    Yeah, authoritarians from either extreme. Big up to you, for your Anachro-evangelism once again.

      Anachro-evangelism

      Feel like I know more Anarchists who are pagan, but I’ve never stopped to count.

        Ok, this guy sounds like a right wing moron, but he’s got a point. Among a lot of Leftists, ideology is fairly religious, especially the ones waiting for some revolution to broadly remake society. Or the accelerationists pushing for a purifying apocalypse.

            Yeah. It’s got purity tests to separate the faithful from the nonfaithful. It has vicious infighting about heretics/apostates. It’s got a series of myths about a revolution and then a promised land.

        Evangelism doesn’t only apply to those who push the story of that West Bank-ian born guy with the Mexican name… but I did wonder whether to wordswap before posting.

          The Animist Evangelical showing up with an encyclopedia of deities?

            Thanks. Now I’m having an existential crisis about whether an Encyclopaedia of Deities would be filed under Reference or Fiction. Animism is something I don’t know about; but each to their own I suppose. I remember one girl saying it was tantamount to paganism but the reception she got suggested the room didn’t agree with her. I can’t really comment.

              “Paganism” carries a lot of political and theological baggage, particularly among Christian Evangelicals, such that calling something “pagan” can be seen as derogatory rather than explanatory.

                I was not aware of that. Things are different where I live. Pagan has no real negative connotation here. In the land of Druids and the Eisteddfod anyone claiming paganism would be ok; plus Christian Evangelicalism ain’t really a thing over here.
