I could actually roll on the floor, laughing at this. I almost shot gatorade out my nose. Pretty much, this here would be why I dislike about half the Heathens that I've met IRL (there's a lot of Heathens in the military...plus we had a Heathen roomie for quite some time). A good number of them make fundamentalist Christians look open-minded about their faith. Its almost like they took the hated religion they grew up in and just shoved a different set of gods in there.Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of HistoryPagan Devotionals, because the wind and the rain is our Bible

People are stupid and need to get a new productive hobby.

Thal is right on from what I'm learning. Admittedly my acquaintance with other Heathens is over the 'net, but an unfortunate number are dickheads of the first magnitude, and full of themselves. That other Heathens don't believe as they do turns them nasty. The soft polytheism and ancestor worship is a bone of contention. It seems that Americans are super hard polytheists who, ironically, turn more to their ancestors, claiming the gods don't care about us. Icelanders seem to be a lot more liberal.śivāya vishnu rūpaya śivaḥ rūpaya vishnave
