I once had a mystical vision of Mictlantecuhtli, the Aztec God of Death, while tripping balls on magic mushrooms. Does that count?

Rats!

[Decky]

They don't seem to want us Roman Catholic atheists Fasces. It is bollocks, I would happily fight and die for our Church and our people if the 30 years war flared again but not beliving in god is some kind of problem?

[Demosthenes]

Just so everyone is aware, Cart and I are NOT able to create new usergroups.

This does not mean new ones can not be created, simply that the process will take longer.

By all means, carry on!

[Paradigm]

I'm in.

Only if you subsequently became a devotee.

[Potemkin]

Only if you subsequently became a devotee.

I have pledged my very soul to his service.

[Andrea_Chenier]

Does this group accept disciples of catholic stalinism?

[Donna]

Potemkin, I thought you were a Daoist?

So far we have:

-Donald (Roman Catholic)
-Dagoth Ur (Muslim)
-Paradigm (Anglo-Catholic)

[Potemkin]

Potemkin, I thought you were a Daoist?

The sacred mushrooms never lie, Donald. Besides, Daoism has always been a syncretic religion. If the Chinese Celestial Masters can perform shamanic rituals and worship folk-divinities, then surely there's room for my worship of the Aztec blood-gods.

I seem to recall you speaking about this vision of Mictlantecuhtli last summer. For the sake of the development of the members' list, what label would you attach to yourself?

[Dagoth Ur]

I like Daoism too. Plus it jibes with Islam most of the time.

Some time in the near future, human history will be dated from that epoch-making event.

For the sake of the development of the members' list, what label would you attach to yourself?

What label? How about "Do not operate heavy machinery. May cause drowsiness"?

I like Daoism too. Plus it jibes with Islam most of the time.

Daoism jibes with everything most of the time, Dagoth. That's what makes it so awesome.

In Chinese translations of the New Testament, the word "Logos" or "Word" in the Gospel of John is translated as "Dao."

[RhetoricThug]

I am going to participate.

May I join?

[annatar1914]

What the hell, I'll join as an would-be 'Old Believer/Old Calendarist' Orthodox.

[Paradigm]

I am going to participate.

May I join?

I think we might want to have people specify what tradition they follow.

[noemon]

Me too.

Old Calendarist Greek Orthodox(family I was born into and raised).

My philosophy though syncretises Hermeticism, Hinduism and Hellenism.

So "Old Calendarist Orthodox Hellenist" would do.

[RhetoricThug]

Mahayana Buddhism
Gnosticism
Eastern Esoteric Philosophy
