Vulgarweed, natch, likes The Rude Pundit very much.

And his post today on that "Marriage Amendment" abomination is GOLD.


"Check out President Bush's radio address (the one that only a spastically jiggling Jerry Falwell listens to while using a rifle barrel to tickle his prostate madly) from this past Saturday. Motherfucker could barely get through the thing without sayin' that gay marriage makes the baby Jesus cry."

Er... I thought you were pagan too? Going to have to re-read some emails, because now I'm utterly confused :/

Let me tell you a story. I have a friend with dual US/Canadian citizenship. When he crosses the Border into the US, he's American; when he crosses the Border into Canada, he's Canadian. It's just simpler that way.

Religiously, I'm a dual homer; raised Christian and assimilated as Pagan, I consider myself both. Out in the woods at night, and better it be if the moon is full, I dance in the Lady's light; Sunday mornings, I sit in the chancel and sing the soprano part of assorted Elgar and plainsong. At times, it just makes sense to me to stand up and be counted on a particular issue. When Christians are being bleeding idiots, I feel a need to oppose them as a Christian.

Sorry if I confused you. Hell, some days I confuse me. (But not many.) ;]

Hee. My mom has dual US/Brazilian citizenship, she does that all the time (and there are certain parts of the world she won't use the US passport at all if she can help it).

Makes perfect sense - if you're "dual" in some way, it seems like a denial of who you are, some part of yourself, to do otherwise. In a way I've dealt with a version of this all the time, as a bi-ethnic person who looks just "white" and I feel it's important to point out that it's not that simple. :)

Your description of your faiths is beautiful, and I see no contradiction.

No, actually that makes sense to me. Might not to others, but it does to me. I assimilate from plenty areas, and I'm as eclectic as an Eclectic can get :)

Hey, since Christianity really is polytheistic, no matter how much some Christians try to act otherwise (why else do we have the Trinity? Not to mention all those saints?), this makes perfect sense to me!

You're in the same position as a Voudoun/Christianity hybrid person who sees no problem in praying to both Jehovah and to Erzulie Dantor.

Eggs-actly.

Most practitioners of Candomble in Brazil consider themselves also to be Catholic. And they are.
