Of course the Bible might not be 100% accurate in regard to history.

Balls.  Elijah taught those UFOs a thing or two about coming around here slumming.  He was fucking hardcore, and killed the alien with one punch.  No whimpering about a probing from HIM, let me tell you.

Did he "Welcome to Earth" as he did so? That's what it says in the New English Standard Edition.

Well, yes, but that was just a one-liner.  Like Bruce Willis does.

And then he sent that grey, goggle-eyed bastard home in a bag.  You have to remember that this was a time when the next village over was considered to be Godless, subhuman foreign trash...Imagine how they'd feel about an actual alien.  It occurs to me that the Native Americans would have been better off with a horrible crankey old Hebrew prophet or three.

The golden tablets said they did

Pretty much yeah. Odd tradition, less focused on magick as effective than magick as a fancy way of saying meditation to achieve some kind of enlightenment, but they havent told me much yet. All thats supposed to come in the next few months.

Ok, gotta ask, how old are you?

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Laugh it up, furball.  You don't live right next to millions of the bastards.  You can't swing a dead cat in Tucson without knocking a Mormon down.

TGRR,
Keeps a supply of dead cats for this very reason.

There's nothing to be done about it.  This is the 21st century, and one of the tribulations our foul species has earned from an angry God is a plague of patchouli-stinking Pagans with but a nodding aquaintance to personal hygiene, waddling around all "skyclad" and making us all turn to substandard drugs.

But I thought you were a rain god... can't you wash away the smell?

Ratatosk, I'm using the labels becuase though it isnt exact, its generally simpler to say "eclectic wicca" than go into explaining my full belief system if it comes up in conversation, although how close i am to 'correct' Wicca varies depending on how life is going for me, only the general concepts you mentioned that I had said never change.

Actually, he's right.  He said "eclectic wicca," and we all immediately knew he was full of shit, without him having to go into any more detail.

The sad part is that I'm in the top 2% according to SAT and state standardized testing.

You know who wrote those tests?  The same sheeple who, according to you, all believe that Christmas is when the cosmic zombie jew was born purely because of of mistranslations and circular reasoning.  Which makes you, what, exactly?  Almost as smart as your Christian overlords want you to be?



And going way back, what do you mean when you say that you use egoism and maliciousness re: Kantian deontology?  I freely admit to not knowing all that much about Kant, but I'm pretty sure that assuming that egoism is universally moral leads to some severe contradictions in his framework.

PS: go study Christianity before you talk shit about it.  You'll find that even the dumb versions have more internal consistency and logic than "eclectic Wicca."

They get enough patchouli oil on 'em, the rain just beads up and runs off...

I can, but I won't.  I warned you mahdjgickgque guys this would happen, but you wouldn't listen.  Now you see the wrath of an offended universe.  It's the logical end result of treating this shit as anything other than an object of scorn.

A merciful God would blind you in the bargain...But mercy isn't in my ideom, so you'll have to walk around LOOKING at this shit.  In fact, if I could be arsed, I'd pin all of your eyes open.

Looks like its time for me to whip out mah sigils then.

Now where is that KY...

1.  Nobody cares, and

2.  We need new tests.
