Most of you have probably seen this already, but I wanted to share it anyway. When I was living with my parents, I used to watch Nightline with my mum before bed. I remember their “Faith Matters” segments and always bemoaned that they were only devoted to the big monotheistic religions. I just wanted one segment… Just one?
Well here it is! Finally! Only, it focuses on British Paganism. Not a terrible thing, of course! I wish they would look at what’s going on in America. Maybe they felt it would be easier for Americans to digest if it were about those eccentric Brits. I don’t know…
The video is dramatized, but it could be much worse. I’m impressed that they interviewed a rather level-headed policeman rather than the strangest person they could find (which usually happens). The newscasters seem more amused… so much for an unbiased tone. I guess that’s rare in any news media these days…
