(Sorry guys...couldn't resist! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] I know a few people like this, too! *That's* the scary part!)
*If you smoke Salem cigarettes for the histroical significance.... *If you worship the gods of cheap beer and NASCAR... *If you've ever done a candle spell for your local high school football team... *If you've ever harvested ritual herbs with a weedwacker... *If your God statue looks a little to much like Elvis... *If your Goddess picture says "Miss September" at the bottom... *If your Wand of Power is a cattle prod... *If your altar cloth is a Confederate flag... *If your altar cloth says Holiday Inn or Howard Johnson's... *If your altar has a spit cup... *If your annointing oil smells like "old Spice"... *If your circle dance includes the words "dosey-do"... *If your coven's secret names for the god and goddess are "Cooter" and "Sweet Cheeks"... *If your familiar can point quail... *If chewing tobacco is considered a sacred herb... *If you have ever refilled your chalice from a keg... *If your favorite Great Rite partner is your first, second and third cousin... *If your third degree mystery is, "wrasslin's fake"...

Im guessing these are tongue in cheek stereotypes but
What is a Pagan? Something to do with religion I assume which explains why I never heard of it, Seem to recall it vaguely from history lessons or some crap that was pointless and boring and I paid no attention [img]smile.gif[/img]

Tarox ::friendly glower::, remember the thread a couple weeks back on religion, one on paganism and assorted others? I know you were there.....
A pagan is one who does not belong to any of the mainstream religions (think Christianity, Judaism, or Buddhism) and is typified by a reverence for nature among other aspects. Ex. druidism, stregheria, asatru, wicca, heathenism, many many others..... *PLEASE* refrain from using possibly inflamatory language here as this is meant to be funny and to make such assertions (religion being equated with "history lessons or some crap that was pointless and boring...") may be viewed as hurtful by some.

For your information,
The earliest (and most correct) use of the word "pagan" was to denote a person who was not a Christian. ("Pagan" comes from the Latin "Paginus" which means "civilian," i.e., NOT a "soldier of Christ.") The most common (correct) use of the word, today, is as a noun, to denote a person who is not a Christian, Jew or Moslem; or as an adjective that describes something that is devoid of Christian, Jewish, or Moslem significance. Thus, walking your dog could strictly be construed to be a "pagan" activity, even if done by a Christian, since it is devoid of religious significance. However, the term is often reserved to denote activities that overtly deny the existence of a God, as He is generally accepted by the Christians, Jews and Moslems. (By the way, all three groups believe in the same God; they just have differences of opinion in what He did and why, after, say, about 400 B.C.) In recent years some have (incorrectly) come to see it as synonymous with witchcraft. So, you can freely bash the term "pagan" without fear of bashing a religion; because pagan simply means "not Christian, Jewish or Moslem," and implies no specific religion outside of these three. Oh, Garnet, I almost busted a rib over some of your material. |
