- Well!
- SOMEONE seems to have had a shitty day!
-
- I am well aware of the fast that most modern earth/pagan cults are based on
- fallacies, lies & historical innacuracies, in fact I posted an article to this
- effect on alt.satanism not more that 3 weeks ago.
- The differnce is, I am a member of a "pagan sect" that _realizes_ its history,
- or lack therof. I assume many (I wish most) pagans are aware that their
- religions were started in the 1960's as a part of a counterculture fad. Shit,
- the Church of All Worlds, biggest & most influential pagan sect (according to
- the encyclopedia of american religions) in this country, is based on a science
- fiction story! *Thou Art God*
-
- As far as lies & delusions, while this is inherently part of any sect, there
- is certainly a lesser incidence of this type of thing among the (organized)
- satanists. (barring the ONA of course)
