    Re: When people tell you about your own religion.

    "Wiccans don't go caroling."
    ... I'm not Wiccan, for starters, and also, the person who told me this knew nothing of paganism in any of its forms. I can go caroling if I damn well please.

      I've heard this one a few times, and always wondered if it was just me who had it wrong. After all, I'm not Christian and didn't receive much religious education at school, so I'm no expert. Still, I'm glad to know I'm not alone in thinking a religion based around Christ would be Christian! Clues in the name, right?

        "Pagans all worship Satan" - said the person who has no idea about paganism at all.

          I've also gotten into arguments with theologians (is that the right term? someone who studies theology?) about religion before, where they assumed I wouldn't know anything because I'm not Christian

          I'm serious, this one woman seemed to think that pagans know nothing about Jesus. ..... I know about Jesus, ok? I know who he was. He was a real guy, it's not like I don't believe he existed or anything, it's just that I chose a different path to follow. (besides, I was raised Christian. I think I may have heard of Jesus at least once during that, lol.)

          and anyway, "theology" doesn't just mean Christianity.

              I've also heard "so why do you hate God?"

                I've actually been asked "so are you antichrist?" and well... I thought stupid will be stupid... so I had a bit of fun and said yes.

                    But that really is the best part of the story He thought he was being cool asking. so I said yes and kept a straight face... He stared for a bit. Then walked away. He never mentioned it again, I think he eventually figured out how stupid a question it was.

                      So. You are like one of those Pagans, right?

                      No! How dare you! I'm a Satanist! How dare you think I'd be thaaaaaaaat.


                      *yeah. That's what it sounds like when Pagans who are not Satanists get accused of that.

                        I wouldn't care if someone asked me if I was a Satanist (I considered that path for a little while), but most Americans aren't educated enough to know that Satanist does not equal devil worshipers.

                          But Catholics aren't Christians. Their story ends when Christ was born. I've been to Midnight Mass & heard the guy in the funny hat singing. Plus, they worship a Goddess & a bunch of statues.

                          You'd almost think they were Vodouisants, but they don't draw on the floor with chalk or sacrifice enough chickens.

                              Why not just go full-bore Neitzsche?

                              Even in The Anti-Christ, his rabid, no holds bared, and very vicious attack on Christianity, he say he has no problem with Christians - but there has only been one, and he died on a cross.
                              Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
