[Here we see the rare and elusive Pagan fundie:]
MY Goddess religion was there EONS before your goatherding camelfuckers showed their ugly faces with the bible. My Goddess gave birth to your "god". Go look at the provable historical record.

Millenia, yes, Eons, no.
Millenia meaning thousands, eons usually implying millions.
Here we see the rare and elusive Pagan fundie
"If we're very quiet, we may be able to witness the beautiful but terrible struggle between two superstitions. Be careful not to say a word, otherwise they may both take fright and scatter!"
Apart from the camelfuckers part, that's a no-no.
Yeah, 'cause they were really goatfuckers! :D :)
Nope, sorry. Apart from the fact that some humans have always seemed to be attracted to bowing and scraping to imaginary beings, there is no historical record for any god that would hold water. The best you can say is that there was religion before Christianity came along, and that certain aspects of Christianity were borrowed from those older religions. So I suppose you might be able to say that one god or other "gave birth" to the Christian god. But they are both just daydreams.
And I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that older religions borrowed from other mythologies just as much as Christianity did. So it's not as if being older makes them more pure, or anything.
You know Tempest, your Goddess is a modern 20th century recreation which has nothing to do with what the real worshippers did in the past. You know, I laugh when you intend to make me believe that worshippers of Aphrodite, Astarté and Brigid were the same and tought alike.
Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion, all religions. Christ, Yahweh, The Goddess, and Allah all had some pretty good ideas before their followers came along fucked it all up!
After taking the Beliefnet test it told me that I should try paganism. I did some research and it seems up my alley. So I hereby decree, if I turn into this guy, I want at least one of you guys to participate in my murder.
Ok, by "provable historical record", Tempest is (hopefully) referring to overwhelming evidence of pre-Christian and pre-Hebrew religions.
Other than that, uhm, you lose. Most of us don't give a rat's ass who came first or even give a damn about Jesus & friends.
Wouldn't be the first Pagan fundie I've ever seen, though. One of my former roomates was a self-described "Militant Pagan Fundamentalist".
I prefer Militant Agnostics though. "I don't know and NEITHER DO YOU!"

*facepalm* Tempest (I'm assuming your a teen, fluffy, and "honoring" the memory of Tempest Smith with your sc but that's besides the point) while yeah originally religion WAS Matriarchal, can't you be NICE about it, and slightly more educated instead of guessing time frames and such?
For the record, morons, I'm a 48 year old MAN. I've been a Wiccan Minister/Elder for over 20 years.
And here I used to like you people until you attacked me too.
Go fuck yourselves along with the christian and muslim dickheads.
*raises hand* As a Pagan, I'd...like to comment.
Goddess worship was very rare MILLENIA ago. EONS is incorrect. Humankind worshipped male and female together, which I, PERSONALLY, believe is the way to go. I'm SURE AS HELL not going to stomp on anyone else's beliefs; I just want to point out a few historical facts.
God and Goddess were worshipped together; sometimes as the sun and moon, depending on the culture. There were often multiple gods, as each one served a different purpose. I do not believe there was any One God until late Judaism and early Christianity...even the Hebrews believed God had a feminine side, called the Schechinah.
I do hope you aren't Wiccan. They seem to believe that it's a religion thousands of years old...when really it was started in the 1950s by a man named Gardner.
Twenty years? So I guess Gardener could have initiated you into the ancient and sakred magik. That's probably like being baptised by Jesus himself if you're a Christian. Oh, to have been there for the glorious franchising of such a mystikkal and age old religion! Oh, the glory, the glory!
Wiccan elder. Priceless.
>.<
GET OUT OF MY RELIGION.
You're making those of us with brains look bad!!
Geez, paganism is made up of parables, cultural folklore and even "fairytales" just as much as Christianity. There is no "provable" ANYTHING about your goddess, their God or the Flying Spaghetti Monster! You obviously don't get the point of it all- stop being a fluffbunny and read something besides Silver Ravenwolf!
@tempest1380: Go crap out your mouth? Kudos for the South Park reference (if thats what it was) but isn't that a bit rich coming from a man whose insulting fstdters for being immature? Anyway, fstdt wouldn't be worth its name if it didn't have a crack at all religions. For many reasons, Xtianity and Islam make up the bulk of the stupid, but hell, we even get ATHEIST fundies here. However, don't expect to be excluded from ridicule when you come out with gems like that.
This isn't Fundie, he/she/it/they is absolutely right. With the exception of the camelfuckers part.
...
I hope that part's wrong, anyhoww....
No camels. Assholes too high, run too fast. No camels.
Um, my spirit guide has no particular use for gods or goddesses except for allegorical entertainment.
@Kelaina
If I remember correctly the first monotheistic religion was created in ancient egypt, with pharao/sun worship...though according to wikipedia they also developed some form of it in India.
Also, I would not recommend fucking camels. They're vicious bastards. Better stick to the traditional goats.
(Best Attenborough voice) Here, we have a chance to see the rare creature known as the pagan fundie. Like many of its other fundie kin, its primary hunting ground is the Internet, where it can use the thick undergrowth of anonymity as camouflage to lie in wait in unsuspecting forums.
~beat~
Look! Just there! In its Internet prowling, this fascinating creature has come across one of its more common cousins, the Christian fundie! Don't move - let's see how they react to each other's presence... Yes! Just as I thought, they've immediately begun fighting. Some biologists now postulate that the almost continuous enmity between these two species is motivated not only by competition for territory and prey, but also by a deep and instinctual hatred the two have for each other. Thank you for joining me for this brief look at the mysterious and elusive beast known as the pagan fundie.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
