And this is why I tend to keep my politics to myself.THE Michael, if your dictionary says that “Conservative” is defined as “worshipping The ONE True Christ”, then I suggest you take urbanhellenistos’ suggestion and switch to Webster’s or the OED.I’m a conservative from the days of Barry Goldwater–which, I assure you, is nowhere near the NeoCon end of the spectrum.

Hey, THE Michael, If you equate “Pagan” with “Wiccan,” then I understand why you are confused about how a Pagan can be Conservative. But there are many other branches of Paganism, some very ancient. For myself, being Asatru, I tend to be quite conservative, and most of the Asatruar I know are also conservative. It is a totally different world-view and totally different set of ethics than Wicca or Neo-Paganism. Yet it is still very much Pagan. I know several CR’s who are also rather conservative, though not to the degree that most Asatruar are. So please, don’t make the mistake of thinking that all Pagan religions share the same values or the same world view that Wicca does.
