MODERATORS
I just skimmed this but shouldn't people who are unable/ubwilling to live in the modern world be true to themselves and also not code in some demonic language?
Just skip it and piss off dear catholic
Wait until they learn about daemons
Even the real daemons are just spirits it's the Christians who literally demonized them.
The idiocy goes back more than a millenium.
If Christians are idiots then so are the "pagans", religion is religion. Don't defend one because you hate another.
it's easier to find obvious faults when something is held close for examination. Shoving this one in our faces has given us greater opportunity for close study. Other brands of hokum may include an actual space ship to rocket the most a faithful away or a con man who this one final time miraculously went straight, rituals with one rolled pant-leg, or alien spirits living in volcanoes. But we don't talk about them so much as they keep their weirdness in the shadows.
Aight I recognize most of those, who's the pant leg?
Exactly
No not really, Christianity is full of contradictions that cannot be reconciled and has a hard line book they must follow (filled with said contradictions). Paganism, as a belief structure, was essentially buried so individuals are working of off their own ideas that can be as varied as the practitioners (afaik, I'm not a neo pagan). Christianity isn't bad because you have to believe on something, no matter what the reddit atheist will tell you, it's bad because of what you have to believe.
I'm sure all those sites of human sacrifice and other barbarity don't really exist and were really those evil Christians. Neopagans are aping religions that were rarely peaceful, I mean how many war gods did the Norse peoples alone have?
So, you a reddit atheist or an idiot?
Agnostic more or less, I just despise unfair double standards
I had a crazy Catholic prepper neighbor way back in '99 (she was the hipster of preppers, one of the things she railed about was all the people prepping just for y2k when she had already been doing it for years, but that's another story) and one of her things was how evil bill gates was- so I told her Linux was evil-er because of the daemons. Gave her a lot to think about.
Does that command refer to the His Dark Materials thing? I thought regular demons were spelt without the a, but maybe it's an old spelling.
