I agree that anything that teaches the values of all encompassing love of your fellow creatures and friendship is more of what we need in the world. The Harry Potter books show this admirably well.
It also explores the point that sometimes, doing the right thing means breaking the rules. It makes one pause to think that everything Hitler and Stalin did was legal, but what the founding fathers of our own country did, was illegal.
I'm Pagan, and the only thing that bothers me about this show and others like it, is when they talk exclusively to self-christened "Christian DOCUMENTARY makers" who are ONLY RETELLING falsehoods they have used through the ages to persecute us. Falsehoods that allowed their ancestors and themselves to conveniently go around their beliefs to get land or positions of someone they think doesn't have valid beliefs.
I was raised Christian, but their beliefs do not encompass what I believe. I know because I read the entire Bible, Books of Mormon, Doctrine of Covenants and Pearls of Great Price. I read bits of the Torah, the Koran and Buddhist teachings.
My spirituality is NATURE! Nature is a beautiful, fearsome, terrifyingly awesome power.
In nature, we are 100% responsible for our decisions, BOTH THE GOOD AND THE BAD! We have no one to take the fall for us. In Nature if we make a "BAD" decision, we get hurt, die or eaten, but that is not the end of the energy that makes this earthly shell. If left to Nature, the energy that created us composts to Nature, who uses it to rebuild soil, infusing it with nutrients that feeds the plants. These plants feed the small birds and rodents, who feed larger animals. On and on it continues and it is always returned to Nature when any of us die. Feeding thousands of generations to come.
As a Pagan I honor nature with the turning of the seasons. Pagans rituals express the qualities of nature. The light and dark. The shadows and light. You can not have one without the other and both of these qualities are found in each of us.
From Winter Solstice to Summer Solstice we celebrate Nature's Light. This is likened to a child's birth, childhood, coming of age, courtship, marriage and breeding a new generation.
In the Autumn and Winter we celebrate Nature's Dark. This is likened to reaching middle age, growing older to become an honored elder or sage in our community, dying and the decay that returns the energy that forms our Earthly shell to Nature.
Children from Pagan families experience this from the time they are born and in the turning of each year. Pagan parents do not force this on their children and love them even if they as adults choose to walk a Christian, Jewish, Muslim or Buddhist path. Pagan parents still love their children even if their DNA tells them they are Gay, Straight or Bisexual.
As parents it is our duty to raise children, care for them until they can fly out on their own. To do this we must teach them HOW to make good decisions for themselves. NOT TELL THEM WHAT TO BELIEVE!
