Hi Frosty,
Here's something that might be useful: <a href="http://www.vcyamerica.org/crosstalk/programs.cfm" target="_blank">Recent Crosstalk Programs</a> If you're not familiar with it already, Crosstalk is a wacky fundie radio program originating somewhere in Wisconsin. I often listen to it while running -- strictly for its entertainment value, of course. In the program archives, check out 9/13/02: Ingrid Schlueter: New Age, New Paganism. I just listened to this today, and their guest discussed the "Five Core Ideas of the New Age/Pagan movement". This was done somewhat objectively, although definitely with a conservative christian bias. It certainly was not a completely objective discussion -- but there was no mention of orgies with the devil, sacrificing babies, etc. At worst, Pagans were portrayed as mislead and confused about the "real truth (TM)". The latter part of the program degenerates into somewhat disconnected ranting by Ingrid, but this is usually the case. I don't know if this will do you any good, but this is definitely a discussion of New Age beliefs from a "Christian Perspective". As Rhea pointed out earlier, a source like this may be see as more credible, and maybe it would help to dispel some of the nuttier myths about the movement. |
