Well my family has practiced Celtic paganism for the past five generations

2020-04-27 19:07:23 UTC  

So that’s my favourite

2020-04-27 19:07:25 UTC  

Oh cool, druidic stuff it is

2020-04-27 19:07:41 UTC  

Well we practiced it longer than that but we weren’t allowed to talk about it

2020-04-27 19:07:45 UTC  

Bc of Christianity

2020-04-27 19:07:52 UTC  

I’m a little bitter

2020-04-27 19:08:04 UTC  

athiests are religious.

2020-04-27 19:08:22 UTC  

Ok

2020-04-27 19:08:27 UTC  

In a way yeah, religion is a very vague term

2020-04-27 19:08:40 UTC  

Athiesm can be extremely dogmatic

2020-04-27 19:08:48 UTC  

Especially the hardliners

2020-04-27 19:09:03 UTC  

Gnostic Athiests are worse than gnostic theists

2020-04-27 19:09:18 UTC  

Yeah kinda

2020-04-27 19:09:34 UTC  

Tbh I think if you’re gonna be religious at least be a fun religion

2020-04-27 19:10:00 UTC  

Idk some people want a religion that aligns with what they believe

2020-04-27 19:10:13 UTC  

And not a lot people really believe in pagan traditions

2020-04-27 19:10:27 UTC  

Well not all pagan traditions are like

2020-04-27 19:10:34 UTC  

Sacrificial or violent

2020-04-27 19:10:48 UTC  

Mostly it’s just getting drunk and dancing around bonfires

2020-04-27 19:11:18 UTC  

Or rituals surrounding early science and metaphysics

2020-04-27 19:11:25 UTC  

like building weirdly accurate calenders

2020-04-27 19:11:42 UTC  

And dragging huge ass rocks halfway across britain for some random ass reason

2020-04-27 19:12:09 UTC  

Most stones in Ireland came all the way from Africa

2020-04-27 19:12:17 UTC  

The ones used in the formations I mean

2020-04-27 19:13:12 UTC  

Some of them yeah, its weird what geological tracing reveals about these monuments because it never answers any questions, it just reveals crazy weird shit

2020-04-27 19:13:28 UTC  

Yeah lol

2020-04-27 19:13:29 UTC  

I mean the way I'd describe myself is agnostic with pseudochristian morals

2020-04-27 19:13:43 UTC  

I mean that’s why I think paganism is more interesting than Christianity

2020-04-27 19:13:52 UTC  

There’s more of an air of mystery to it

2020-04-27 19:14:09 UTC  

To me personally it feels closer than Christianity if that makes sense

2020-04-27 19:14:26 UTC  

Yeah I get that

2020-04-27 19:15:07 UTC  

But Christian monuments are so fucking complex, like it boggles my mind that so much artistry and craftsmanship went into making a cathedral with totally perfect acoustics for singing a specific kind of song with a lot people

2020-04-27 19:15:26 UTC  

At least when they're not being stolen by Islam that is...

2020-04-27 19:17:05 UTC  

Well pagan monuments are complex in their own ways

2020-04-27 19:17:25 UTC  

For sure

2020-04-27 19:17:37 UTC  

Like the ancient tombs in Ireland have short opening that line up perfectly with the setting sun on the winter solstice

2020-04-27 19:17:44 UTC  

ISIS was good in theory

2020-04-27 19:17:50 UTC  

Ok

2020-04-27 19:17:51 UTC  

That's a hot take

2020-04-27 19:18:05 UTC  

Yeah fr

2020-04-27 19:18:12 UTC  

Well
