cyberspiceBBC4's the moral maze is currently looking at Christmas and Paganism.
They are currently talking to, or interogating if you will, the leader of the British Druids and she's already rubbing me up the wrong way. She's a radical vegan and her comment that "nearly all pagans are vegetarian" is making me think "How dare you speak for me!".
I am pagan and I eat meat. I respect nature and recognise our place in nature but also recognise the food chain and the circle of life and see no problem with farming and killing animals for use as food provided it is done in a 'humane' way.
And now they have a representative of the Christian Alliance and what a bunch of funda-nazis they are!
I've never heard this program before and it seems that they have gone and picked the most radical of interviewees to make the program interesting and as a result they have made it valueless. If they had gone and got some more moderate people then it might have been interesting.
