Hail!
I heard about this on Monday, so I'm sorry that I didn't post it then, but I wanted to talk about something that really makes me want to shake my head. It seems that an unoffical member of AFA is upset about our declaration against racism, homophobia, and other things that we just don't need in the community. Here's the link.

Now this really makes me wonder about the state of the community, or I should say people that follow a religion like Asatru, or Heathenism, that hates a different opinion. People like him are the reason that I don't call myself a heathen. If he wants to waste his money on something has stupid as this, which shows the state of how people feel when others exercise their constitutional rights, then I really worry about the future of this community.
If he manages to shut down Heathen Talk Network, which I do something not agree with, then what's next? If he manages to have The Troth shut down or even the group that I'm apart of, TAC, then what's next? It seems that he only wants one kind of heathenism noticed, the kind that makes us, as a whole, look bad. The kind that makes people think that we hate other people. I might not agree with most people but I do agree with their right to either have an opinion or be a certain way.
I don't support someone shutting down another person's opinion or using the courts to get that opinion stifled. I pray to Odin that the judge will have the wisdom to shut this case down and throw it out and I pray to Thor that those that are being targeted will have the strength to stand up against this. Personally I can't wait to hear that it's been thrown out. Of course I'm worried that if that happens that he'll personally target the homes of heathens that he lost to.
And that will make heathenism look even worse.
