Although it is obvious from your derogatory remarks about modern paganism and one of its leaders, the witch Starhawk, that this is a religion you do not like, No, you fail to read clearly. I think Starhawk is a fraud, as are modern "neo-pagans." It's a made-up religion by a bunch of bored sububuranites, and it has all the authenticity of putting on feathers and warpaint and announcing to the world that you are the Cheyenne Nation. Far from being offended by it, I think it is stupid. Hakeem may be a fine sociologist, but he's a pretender at history and religion. His tendentious writing may even please you, but it isn't scholarly. As an example, his citations of Pentecost and Walvoord in your first post would be applicable only to American dispensationalists, and even there he misrepresents what that particular group thinks. More likely you aren't well enough read in Christian writing to know how off base his material is, but if it's Christian-bashing you want then the accuracy of his writing isn't the point.
