An interesting--and disturbing--revelation

[valarltd]

So, last night was realm class.
We're talking about Deity and the ways of approaching it.

Most of the class is polytheistic animists. We have a Poly elementalist. And me, the nontheistic pantheist.

I blame George Lucas.

I believe there is a higher power, a life energy created by the universe. I believe gods and goddesses are metaphors and focusing devices humans create to access aspects of that energy.

When I talk about Freyja, on one hand yes, I mean the blonde in the feather cloak in a chariot drawn by cats. But what I really am talking about is strength and bravery and love and desire.

It's an interesting thing to learn that after 30 years of "Force schmorce, I got me a wookiee," I really am a Jedi after all...

Try this for a hokey religion.

Scary thing is, once you read the doctrine(s)... It makes about as much sense as pretty much -any- other out there.

Like any religion, they are always looking for new converts.

Yes, I'm familiar with FSM and Mouse-and-Discoballtarianism both.

The only religion I look for converts to is Chocolatarianism, but since most folks already are, they just agree to live their lives by the tenets of the faith:
Chocolate is good.
Enjoy often.
Share chocolate when you can.

Everyone has to walk their own path and saying mine is the only way to approach reality is silly. Mine works for me.
