Well....Why Not!

ATHENS, Greece (AP) - After all these centuries, Zeus may have a few thunderbolts left. A tiny group of worshippers plans a rare ceremony Sunday to honor the ancient Greek gods, at Athens' 1,800-year-old Temple of Olympian Zeus. Greece's Culture Ministry has declared the central Athens site off-limits, but worshippers say they will defy the decision.

I mean, they don't sacrifice virgins or anything.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

theyve not been allowed to worship the old gods for very long
about a year or so ago it was still illegal
this was because of the greek church who were of course overreacting to the fact that they didn't really want any islamics in there since they managed to kick the moors out but they dont mention that much because its not pc to blame your prejudice against got on another religion that tends to answer back
anyone who lives in england right now can tell you that bloody big brother is watching me watch them on the news reports 24-7 and raking in the new ratings. racist bastards
"thou shalt have no other god but me"
hehe. there that feels better
the decision is still kinda liberals like it conservatives think the pagans should be stoned kind of thing
:wink:

It's as valid as any other religion....and apparently a lot less dangerous.

Marduk,

Glad to see you ditched that horrible hairdo.

Almost pretty as me now.

Why Not! Any excuse for a party if you ask me.


That's why I celebrate Solstice, Christmas, and Haunaka.
