DU Pagans...you'll love this

[Khephra]

Someone asked one of my favorite writers, JMS (Babylon 5), this question:

What have Pagans done for us?

(Here's his answer. It's brilliant and worth remembering for future debates.)



Just to respond to this header for a moment...pagans are, by dictionary
definition, polytheists (among other options). So that being the case, then
pagans would be the pre-christian romans, greeks and egyptians who gave us the
very foundations of society, culture, science, philosophy, literature and
drama.

Other than that, not a damned thing.

1. VD !!!

from www.stars.metawire.com

"Orion, the giant with the belt of three stars, has lately been looming large in the South. Just beneath him and to the left is the blazing light of Sirius, brightest star in the sky. In January it's already dark before Sirius rises, while in March it has already risen by the time the sun sets. But on just one day in the year Sirius rises exactly as the sun sets. It happened this week. For the ancient world, before calendars, this special day meant the end of winter, and therefore time for fertility rituals to make both crops and families grow. Young men would send love tokens to their intended partners... and the Valentine cards and presents we send today are a continuation of that."


Damned Pagan Hippies, anyway !
