Some of these were cute, but most of them were, well not humorous. They come across conceited, and more Hellenic than thou. For example:

“If you are convinced that Ancient Greece was a leftwing-environmentalist-feminist-homosexual-pacifist-socialist utopia”

Of course anyone in their right mind wouldn’t think this, but the Greeks did care for the earth, they were definitely less patriarchal than most societies, homosexuality wasn’t exactly taboo (well, not completely). The only things on the list they weren’t was a socialist utopia.

“If you think your schizophrenia is really a higher state of consciousness and places you in communion with the Gods”

This was completely uncalled for. Not only because you’re putting someone down for something they cannot help, but you are, in one sentence, basically stating that there is no room for personal, subjective communion with the Gods. Who are you to say who’s “higher state of consciousness” is legitimate or not?

I do happen to have a sense of humor, but this article was brimming with bile at people who don’t have your level of “expertise”. I don’t care who you are, yours is not the final word on anyone’s spirituality, Hellene or otherwise.

Wow. “Who Mourns for Adonais”? Someone’s an old school Trekkie. Love the reference.

I know this is an old post, but the schizophrenia comment was in horrible taste. Making fun of mental illness to prove how anti-fluffy you are is just tacky.

Sigh, Some people just have no sense of humor, Tim. LOL

We could probably add that you’re a fluffy bunny Hellenic Polytheist is you believe that the *true* Hellenic Religion is oathbound and an orthodoxy.

That is the joke. A Fluffy Bunny is willfully ignorant. They are misinformed, but comfortable with not questioning the false or incomplete information, stupidity, or illusions they have been given, and refuse to study further. They are not open-minded enough for discussion or debate, but have convinced themselves they are the more open-minded. It is extremely funny.

Are you being humorous, or are you trying to insult people. While I don’t fall into any of the categories in this article, instead of insulting potential newcomers to your religion, you maybe should try to get people like these to “see it your way” instead of simply insulting them. I thougth Hellenic Polytheism was interesting, but why would I want to associate with people like you.
