I'll tell you what pisses me off about spirituality. How half the time the people that practice wicca/ wodenism/ germanic-paganism and the sort, don't have a fucking clue what they're doing. I've had to just spend the last god knows how long telling someone that 'paganism' is not a single religion. Moreover that runes aren't magical and that Babylonian Zoroastrianism is not compatible with bloody Irish paganism.

I dislike American Paganism almost to a fault, and I tend to be much harder on them in conversation than I am on Christians. There are very few second generation pagans in this country. It's usually people who don't fit in, want to strike back against their Christian society, and think that magic is hey pretty neat, so they decide to be become Wicca. I find that to be an amazingly stupid reason to join a religion. At least with Christians, they were born into it, and many of them don't really think about it. It's just always been part of their life, so to them it's just there. It's ingrained into our society, and that's the best, and only excuse I can think of to be religious in the face of modern science.
So yeah, if you're going to tell me that you believe in a half-man, half-goat prancing through the forests, I'm going to make you feel dumb.
