why do I do it

[Doktor Howl]

Crowley was a salesman.  A DAMNED GOOD salesman.

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

He was definitely a dedicated one. Full scale theatrics for every sales pitch.

Yes. Kind of a pervy PT Barnum and EVEN DEAD, HE'S STILL TROLLING PAGANS.

I love, love, love the discussions with people like a certain band of Salem witches who tell me they can trace their religion back to "the original practices" or "their very very beginning" and include Crowley and Gardner in the direct lineage.

Or Egyptian reconstructionists who go on about how Crowley was VERY EGYPT because of the whole "Eye of Horus" thing.

Crowley is comedy gold that never quits.

I knew a Strega who was claiming . . . I think 13th generation. She had two daughters over the course of time I knew her. Her first kid had 15 names, in keeping with their religious traditions and the second had 17, because she went a little nuts. A few of those names to honor people from the internet chat we hung out in. So like . . . I think DruidSamuraiBanana and PurpleCrayon are in there somewhere.

And yet she sneered at people using baby name books.

Wow.  Those are two kids that are going to know how to fight.

I laugh like a loon when these assholes talk about how many generations their family has indulged in bullshit.  First, "Who cares?  What have YOU done?", and second, we all know that America and Britain have been crawling with Pagans since forever.

Yeah. And then it's always "I can't tell you anything about it or explain any of our beliefs or show you proof of my hereditary cosmic powers because it's a SECRET and you're not SPECIAL like me so you wouldn't UNDERSTAND ANYWAY."

Thank you for blatantly declaring you're crazy in such clear neon signs. I'll be leaving you alone to your secret one-man circle jerk now.

[Junkenstein]

Yeah. And then it's always "I can't tell you anything about it or explain any of our beliefs or show you proof of my hereditary cosmic powers because it's a SECRET and you're not SPECIAL like me so you wouldn't UNDERSTAND ANYWAY."

I'd amend that to "Just grow the fuck up."

Wish-fulfillment is fine in a 5 year old.  No so good in a middle-aged person who needs an excuse for being a fucking failure...Failure defined as "not even trying".  Life gets hard on folks, there's no denying it.  People work their asses off and things don't ever seem to get better.  Some people keep working.  Others retreat into fantasyland and make up weird shit.

As I've stated before, the whole thing can be boiled down to "I have given up trying to control my environment".

[Cain]

Yeah. And then it's always "I can't tell you anything about it or explain any of our beliefs or show you proof of my hereditary cosmic powers because it's a SECRET and you're not SPECIAL like me so you wouldn't UNDERSTAND ANYWAY."

Unfortunately, one of the signs of crazy is compiling lists regarding your pet peeves of the moment, and then mass distributing them to the public.  It's like a manifesto, for lazy people.

I'm pretty sure they count stuff like burying statues of St. Joseph to allegedly make a house sell, i.e., folk Catholicism.

He had the shtick that sticks...He was a right bastard and loved to fuck with people's heads. I approve.
