What the fuck is going on at RPGdot?

[Athame]

Nah, being from Utah, he's most likely Mormon, if religious at all.

Meaning, he's worse than a fundy. He's a fundy that spent his formative years riding bikes in the rain, spreading the Word o' Joseph during a time when most everyone else is popping their first cherry.

Yep, they're just like just like that. I live in Mesa, AZ which has the second largest Mormon Temple in the world, smack dab in the middle of it. Young missionaries on bikes come to my door dressed in shirts & ties about once every three months trying to convert me (Even if it's 110 degrees outside). I just tell them I'm Neo Pagan which scares the shit out of them and makes them leave.

I've thought to myself (Although not too seriously) just how much fun it would be some time to smear some lipstick on, don some drag and when they show at the door say:

"MMMmmmm, hi fellass. It's sssoo very, very hot out there. Would you like to come in for a drink?"

It might not do much for my pride & masculinity but I'll bet it'd keep the fuckers away from my doorstep.

It doesn't work like that, and acting all indignant when you get the same shit (some of it lame, admittedly) as you got in the past is bordering on hypocrisy.

More like makes them think 'Yeah, another one who thinks we haven't heard that shit before' and leave.

I'm with Saint on this:

Well, there's nothing wrong with Mormons as far as I'm concerned. I've never met one that was a bad person. They seem happy and they're required to do missionary work for a certain number of years. Sure, there's the whole "Here's what I believe and have a book." aspect to it, but they also dig irrigation ditches in South America while doing that. In the end, people can believe what they want to believe, but they still have crops. So, I find it hard to knock the Mormons as people.

You idiot. Is it so hard to tell someone that you have different beliefs then they do and call it a day? You have to act like a jackass to a peaceful religious group? Like Twinfalls just said, they've all heard that shit before. Everyone thinks they're a fucking comedian with the "I'm a pagan" and "No, but would you like to join the Church of Satan?"

They're just trying to help spread their religious beliefs and their views on salvation. Just say "no thank you" next time.

 

[Athame]

"I'm a pagan" and "No, but would you like to join the Church of Satan?"

I'm not a Satanist, I'm Wiccan. I have my beliefs and I don't give a fuck what yours or anyone else's are. I don't go door to door spreading the word of the God and Goddess; people would have me arrested. Why the fuck should they be any different?

They're trespassing on my property to tell me something I don't want to hear which makes them as unwelcome as a vacuum cleaner salesman. I don’t like getting up from the dinner table or jumping out of the shower to answer the door.

Note: I don’t hate Mormons. I grew up here which means many of my friends, women I’ve fucked and acquaintances of mine are Mormon. I just don’t like strangers coming to my door unless it’s cops or firemen coming to tell me to evacuate in the wake of a disaster or terrorist attack. There’s a ‘No Solicitors’ sign on the gate. If they can read the Bible and the book of Mormon, I’m sure they can read a two word sign. (This goes for Jehovah Witnesses knockin’ on the door too).

No, but you worship ellipses, which is quite odd. Don't get me wrong, ellipses are pretty cool being scretched circles with two focal points instead of just one, but there's nothing really amazing about consequences of elliptical motion. Sure, there's the whole thing about standing an egg on it's end during a solstice which is pretty neat, even if it doesn't actually work. It is a good time to think about harvesting crops.

Sure, the earth is alive. It's blood is precious. It costs me $3 a gallon to fill my tank up these days. I'll admit I really like trees since they produce yummy things like maple syrup and walnuts and they're pretty great for setting on fire after you murder them and leave them laying around for a season or two when you need heat. Oh, and hickory smoke makes pork taste ten times better. So yeah, trees are pretty neat. I'm not about to talk to one though. I'll let my axe do my talking when it comes to the trees.

Anyway, let's face it. Wiccan is nothing more than a mish mash of celtic crap where they removed all the cool things like eating people's heads. At least the druids balanced out rubbing their foreskins on oak leaves with eating a few Roman heads every now and then.

As nutty as Mormon beliefs are, the one thing they can claim is they don't worship ellipses.

 

[Athame]

I am of the Druidic path. I'm not a tree hugger but I am an environmentalist. I don't think of it so much as ellipses as I do a binary system of the universe.



