Worst Things You Can Ever Say As A Pagan

I never knew that that word was an ethnic slur.

Most people don't.

Further reading I recommend starting out with Pariah Syndrome by Ian Hancock.

All of these are paraphrased, but based on real events:

"I'm the reincarnation of (insert Final Fantasy character here). It's totally possible because there are infinite universes, so the events of the game could have happened just as we saw them in an alternate universe. What? You don't believe me? You're just intolerant and closed-minded!"

"I'm soulbonded to (insert fictional character here). I hear his voice in my head and have sex with him on the astral plane. I've even carried his astral-babies. What? You don't believe me? You're just intolerant and closed-minded!"

"Soulbonding is my religion! Putting filmy scarves over the office lamps is part of my religious practice, so telling me to take them off because they're a fire hazard is an infringement of my freedom of religion!"

I'm shocked... Actually, truly shocked. Was I so blind that I didn't see what was going on, or did she hide it enough that I couldn't see? Were we ever really close friends once she left for the JC? I'm not sure anymore...

LMAO @ astral sex and astral babies

I totally know what you're referring to. Like, the specific events.

The otakukin stance is that those events were blown way out of proportion.

It's possible, but I have my doubts. I know a schizophrenic Mr. Dark who is quite the master at playing sane and pretending everything's cool when put on the spot.

Plus, if you actually read their journals... *shakes head*

Actual quote from a "Na'vikin" - IE, person who thinks they're a Na'vi from Avatar:

Quote:

If you were hexapodal I might take you more seriously, as proper fauna is hexapodal.

Anyway, I'm going to be the bigger person here and not ban you and forgive you, as Na'vi are a forgiving people.

Source.

What's doubly sad is that quite a few comments consist of a Na'vikin and a wolf/manta ray-thingkin arguing over who is actually the most plausible.

They DO know that Na'vi are a fictional race created for the purpose of entertainment, right? And wolf/manta ray? That's two completely different species. No possible way they could have anything to do with each other.

I think they believe that the creator of the movie was, for lack of a better term, 'divinely inspired,' or that because there are infinite alternate universes then the events of the movie could have happened in one of them just as it was depicted in the movie.

...And yes, the premise does beg the question of whether there are alternate universes like ours or not.

I wasn't aware that Lupercalia and Imbolc were so interchangeable or similar that you could stick a / in between them.

i think it may have been meant as an "and/or". kind of like the schools when they send out notices, they'll say your son/daughter....

meh, i don't know...

I just find the two so different that it would have made much more sense to use a comma. I think the slash is a byproduct of some eclectic pagans' tendencies to lump a bunch of festival names together for one date when the festivals are completely different in origin.

but you wouldn't put a comma in between just the two - it wouldn't make sense, you'd have to use the word 'and'... maybe the person is just lazy, i know i am which is why i almost never use capital letters ninja

Although then the person would only have the memories up until the split occurred. Unless, of course, you mean that Rose Tyler died outside of her timeline, far enough back that she didn't exist yet, but close enough to be reincarnated as the LJ girl. However, it brings up the problem that Rose Tyler no longer travels through time, and she's still very much alive at this point in time, so there's no way for her to go back and die before she was born.

Unless, of course, all time has already passed and we are only perceiving it as currently progressing. The assumptions of a single discrete narrative and the assumption of non-concordant narratives is very comforting, but still just an assumption. It may have some basis that our current perceptual interpretations of the narrative support, however, it is not enough for me to discount as impossible, or even improbable.
This all also assumes far less predestination than in causally likely.
