...since people insist on treating celebrities like gods. And that is not the only reason for me to contend that America is pagan. I think that the ancient greeks followed their gods, but what they were really following different types of (successfuul) men, as each god was representative of a certain personality and disposition that was a certain recipe for success. America, with its ever growing amount of celebrities and success stories, are adding new gods to their pantheon every year. Most of these new gods are false gods, as their ascendence to olympus is a grand hoax. The greatest god of them all is the assimilator, and the usurper (Zeus was both, as analogically, Marriage=Assimilation and Castration=Usurpation). and these new gods are soon to be usurped.
well, what is a literal truth? But I'll tell you this: There is a grand difference beetween a Myth and a Lie. Myth, when taken allegoricallly, represents some truths.
indeed, that is why the study of myths is more than just an artistic obsession. It is our attempt at understanding the evolution of our society and belief structure.
LOL as a rule modern pagans don't go in for goats and virgins, which is perhaps a shame. Indeed paganism is the fastest growing religion in America. Some great truths in here. Am very glad to see some intellectual content in this forum. Makes a pleasant change and gives me hope for the future of humanity.
