On the question about nazism, the ~10 point difference between groups is statistically significant (chi-square=26.19, p=.0001), meaning that it's wildly unlikely that this kind of thing could happen by chance. (this doesn't do anything to address the representativeness of your samples, though). <br /><br />Did the question also have an option for "fascism is awesome and my religion should support it?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443926733658770096.post-34608036488452410562010-10-28T20:31:18.426-04:002010-10-28T20:31:18.426-04:00"Speaking personally, this is the result that..."Speaking personally, this is the result that I find most troubling. I want to be part of a Pagan movement that is clear on where it stands in rejecting racism and Nazism, and not only those specific words, but any and all related attitudes of the superiority of one racial, ethnic or ancestral group over another."<br /><br />What on earth does any of this have to do with religion?! <br /><br />Call me old fashioned, but I want to be part of an Asatru movement that worships the Æsir and Vanir, I resent the implication that I have some sort of responsibility to make comments about particular political groups. As I get older and more entrenched in a Heathen mindset, I become less and less interested in politics and I think I have the right to be apolitical. But if I was to make a list of political ideologies that we should be renouncing, then surely Communism should be top of the list, since it has been far more destructive and oppressive than Nazism ever was.Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443926733658770096.post-57310344534950343692010-10-27T20:40:19.897-04:002010-10-27T20:40:19.897-04:00DAMN IT!!

I will try to see if I can retrieve them from my own email and repost them as one LONG single message.

I didnt see ANYTHING that said that Asatru and Heathens were pro nazism or neonazism. Not really sure were you get that from your information. As Sena points out, what is your base and size of group for the survey. Also, I never saw the survey myself. I find it extremely disturbing because it appears that your trying to put down Asatru and Heathenry. THAT bothers me because my faith is very important to me and as a Shaman I really am having a difficult time with your misconception and misrepresentation of my faith to others.Dawniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592329295106223058noreply@blogger.com