Your post is absolutely fucking hilarious which proves there's something very healthy and human about my beliefs:

I have a sense of humor and don't get all butt sore when people lay them out on the table, dissect them and hold them up to ridicule. Most fundamentalists, particularly of the Christian variety, cannot make such a claim for themselves. :wink:

 

[Nicolai]

Post a picture of yourself wearing your phat lewt. B)

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Oh yeah? Take this:

• We will pray to Aphrodite
  Even tho' she's rather flighty
  And they say she wears no nightie
  And that's good enough for me
  
  Give me that old time religion
  Give me that old time religion
  Give me that old time religion
  And that's good enough for me
  
  We will pray with those Egyptians
  Build pyramids to put our crypts in
  Cover subways with inscriptions
  And that's good enough for me
  
  O-old Odin we will follow
  And in fighting we will wallow
  Til we wind up in Valhalla
  And that's good enough for me
  
  Give me that old time religion
  Give me that old time religion
  Give me that old time religion
  And that's good enough for me
  
  Let me follow dear old Buddha
  For there is nobody cuter
  He comes in plaster, wood, or pewter
  And that's good enough for me
  
  We will pray with Zarathustra
  Pray just like we use ta
  I'm a Zarathustra booster
  And that's good enough for me
  
  Give me that old time religion
  Give me that old time religion
  Give me that old time religion
  And that's good enough for me
  
  We will pray with those old Druids
  They drink fermented fluids
  Waltzing naked thru the woo-ids
  And that's good enough for me
  
  Hare Krishna gets a laugh on
  When he sees me dressed in saffron
  With my hair that's only half on
  And that's good enough for me
  
  Give me that old time religion
  Give me that old time religion
  Give me that old time religion
  And that's good enough for me
  
  I'll arise at early morning
  When the sun gives me the warning
  That the solar age is dawning
  And that's good enough for me
  
  Give me that old time religion
  Give me that old time religion
  Give me that old time religion
  And that's good enough for me

Had enough yet?!

You rock d00d! I'm clipping and saving that one to show my circle. My high priestess is going to piss herself. :D

Wtf is a high priestess? I sure fucking hope your a woman because if you are a man no woman should be higher then you. :!:

Like I said, console crpgs are the future.

That's a Biblical belief. A Christian guy I talked to once said: "We can't have a female president!(US) It's against scripture!"

I am a man and she's not 'higher' than me. She's a 'crone', a wise elder. I have a high priest as well. Unlike secular Humanists, we don't ignore or abandon our elders, we respect and learn from them. We celebrate all cycles of life because they are like the changing of the seasons within each of us.

In my belief, regardless of gender, nationality, race, (And yes, even religion) we are all equal children of the Earth. (And I'm sure you were just joking.)

Oh Christ, now you have me sounding like an evangelist.

 

[Athame]

Like I said, console crpgs are the future.

The console isn't a platform worthy (Or in many cases capable) of in depth CRPGs.

 

[Twinfalls]

Athame, that's just plain wrong.

Anyway, moving back from the wacky wiccy discussion;

I posted originally just to say to Twinfalls that the site follows the same direction laid down by Rend, with exactly the same mods for years. I don't know why some people want to slam us for having a community site that follows a particular philosphy -- don't like it don't go there, that's why the Codex is here -- but that was Rend's vision and whether people agree or no, it has been very successful and I don't think we'd change it.

Dhruin, I like RPGdot, its a valuable site, I'm just a bit worried about the direction it has taken recently. Just look past the Codexisms of this discussion. If no-one here cared for the Dot, there wouldn't be such threads, let alone any replies. Can you stop being so defensive and turning this into 'you ungrateful Dotbashers'?

 

[Nicolai]

In my belief, regardless of species, gender, nationality, race, (And yes, even religion) we are all equal children of the Earth.

Are you trying to tell me that you're into animals?

*rolls eyes back*

OOooooh Yesssss!

Meh, piss off.

Like Twinfalls said, I'll not discuss my spiritual beliefs here any longer as it strayed the topic off course. I'm too new here to be labled a "Dumb Fuck" and I don't want Volourne to feel threatened at any rate.

If you'd like to know more about my beliefs PM me and I'll message you back. And bring a live chicken next time m'kay?

EDIT:

And you added 'species' to my quote butt wad! Hahaha!

 

[Twinfalls]

Never fear the dumbfuck, or any mod. The mods here are all tards anyway.

That bit wasn't really directed at you this time - it was a general comment that followed on from my response to Exitium. Perhaps it was defensive, so that's enough from me.

As long as we're pretending to be in wierd religions, I'm a Zoroastrian.

 

[Twinfalls]

Which happens to be one of the oldest religions on the planet, but OK.

Oh Christ

Don't you guys get like, smitten with thunderbolts or something for that?

It's not that widespread, you see.
