		<description><![CDATA[Should a Heathen politician act like a Christian when entering politics? It might garner more votes, seeming to be like everyone else, but the focus on honor, on realism over dogmatism, or as I’ve always put it, “good old fashioned Scandinavian pragmatism” the political landscape might be a refreshing place.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a long overdue review of Diana Paxson’s Essential Ásatrú, a book mentioned by S.M. Stirling as a resource for his Emberverse series (previously reviewed here). Diana Paxson is both a Pagan and an author – not only of speculative fiction but of nonfiction works relating to various aspects of Paganism. Essential Asatru: Walking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our world of assumed certainty, things are far less certain than we like to pretend. As it turns out, gender roles and categories are nebulous, shifting things. In the end, they are what we say they are from age to age and culture to culture. We decide man = x and woman = y but x and y are neither fixed nor universal.]]></description>

Like the Air Force Academy's sacred space set aside for those following nature-based religions. And nobody noticed. Why? Because the Air Force didn't tell anybody.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Especially since the election of Barack Obama, Republicans who do not object to every proposal the president makes are accused of not really being Republican. This once unofficial trend has become doctrinaire (the ranting of Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck, Hannity and others) and has now been codified as of Friday, January 29, 2010: A proposal for a “litmus test” which would have required candidates to affirm ten core conservative positions (Ten Commandments anyone?) did not materialize but what did still amounts to a creed:  GOP candidates must support the party's platform if they want gold for their war chests.]]></description>

Christianity succeeded because it was imposed by force, including torture and death. It was maintained by the same forces throughout the centuries. ]]></description>

A spokesman for the Bay Area Air Quality Management District does not offer an encouraging answer: "We know a lot of people like to burn on this holiday, but it's our duty to protect public health," said Ralph Borrmann, the spokesman.]]></description>
