Samhain is coming, ladies start your broomsticks

as kerry packer said – ive been to the other side and nothings there.

Just because there was nothing there for the goanna doesn’t mean there’s nothing there for anyone else.

all faiths should be mocked. essentially people believe in something that despite millennia of waiting for proof – never gets delivered.

man controls religion. to believe anything else is to be delusional.

most people are gullible and easily manipulated. they know more about the love lives of minor starlets than any serious philosophical matters.

LG following your quote … if you follow Wicca you are Wiccan (not necessarily a witch). I do stand by my earlier remark that being Wiccan does not make you a witch although some Wiccans do classify themselves as witches… but not all.

Mr Shab .. I know you are only taking the piss but by your classification MOST religions are easy to take the piss out of.

Associations with:
Stupid clothing – Priest’s Cassocks, Nun’s Habits, Shinto Kimono robe thingy, Buddhist Monks robes etc.

Beads – Rosary beads (Christian); Japa mala (Hindu); Lestovka (Russian orthodox)

Excessive body hair – Any traditionalist Christian, Muslim and Jewish faith

Odd rituals – Circumcision, the use of incence to concecrate and cleanse items, many of the initiation rituials into any faith (this list is just endless)

Fiona Horne (hmmm… ok fair enough .. ya got me on that one but I will say that most religions have people who are apparently in it for the money. Shall we start with the Rev Jimmy and Tammy Baker? Rev Jimmy Swaggert and so on)

I’m not mocking anyone or any faith here. I’m just saying that many things look odd to those who don’t understand the reasons why they are done that’s all.

Umm, believe it or not I am actually a member of a quasi-religious beer worshiping sect, but that’s the last I’ll mention of it.

Look! John Stanhope just walked past your office!

It’s ok Shab. I’m thick skinned. Although the Fiona Horne reference was hitting a bit low.

Mael: Your religion intrigues me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Sorry LG – but it’s just too easy to take the piss out of your religion for associations with dubious hygiene/stupid clothing/beads/excessive body hair/odd rituals/Fiona Horne.

Feel free to take the piss out of atheists.

As a religious institution, can beerology claim tax-free status?

Beerology affords itself to steryiotyping, which is welcome. Beerology has nothing to hide.

Rituals begin in earnest in 1 hour, Friday being a sacred day in Beerology, called ‘workhasendeth’…

Hey!!!! I bathe on a regular basis!!!! And as if I’d wear linen – that needs ironing! I’m Wiccan, but I’m no domestic Godess!!!!!

But seriously, I won’t stereotype anyone elses religion if they dont’ stereotype mine. My partner is also big on beerology, and I don’t ever knock that! Especially since I am so much more likely to get my own way when he is performing the rituals!!!!

I do know one wiccan – who describes himself as a polyamourist who occasinoally likes to go skyclad. In other words, he likes to root around and do a nudey run.

The comparison to Beerology is pretty apt, I reckon.
