[On Francesca Simon’s book The Lost Gods, a children's comedy novel about Woden]

The Independent newspaper has recently(27/10/13) referred to one of my book reviews to be found on Amazon UK without giving me an opportunity to respond:

[...]

My readers should note that if I had authored a book lampooning Allah, Jesus Christ or Yahweh, the ancestral god of the Jewish-American author, I would have been branded by the `liberal` establishment, muslim and jewish rights organisations and churches as being an infidel, anti-semite or anti-christ but anything that ridicules the ancestral Gods of the native English in England for the sake of comedy and selling books is fair game to these `liberals`.

[...]

The Independent should do a little research and get upto date with the religious make up of England today. Wodenism/Odinism/Wotanism is the fastest growing religion in northern Europe amongst Germanic people. If it is not acceptable to take the piss out of Yahweh/Allah or Jesus Christ without mild censure at the very least occurring then they should afford the same considerations to followers of Woden!

Sure, because there are no books or movies or TV series or comics that feature angels or demons or even god himself from the Jewish/Christian/Muslim mythology. I can’t think of even one such work. Well, aside from

Supernatural
Always
The Gospel according to Biff
Hellblazer
Constantine
RIPD
A Life Less Ordinary
The DC universe
The Marvel universe
Legion
The God’s Army franchise (aka The Prophecy)
Mel Brooks’ History of The World (Part 1)
Preacher (Holy shit, Preacher!)
Sandman (and its spin-off, Lucifer)
Neverwhere
Bruce and Evan Almighty
Dogma

and that’s just from the top of my head in no particular order.

@Jewnior Spokesman:

fastest growing religion is a very vague term. If WK was alone and could convince one other of the hygienically impaired, his religion would grow 100%.

PS: Shit, how could I forget Battle Pope!

The "liberal" establishment would then be in a state of continued outrage at the daily mocking of all various Gods; The Independent would contain little else. As it is, most mockery passes unnoticed unless met with threats of violence from fundamentalists.

As for "fastest growing religion," I think that our hygiene-deficient OP, if he could back the claim up with actual figures, would point to percentages. After all, if Religion A increases from 200 to 400 followers, that's growth of 100%; if Religion B grows from 2m to 2.2m is just 10%, even though Religion B attracted a thousand times as many followers. Furthermore, census data in many countries does not distinguish between Pagan groups.

What do you mean, not acceptable? We do it all the time. Jesus riding dinosaurs in coloring books, a comic where Jesus jumps down off the cross and beats the shit out of the Roman pantheon, Preacher, anything ever written by Jack Chick, and that's just literature.

For movies with terribly unflattering or parodic interpretations of mainstream religion there's biblical snuff film and box office phenomenon Passion of The Christ, Life of Brian, The DaVinci Code, innumerable depictions of kiddy diddling Catholic priests and over-eager Islamic zealots freaking out and suicide bombing someone that shows too much ankle.

Also the fastest growing religion in Britain according to statistics and your own fearmongering is Islam. Not one thing you just said was remotely true.

Philip Pullman wrote a series of children's books, His Dark Materials, in which the main characters kill the Judeo-Christian God, who is the primary antagonist of the story.

I don't remember any significant backlash from liberals. Many religious people objected, yes, but not "the liberal establishment".

Maybe the lack of a backlash over this book is simply because the majority of heathens are not as easily offended as you are, Wotans Krieger. Ever considered that possibility?

@WK:

England is the creation of the English tribes from Germania.

So the English are only immigrants.

The Gods Woden, Thunor, Tiw et al are native to the native English and thus are England`s native Gods.

But you just said that the English aren’t native to England, and therefore their gods cannot be England’s native gods.

"Odin is native to Scandinavia and Germany, not the British islands. Tell your god to go back where he came from! "

You`re a fucking moron. Do some research-the Cult of Wodan began amongst the southern Germanics,ie the Germans and spread NORTH into Scandinavia. The English tribes took their cult with them when they colonised England but I don`t expect a half brained yankie twat like you to know that.

How exactly is what you wrote different than what cdcdrr wrote?

W.K., you are no "warrior." You are a coward, and your comments & actions prove it. You are too cowardly to even post your name (or internet handle), too fearful to respond to the intellectually-superior SpukiKitty because *gasp!* she's a female, and you're a racist bigot - which is one of the most cowardly traits a person can have.

You like to pretend you're some big, manly warrior when you're safe behind the anonymity of the internet, but I guarantee that if you had to fight an actual battle in person, you'd wet yourself & run away crying.

You're a coward, and an immature loser. And unless you severely change your ways, and see a therapist ffs, you will always be a coward & a loser. And one day, you will die as you lived: whimpering, unloved, and unimportant.

So grow the fuck up, get your head out of your ass, and learn how to be a decent human being. Otherwise, feel secure in the fact that everyone here - and anywhere else your pathetic little history revisionist babble is posted - is laughing at you.
