Moon: 22'Aquarius
You know, I've spoken about spiritual warfare before. Last time it was in the context of what Pagans face from some of the more determined religious fanatics of the Christian Right here at home.
Conscience forces me to address it, however, when I see another ethnicity being attacked for their beliefs - quite literally. So it was with great disgust that I noticed an article on the HuffPo about "Ji-hawg" bullets - bullets painted with pork-laced paint, meant specifically for use against Muslims.

Religious Freedom and the Constitution: The Summer Solstice Protests in Pahokee, Florida
Sun: 09'Gemini
Moon: 02'Pisces
Waning Moon, approaching Last Quarter
Among other rights, the US Constitution guarantees the right to freedom of religion to all American citizens. Any religion, none at all - that is the right of the citizen.
The Bible says to love thy neighbor as thyself. One interpretation of this, in the social-responsibility context, that if you would like to continue to exercise your rights, you must allow and fight for your neighbor to do the same. I note, however, that the words of Jesus make no mention of categorization or exception: there's no exemption to loving your gay neighbor, even if you don't like the idea of two people of the same sex in a loving, committed sexual relationship with one another. And there's no exemption to loving your Pagan neighbor, even if you don't agree with their faith.
So I am curious how the good Evangelical Christian folks of Pahokee, Florida justify the bigotry in their own ranks. Bigotry is a strong word, but take a look at these gems...
