I'd tithe to that.

Other gods and I have an understanding: don't fuck with each other, and we probably won't have to kill each other. Anyone who hasn't followed this social protocol is dead.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I am highly spiritual. You know, even after the 6~ months I've had that up as my religious views... I still don't think anyone gets it. I'm starting to get a little disturbed by it. Some have asked... and yet they don't seem to have understood the answer...s. All about that human spirit here, Friendship is Magic Friendship is also Witchcraft.

I agree, I would probably be Buddhist as well. Seems to be a much more open, encouraging religion... Things have always been and they always will be.... respect yourself and all others. Rather than I MADE THE EVERYTHING I AM THE MASTER, LISTEN TO ME OR BURN IN HELLL ARRRRHHH (Christianity)

Maybe european and american students should learn more about other regions in their histories. World's not 300 years old... with half of it spawned in 150 years ago. Sure feels like it while 'learning' in a young adult's schooling environment. Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam

C'thulhism. Why pretend that god isn't a sick, angry, cruel, miserable fuck?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I'd worship the norse Gods like a viking, and strike fear death and destruction to all those who opposed me. The men of the villages would all fall by my sword and the women of the villages would all be mine for the taking. Then when I died it would be constant feasting fighting and fucking in Valhalla
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason. 
Since I was born in South America, I'd probably go back to my roots and believe in the Popol Vuh. At least they are humble enough to say that the gods messed up in creating the earth 3 times and had to destroy and start again every time.

They're just as dogmatic, unyielding, and oppressive as all the rest. DEMAND to look behind the curtain. ![[Image: extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/zf86M5L7/extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg) |
