Why paganism?

Sorry, I missed this one earlier.

Well, growing up my father would drag us to church every Sunday, and I honestly couldn't see the point in it. I reasoned that if God created the Earth in the first place, then why was the Earth itself not good enough? Why did churches even have to be created by man when we were upon a creation of God's itself? Wasn't the Earth enough of a temple?

I very briefly went through the whole teenage I-worship-Satan stage when I got disillusioned with the whole deal. This stage only lasted a few months before a friend found a book on Witchcraft and Paganism and it instantly clicked with me and my worldview.

My sister and mom knew early on, but my father didn't know until I was in my 20s. I was scared to tell him because he is very religious. He even went to college in his younger years with the goal of becoming a Catholic priest (thank goodness he met his first wife before he could go through with THAT plan), but thankfully he didn't take it bad. Strangely enough, at first he thought the word "pagan" meant "atheist" and WAS upset with me, until I told him that pagans (for the most part) believe in MULTIPLE deities. Then his response was, "Oh. Well, as long as you believe in SOMETHING." *eyeroll*

Welcome aboard Pagan Girl! I've got questions.

What is fstdt ?

What is a deity and how would I know if I've met any?

PS: If you're thinking of posting anything in area 69 but are wondering what would be appropriate feel free to PM them to me first and I'll give you my honest assessment.

Eh another Canadian, I believe that makes the current count 4 out of the regular users
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

It stands for Fundies Say The Darndest Things.
It's a site where you can submit quotes by fundamentalists of all kinds, and comment on them. It used to have a forum along with it, but recently the site administrator decided it was too much for him so axed the forum. The forumites created their own site. If you are interested, I'll link you to that site as well, since LastPoet already linked you to fstdt.

Quote:What is a deity and how would I know if I've met any?
I hope the first part of your question is a joke, and I wouldn't know how you would know, as I've never actually met any myself. The closest I've come is feeling their presence. As I know you likely don't believe in ANY deities, I find this question somewhat humorous.

Quote:PS: If you're thinking of posting anything in area 69 but are wondering what would be appropriate feel free to PM them to me first and I'll give you my honest assessment.
Okay, but I don't think I'll be able to get in there for some time. While I'm 31, I don't have a way of providing proof of my age, as is necessary to go to that area of the site. My one scanner is busted, and I don't have a cable to connect my phone to my computer to upload images that way either.

PS. I hope I separated the quote properly... if not please explain how it's done.
