Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.
Yes, happy Samhain, Feralia, and Nos Galen-gaeof. Good to see all of the wonderful people of the world keeping alive the traditions of the celtic Druids. Paganism FTW!
Indeed, I'm beating you too that on Christmas btw ;P
Ah yes, the wonderful tradition of celebrating the winter solstice, or the summer solstice for those of you in the southern hemisphere.
Good thing we have these Christians keeping alive the traditions of the Asheria cult and numerous other pagan faiths which predate Christianity. (Oh, and Jesus, if he was ever even real, would have been born in March if you actually go by what the Bible says. So much for the "Christ" in "Christmas)
Is it just me or were the Christians very intolerant of everybody else?
What do you mean "were"? I think the appropriate term is "are"... but then that's the case with every religion which purports to have the exclusive story on salvation, eternal life, forgiveness, and communique with the divine.
For once, just once, I wish mr walker would just say: yay presents.
Actually the presents are based on a Roman pagan tradition of essentially bribing the Emperor, during the Saturnalia, in order to gain forgiveness of their crimes. This eventually became a popular custom among the populace. Again, a pagan tradition with it's roots in bribery and corruption, not Christianity. (although they love to claim it as their idea)
Ah Halloween the holiday that gets me candy till next Halloween. Happy Halloween AG.
Eh, I really don't eat candy, but my kids love it so I take them out trick-or-treating.
Buddhism? Hinduism?
Buddhism doesn't claim exclusivity, and it is also an atheistic religion, as the Buddha is not a deity. And if Hinduism seems more like a philosophy then you should read more about it.
