Feral, this should get interesting. Thank you.
First off, i have no problem with people who follow the religion of their
heart, whatever it is. But I'll tell you what, of all religions easily the
two most pushy, stuck up, stuck on themselves, idiot, closeminded,
overblown, and most pretentious are xianity in all it's glorious "fundie"
forms, and "paganism". Yes, I've known people who follow wicca or some
other "pagan" religion and they weren't this way (including a couple of
close friends). I am speaking GENERALLY, as in my experiences it is a
GENERAL rule, with exceptions, of course.
I think at the heart of my problem with it is that for some reason unknown
to me (maybe I put out a smell they recognize or some shit) they seem to
think I'm "one of them". I have total strangers just start talking to me
about some wickywonka whatever meeting they had last night, or some holiday
I dont' care about or know about, like I care or want to care or want to
know about their religious life. I had some 40 year old lady buying her
daughter a pentacle necklace, and she went on and on about how it has to be
descreet because she's in middle school and "YOU know how they can be, they
don't understand US they're so IGNORANT and BIGOTED those xians" and blah
blah fucking BLAH. I had another girl do the same thing, "I like how you
guys cary pentacles because nobody else DARES to because nobody understands
US (ie: her and uh...me..sure)". It was all I could do to just sell them
their crap and walk away. Which I do most of the time, just smile and nod
and walk away. I don't want to even get that person STARTED cuz I'll never
hear the end of it.
I've had pagans and wiccans shove their beliefs down my throat, got the
same reaction out of them that i do hardcore xians when I get so fed up or
pissed off that I tell them I'm a satanist, and once when I offered a
painting for a raffle prize at Sweet Spirit Candles in Renton to help
support the food bank (which my husband and I were regular customers at and
had often held food drives at work to fill their homeless cupboard by the
door) this woman, this ultimate peace and love judge not lest tho be judged
wiccan woman looks at me and says "Oh...well, that would be nice, but it's
not a painting of bodies haning from trees, right?" I could have ripped
that pentacle from her fat fucking neck and shoved it up her tyedied
asshole right there.
I know there are gong to be be people now thinking "Not all of us are like
that" and well, hating my guts and thinking of firing back and getting on
my nerves. Go ahead, but before you make a jackass of yourself, see the
top of this post and think "am I going to prove myself the excpetion or the
rule?" Even if you are the exception, i won't be mad if you yell. I'm
kind of hoping you will, because it'll lend a little life back into things
once again. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |
