Norse God of Thunder = Thor
dogpoop = Cheech and Chong
Black Madonna = Paganism is alive and well in the Roman Catholic Church.
Green Fairies = Absinthe
Aristotle = High Priest of rational inquiry
FWIW, and although I realize no one cares and it is not very useful to
anyone but me, I sometimes think of myself as a "neo-pagan". What exactly
that means changes a lot for me, but it has more to do with rituals and acts
that appease certain parts of brain with aesthetic beauty than a specific
belief system. The closest I have come to describing my personal image of
the divine here in off-topic.debate was when I stated the following
(http://news.lugnet.com/off-topic/debate/?n=12748 ):
> MY fantasy is one of an Earth Mother locked in the act of love with the
> Horned God of the Sun. I don't happen to ACTUALLY believe in my fantasy,
> but I think it is more aesthetically pleasing than your fantasy...
Can we all agree it is quite obnoxious to rub others' noses in one's own
personal beliefs and faith-imagery? Really, it's a very private matter...
...it also has no bearing on our accepted communal reality, nor should it.
