| “It is faith that got me through this and just praying all the time and just relying on God and knowing that He is on our side and we’ll get through this,” Bristol Palin. If God exists, I hope to him he’s got bigger things on his plate than Dancing With The Stars or we’re all fucked. ANGEL: Lord, those people in Africa are starving again. GOD: Dude, not now. Bristol’s feeling weight-conscious because she ate at McDonald’s again after rehearsal. ANGEL: Forgive me, Father. They probably should’ve been born in America anyway. GOD: Damn right, son. High five! *unknown blogger* | |

it's the Holidays, for Jesus' sake
Actually, the holidays for Jesus' sake are near the end of the month of December. And then again in a sort of wandering time line in the spring. I think these ones are for the sake of ripe and completed harvests. And the knowledge that superior technology would soon allow the settlers to take over the indigenous peoples traditionally held lands. I like my name sakes harvest festivals better. To honour Dionysus, who everybody got good and liquoured on wine and had massive orgies. He is the Greek party God. Dionysus is the god of wine and drunken revelry in Greek mythology. He is a patron of the theater and an agricultural/fertility god. He was sometimes at the heart of frenzied madness that led to savage murder. Writers often contrast Dionysus with his half-brother Apollo. Where Apollo personifies the cerebral aspects of mankind, Dionysus represents the libido and gratification. | |

Mythology is fun and interesting and, surprisingly, tied into religion. | |

When you read books on Paganism, Mythology etc, and then you read parables from the Bible, you start to see the similarities. It is not that the old religions took from the new, but the other way around. The reasoning behind that is; the newly minted christians needed to incorporate as many people into their new religion, and the only way was to assimilate as much of the old pagan religion as possible..this also included a lot of Druid ceremony. Thus making it viable for many to come into their fold and accept their concept. | |

| it just gets better and better... "...It's the religious god fearing types I worry about the most with their holier than thou beliefs, that mad look in their eyes, that spawn the hypocritical drunks, the kiddy fiddling Priests, with their rants and their sermons on who is right and who is wrong, it's never themselves for they have God on their side, indoctrinated, get them when they are young, the message inserted as a small child, to later in life, free the beast inside..." | |
