Those who wish to remain ignorant should be allowed to do so...
We have ignore buttons to keep us safe. wink

Witchwolf, are you refering to Moses leading the Hebrew people out of Egypt as the Beginning of the monotheist movement, or farther back?
A case could be made for some cross polination between Judaism and Zoroastrianism... but it's shakey at best, as Judaism was a closed (chosen people, as in, Shem only looked after that particular tribe) religion, and Zarathustra's followers are prohibitted from proseltizing... and conversion is still a subject of debate.

I think it is fair to say that Zoroastrianism had far more influence upon Christendom- and while the Torah remained fairly clean, the cultural influences may have leached into some of the oral fables of the Jewish People.

But as you said- it is very much up for debate.

Pardon, Phoenix, but I felt the urge to respond here to your fluffy. If you happen to think anything I say might be useful, take it and run with it. Warning: I might say a few naughty words.

Go right ahead. If its ok, can I use some of your points in my reply to her?

(Joking) CN U REED? xp
'Course you can.

I swear, you edited that after I asked xp
Alright, I'll see how it goes.

I'd let you have that if you hadn't quoted that line in your reply to me. whee

Tea, my opinions on the Zoroastrian connection to Christianity are a rather inflammatory topic. wink

s**t I need to log onto this mule more often. That one guild, the one where Tea seems to be waging a one woman war, it's goddamn scary. I'm so glad I developed the ability to think for myself before I got into all this daft s**t. xd

Drat. The guild changed itself over to Private - I had been having a fun time coming in and sweeping up some of the crew's poor responses to Tea.

Hey there!

I can't get into the Guild Forum for your Timeless Echoes of Karma Guild.

Considering I'm still capable of accessing my other guilds, I thought I'd check. According to the list, I'm still a member, but I thought I'd ask.

What's up with this?

It has to do with the issues going on in the guild right now. I'm just a little pissed off that my MOD QUIT because people wouldn't get off her a**!
So I am deleting everything so we can all start over. And if I see one more person bash someone without good reason, they are being banned. There should be no bashing in the first place. So just wait a few more hours. Thank you.

Blessed be! heart

.. Yeah.. that.. makes sense?

Aww, heteria quit because Tea, myself, and others wouldn't let her get away with spouting BS and insults in response to truth? So sad. So sad indeed. I shall shed a tear.  

[Fiddlers Green]

Because we should expect someone with a Slytherin logo in their sig to be filled with luf and fluff. xd

I didn't even know heteria was the mod. xd The only moderating stuff I saw was by GeoffTate(with numbers!), I think. Of course, I can't check that now..

Still, deleting everything seems a bit excessive..

Well, that would have been my guess, since she was crew and was the one that was involved in most of the exchanges involving calling Tea a flamer, Gerald Gardner a "sellout sweetie", and claiming authority under a Tradition she later admitted to not really studying all that long.

As stated above, the guild owner seems to think that the phrase "Facts disagree with and disprove you" is flaming. Overreaction on his part fails to surprise me.

Slytherins have a special brand of luf for fluff blaugh

Still, maybe best not to bank too much on the Slytherin logo. Exceptions make the rule and all that rot.

Oh well, I guess that'll save me the trouble of having to 'quit guild'. wink

Of course... but stereotypes do exist for a reason. wink

Oh ho ho...that would be rich if we could actually get wiki cleaned up. Therer are some other pagan guilds here though. I suppose we could check there.

EDIT: Quite a shame that he redid everything. I had just worked for like 15 minutes on why giving information wasn't flaming. sad

You should be flattered Tea. His rules basically revolve around keeping anybody with a conflicting opinion away from teh opressionable, super emo pagans.
