A thought.

If the gods have "more important things to do" than to "grant wishes", why bother praying to them at all? No point in requesting their assistance when sick or poor, in good times or bad. Actually they wouldn't sound much like gods, would they? It'd be like writing family members, never hearing a response back and having no contact from them whatsoever. Why bother? I'd write them off. What's a deity to such people, anyhow?

I am beginning to think there are some people who really ought to have stuck to either atheism or Evangelical Christianity.

Dreamwidth.

I am now on Dreamwidth, and will be crossposting from there. Not sure if it can support more than one Livejournal acct with paid status. Need to look into that.

Predictably, I'm at kyrene.dreamwidth.org. :)

A word. Or twelve. Or whatever.

Going to say this bluntly and as succinctly as possible. People, fucking STOP with the Wicca bashing. They do NOT "use" their gods, they are NOT "hubristic", and I happen to have more than a few as my dearest friends. And you know what? A lot of Wiccans happen to be much better and nicer people than *you* and I'd rather hang with Wiccans than... a bunch of shit-for-brains, asshole-y, batshit "recons".

And lastly? Fuck you.

And another thing.

On the Internet they first came for the Christians,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Christian.

Then they came for the Wiccans,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Wiccan.

Then they came for the neo-pagans,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a neo-pagan.

Then they came for those who practice magick,
and I didn't speak up because I practiced theurgy.

Then they came for me —
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
