A Note from Eric: Recently the Christian Civic League has taken it upon itself to "out" Rita for her religious beliefs. Why, we have no idea, other than to note that she is a politically active progressive.

Rita, of course, would not dignify this silliness with a response, but here is MY initial reaction:

a) I've always considered the religious beliefs of others to be a private matter.

b) In spite of that general premise, Rita has never made a secret of her beliefs; what makes this "news"?

c) I'm confused; is Mr. Hein suggesting that we have "right" and "wrong" religions here in the land of the free?

Sheesh.

Rita Moran Hello! I’m Rita, bookseller, librarian, teacher, musician, home brewer, poet, and whatever else I decide to become.

I have loved books for as long as I can remember, carrying armloads of books home from the library every Saturday, and have been in the book business since 1994. My particular reading interests are mysteries and thrillers, fantasy, pre-history and archeology, and mythology and folklore.

My other interests include singing; doing community service; and exploring nature-based religion. I'm also very active in the Democratic party.

As a political activist, first amendment rights--and particularly religious freedom issues--are a real concern to me. A great link for this is the
Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance.

Hello! I’m Eric, shown here on Katahdin, one of my favorite places. I have loved books for as long as I can remember, and have been in the book business since 1991. My particular reading interests are: mysteries; fantasies; Maine fiction and poetry; mythology. Ken Bruen, Andrea Camilleri, and Robert Wilson are my current favorite authors. My other interests are many, but include writing, hiking, motorcycling, photography, and home brewing. This is a pretty old photo, but since I don't age, I'm in no hurry to put up a new one.
