My beliefs include all of that but I also fervently believe in caning
for all men in "wife-beater" T-shirts and all women over 25 in tube tops
and low-rider jeans. People who are cruel to animals are to be shunned
and then later horsewhipped. "Stupid people" as defined by the "Book of
Weasels" are cast out into the Valley of Kill-file. There is a pit of
righteous fire reserved for those who casually send other people's sons
and daughters to war after avoiding serving under fire themselves.
People who live in houses of more than 4000 square feet on parcels of
land of less than 1 acre are definitely sinners. My church really frowns
on WWF wrestling except as an object of mockery. Tea-totaling without a
medical excuse is suspect and failure to vote in every election is
grounds for penance. Members of my church really really don't like the
word "spelunking" and to say it in public is a cardinal sin. Hearing it
in public is objectionable and so I expect everyone here to refrain from
using it. I'm not too fond of the word "defunct" either. Or "grout".

we all just get along?)(And by "get along" I mean play by my
rules.)(Now, doesn't anyone want to talk about "The Source"?)(What's
with the ratty fur-collared coat Duncan is wearing in the photos I've
seen?)(Kind of looks like he's in drag<eg>)

I'll play! <g>
As a pagan, I find it offensive when anyone refers to their
supposedly non-gendered deity using the masculine personal pronoun
(He, Him). Therefore I must insist that we always use the female
personal pronoun (She, Her).

I'm a Pagan too - but I have both a god and a goddess, each with
their own responsibility.
However my goddess considers "denying one's sexuality and sensuality"
to be a sin ;-)

Conversation at work.
One of my colleagues - Who is that guy. (pointing at someone new)
Colleague 2 - That's Duncan McLeod.
Chorus and it wasn't me - of the Clan McLeod.
My contribution was - where is his sword....the conversation degenerated
from there.
