Pagan Cops Get Solstice Leave

Seriously? Yeah, Seriously:
Pagan police officers in some areas are being allowed to take as many as eight days leave a year for events such as the summer solstice and Halloween.

It comes after the Pagan Police Association was set up following discussions with Home Office officials.

Policy on police leave varies between forces in England and Wales.

Hertfordshire Police lets Pagan staff re-allocate the traditional bank holidays to meet their beliefs – it has also appointed two Pagan chaplains.

Paganism? The real, genuine “old-time” religion? There’s a website, though it’s rudimentary.

There’s this interesting photo. What you have to love about LDPs (latter day pagans™) is the artsy, craftsy side of them.

I’d celebrate the joy of pagans everywhere, but you know what this means: Newt Gingrich is gonna freak!

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee urged Christians to get involved in politics to preserve the presence of religion in American life.

“I think this is one of the most critical moments in American history,” Gingrich said. “We are living in a period where we are surrounded by paganism.”

Oh noes! The pagans are coming! The pagans are coming!
