Pagans Are Idiots

[The Good Reverend Roger]

While it's true that I flunked out of jackass academy, I think he meant you.

Like I said, Jer...why must you encourage the pinealists?

17 more to go.

I'm not bothering with the 50 post rule for this idiot.  He's a fucking PARODY of the AKK effect.  I am not required, nor am I inclined, to put up with it.  I'm shitting on him NOW, to beat the fucking rush.

Fair enough. Do it to it.

I swear to God, every time one of these jackasses shows up trying to "wow" us all, it's like someone turns on a Britney Spears video that never fucking ends.

Even the giant sequoia was once a tiny acorn.

Please be an original troll. I posted that in Quotes of the Moment in late March.

Haven't you heard? Everything's been done already.

Will somebody join me in a new trend i'm trying to start?

I want to start a new goth movement, but REAL goths. Basically we wear bear fur, get drunk, and raid villages (especially Roman villages). As opposed to todays fake goths we will not wear makeup, unless dirt and rage are considered makeup. Our jewelry will be pieces of our enemy, our tattoos will be battle scars.

Any takers? If not, next stop: Norse Worship.

Is it too late to sign up?

I'm picturing how funny that would be for a bunch of Neo-Gothic Tribesmen would be walking into a Goth club.

I just got into an argument with a friend of mine about paganism. I was trying to tell her that the term "pagan" is a blanket term that reffers to many different things, and she got ALL bent out of shape and pulled out some witchcraft book for definitions  while I used a dictionary. I was also trying to tell her that Wiccan is waaaaaay newer than she thought. All wiccans beleive that they're part of some ancient sect or something, when the fact of the matter is that it's only a few years older than our very own Dis-cord-i-a. This bent her even more out of shape, I couldn't even recognize her anymore 

Earth worship. What a silly thing. Go dig a hole and live in it if you like dirt so much...

Why, when you can have a perfectly good shit-hut and astral-fi?

I didn't want to laugh at this, as I hate you. But I'll admit, I lol'd...

A few years older as in a few decades older.  But compared to something like Christianity, yeah, still very new religions.  And Eris as a worshipped Goddess is way older, if Wiccans would be a bit more concrete about their godforms they might be able to more effectively claim an ancient lineage.

It seems to be a mishmash of ancient Celtic believes. The problem being a lot of what we know comes from secondary sources (later Christian sources, or Roman classical sources) and a lot of time the archeology contradicts that.
I'm not saying religions need to be rigid in their belief systems and not be able to evolve as new evidence comes in, but most wiccans that I know have a system of rituals that are based on a concept of a religion rather then linage to it. So it can't trace it's linage anywhere but it's founding.
Nothing I have a problem with. I do know some wiccans who admit that.

[Cain]

Well as far as I can see, Wicca as an organised body of rituals and beliefs didnt exist until 1951, and that's only Gardnerian Wicca.  Other popular traditions followed later.  Discordianism started in 1958-9.  So not even decades.
