Is it me, or is this really offensive reporting. Gosh, a real rounded report from NPR. What a surprise.

It is really offensive reporting...interview so extremely biased a child could see through it.

Gaudior, who is undecided whether to be more annoyed at these Greeks, or NPR...

Although I am a semi-regular NPR listener, I have to agree with y'all on this one.

Specifically, why could they just not tell the story of a neo-pagan movement in Greece?

Why did they have to slant the story and bring up the bits about burning books and "official" recognition?

Yours,

Oh I know, it's that evil old Church again. You know, the enemy of reason and thought, despite the fact that some of the greatest thinkers in history were saints. Christians put up with entirely too much. Yes, we are supposed to be gentle as doves. The wise as serpents part we never have gotten right. Christ didn't put up with nonsense, so why do so many Christians feel we have to put up with it?
