What's the Hidden Secret in *Your* Religion?

[Feathers in Hair]

Branched from this thread, what are the deepest, darkest secrets from within your tradition? (I'm hoping Maize and Booko will tell me more from theirs!)

Pagans:

• Really enjoy Moonpies and have midnight celebrations in order to spread the good news that they exist.
• Secretly run Wikipedia.
• Are the only ones who know what's really happening on the island on "Lost".

Tell us your faiths secrets! Don't worry- it'll stay between you and the forums!

I'll share a real one. This fact was largely erased from Bosnia's collective memory but, during the Holocaust, the Nazi regime actively recruited Bosniaks.

In the Nazi understanding of ethnicity, we were considered to be Croats who happened to be Muslim instead of Roman Catholic. Since Croatia was an ally, and public outrage in Croatia in regard to massacres of Bosniaks in border towns early in the occupation was so strong, we were treated a little better.

They recruited thousands of Bosniaks to fight on the side of the Nazis, most of whom were executed after Bosnia was liberated from the fascists.

Atheists:

- Hate small children and, thus, enjoy telling them that both Santa Claus and God do not exist
- Signed a pact (in blood!) with Satan in order to influence scientific findings that make belief in a Creator seem unreasonable
- Are behind the moral decay in society and are trying to prevent everyone from being able to worship their god, gods, godess, godesses, and/or androngynous deity/ies
- Really like freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies and fuzzy wittle bunnies (both dunked in a nice, cold glass of milk, of course)

You forgot that pagans also kiss the Devil's anus.

Seriously, this was believed at one point...

1. Underneath all the manliness, we all secretly just wish to be hugged.
2. Mead isn't really all to necesary for a sumbel. It just makes things so much more interesting.
3. Related to 2: Oaths made during sumbel are damn serious, so try to avoid anything involving being stronger than a crocodile (or bear, or elephant). Just ask one-armed Gunnar.

I thought it would be best to get all our 'hidden secrets' out in the open! :hug:

A Dianic Pagan secret:

• We don't dance in shifts. There's usually room for all of us to dance at once.

Lightsabers are not actually made from light. The focal point of the blade would be impossible to create. Instead see plasma.

Only my reality matters. :help:

Only the clear gummy bears are allowed!:149:

Angelina Jolie's lips are the closest thing to perfection in this universe. :flirt:

And I can't forget...cats rule!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mister Emu]

We currently rule the world alongside the Illuminati, FreeMasons, Rosthchilds, Rockerfellers, and the UN in a secret New World Order.

All of us know Kung-Fu. That means I can kick your ***.

You can't imagine the delight of Mrs A_E and I when we discovered via the da Vinci Code that Chrisitanity is really a fertility cult! Yippie-Ki-Yah!

The biggest secret in my religion is that there is no secret

It's just that simple.

Greetings!

>What is the greatest secret in your religion?

Wrong number.

We Baha'is have no secrets whatever!

What you see is what you get.

Best,

In my religion we have to count our toes before we go to sleep to make sure that they are still there as we have nasty demons who don't like us and like to steal our toes when we are not looking! Not alot of people know that!

Mormons are the real power behind FEMA - and you thought that all that nuclear waste was being trucked to Utah for "storage". HA - fooled you!

Panthiests are really just atheists who just really like trees, and stars (and possibly Star Trek). Seriously....we're just "Pagan lite" - but, not made with Olestra or aspartame. Naturally low fat and cholesterol free. High in sugar.

Atheists are really organized into a secret political society that is moving to take over the world and eliminate all organized religion, and force every citizen of the US to be a Humanist. And, we brainwash your children with super secret hypnotic devices installed into all public school teachers.
