NamingHis Grace: Wicca: from my Christian perspective: a series and here, Naming His Grace: Wicca: from my Christian perspective: a series 2. And here Naming His Grace: Wicca from my Christian perspective 3. But that is not what my main clarification is meant to be about. My friend Evy honestly pointed out the problem. That is, the concern that we are failing to understand what it means to live in a democracy where we don’t question one’s religion when appointing them for an official office in the government. That happened a few years ago when some questioned whether a Christian, a Catholic, should be allowed to hold an office:
I am concerned about the medical abilities of the several candidates
for health offices, but I know we can’t question their religion. We are after
all the United States of America where we still, hopefully, experience religious
freedom.

Where did you post "A Near Wicken Speaking Spells" yesterday?
Sorry, this is Jodie Gallo asking
You can't question a person's religion but you can question their beliefs. A person who is a member of the Flat Earth Society and believes the Earth is flat (yeah, they really do) is free to have those beliefs but those beliefs do disqualify them from being the head of NASA.
Though in Trump's regime it would not be implausible that he would nominate just such a person; and not implausible that his followers in Congress would approve of just such a nomination.
After all, it's exactly what happened with the Department of Health and Human Services; and a few others as well. People with beliefs and practices that are incompatible with fulfilling the mission of the departments they are supposed to head have been put in charge of those departments. We could go through them one by one.
It's a real problem, and it is causing mayhem in the Government of the United States of America. I kind'a think that's the point. The chaos it is generating is serving a greater purpose.
