I WENT LOOKING for the Onion post referred to in one of RMJ's posts and couldn't find it but found that something like it by Kristina Felske was posted on the Second City website eleven years back. It's moderately funny, especially when you recall the online ambiance of the end of the atheist fad of the 00's and other internet anti-Xianity inanity. Since posting actual information in refutation of the ubiquitous pop-history-pop-kulchr bull shit of that kind yields little to no improvement, maybe mockery will.
In so far as pagans go, I generally prefer the modern ones to what gets called that from way back-a-when. They tend to be playful nature and lore lovers instead of practitioners of human sacrifice. Even though they've been some of the most susceptible to pseudo-historical-archeological bull shit when it comes to the "yule" and other things that Christians are accused of stealing from them - who they stole it from is unrecorded in history as just about everything short of such things as human sacrifices which leave actual archeological as well as histographic evidence. Though no where near as susceptible to bull shit as the committed atheists and "skeptics."
