This is because Druidry is simply not a religion. Now, it’s true that religion is notoriously difficult to define. But true religions surely rest on an established structure of traditions, beliefs, literature and laws.

Above all, they share a belief in a supernatural deity (or more than one) that governs the universe.

By these standards, Druidry is surely not a religion but a cult — a group defined merely by ritual practices but which stands outside mainstream religion.
What an extraordinarily stupid fucking cunt.

She says that Druidry should not be classified as a religion and get all the goodies because it isn't mental enough to embrace a sky-daddy - instead they go for Mother nature. Perhaps she should object on the grounds that Gods should be male.

Honest to Christ, how did she not read back what she had written to herself and break down completely with the realisation that after years of writing complete shite she had finally lost the plot completely.

For a moment I misread the title as "Druidism to become the official Religion".


That could be interesting... :ask:

The stupid is strong in this one. By her definition Buddhism is also a cult.
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

I was thinking that. :ddpan:
In the best laid plans of history lie the ruins of the past
And a chronicle of suffering shows the mythic pall they cast
To believe is true religion, but to see is truth at last
Oh no, too late to hold a trial, time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial

They have been given the right to take days off to perform rituals, such as leaving food out for the dead, dressing up as ghosts and casting spells, or celebrating the sun god with ‘unabashed sexuality and promiscuity’.
...
... and this is different from other "religions" how? :lol:

How on earth has our supposedly rational society come to subscribe to so much totally barking mumbo-jumbo?

Given that the wicker man 'or other methods of human sacrifice, like casting into a peat bog with or without benefit of a quicker execution beforehand) may indeed have been used at the time, you can get why Romans, who had long sworn off such customs might have been scared, both of men with the resolve to do this to their own countrymen, and of ending up in the wicker man along with common criminals for the Imbolc celebrations.

I see she appears to be unaware that Scientology were refused charitable status on the grounds that it does not benefit the public interest too.
