Lighten up people!
And yes, I am deliberately going back to a less serious post because frankly, you're all making my brain hurt. And yes, I know that's my problem. blah blah blah....

I too bathe and shave my legs, arm pits, etc. I wear Degree Ultra Clear Pure Satin Deoderant, and sometimes a light perfume. (I like to smell nice.:p ) I might also go so far as to wear a little mascara and lip gloss.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not prissy, but I
do celebrate womanhood. It comes with being a modern Priestess of the Goddess. (There's pie in your eye for all the naysayers and bullshit spewers! My spirituality affects me and me alone... The Goddess doesn't want my money, other people to follow Her, or any other such stupid material crap. She just wants me to keep everything in perspective and love myself as much as She loves me, so the rest of you jokers can bugger off)!
Look, I honestly have a major problem with censorship. So, you're free to think and say what you like whether you can back up your claims or not, which a few of you haven't been able to do so.
Here's the twist. Many of you have claimed that certain religious groups have demanded the power to think for you. In many ways, and in many traditions, you couldn't be more correct. As a matter of fact, the topic of this thread was about that subject to begin with, right?
The thing is, though, I see
you as allowing either science (which is a sort of religion itself if you get down to brass tacks of what religion
really is...that being an explanation of how things work, why, and where we fit in with all of this) or you allow the cynicism of pop culture make those dicisions for you (i.e., It is radically uncool to have any other paradigm than nihilism). It's all the same.
