    The more we know about the universe, the better equipped we are to weather its challenges

    My religion also says ignorance is sin but there are also a fucktonne of very content sinners in our ranks, sadly.

        I used to be norse flavored neopagan, I get you. Can’t do a single rune wheel without someone putting a swastika next to it…

          Luckily ive hybridized it with my kins folk belief system, synchronizing Odin with ancestor worship, a form of animism, and a semi Christianized version of a Celtic hunting god isn’t too hard. Helps water it down especially since I don’t really focus on any of the war aspects unless I am actively in a meltdown.

              Eclecticness is honestly pretty standard for folk beliefs especially ones that may have pre Christian roots that have been evolving constantly since, also fun fact my kins weird form of animism also applies to machinery as well. From what I can tell it started with my 3x great grandfather with the term “fae of the engine” in reference to locomotives.
