<<Pagan nonsense for a change?>>
I am a devotee of the goddess Athena. I pray to her, I talk to her, I believe in her. And in return she has provided for me. Life has been admittedly rough since I knelt before her, but I have never been without something when I truly needed it.

I gotta say, I have a thing for smart chicks, but isn't going for Athena a little pointless? I mean, the ever-virgin thing like Artemis and all that...
I don't really see anything fundie about this. Granted, it's on Christian Forums, but they do give you the option to list yourself as Pagan, and it's not like Steezie is saying "And Athena told me you're going to buuuuuurn in HAAAAAAAADES for not worshipping her!"
This isn't really fundie, it's just an assertion of faith by a neo-Pagan.
Nick: He's a fundie because he pulled a goddess out of his butt and decided that she among all gods is real.
This would be a lot better if he were saying something really fundie. I mean, this is just like standard Christian belief in praying to Jesus, except it's a less popular deity. I'm all for more non-Christian fundies on here, but we need FUNDIES, not people who follow now unpopular religions.
Makes about as much sense as praying/talking to Jesus and believeing that he/"God" provided for you. Granted, chosing Athena is somewhat strange, but a "spirittual (re)awakening" mustn't come from a popular church.
This girl is a troll, believe me. Otherwise, what´s particularly fundie?Ah yes, the talking part to her. And her cheecky mimic of the fundie rhethoric.
Steezie = fundie?? Roflitis! I am in vehement disagreement with him over things like the death penalty, but I don't see how this---or pretty much anything I've seen him say---is fundie. At all.
Nah, the guy is not a fundie. He is religious, to be sure, but not a fundie.
Not fundie, statement of belief.
Incidentally, I named a chicken Athena after the Goddess...I don't know why. But it suited her.
This...is pretty moderate, I should think. He believes in a deity, and that the deity is a provider, but that just makes him religious. Perhaps I'm not seeing something.
Doesn't seem too fundie, but it's strange that it's from a Christian site.
I mean, "not too fundie" as in "this isn't Athena threatening to smite people down for monotheism" or anything like that.
Dammit, stop disappointing me! This isn't all that fundy. I don't see him saying, "Athena told me to kill you because you're not worshiping her" or something.
BTW, it appears Steezie has left the board. Good for him (her?).
Just a minute,
I am a devotee of the goddess God (or Allah etc). I pray to him, I talk to him, I believe in him. And in return he has provided for me. Life has been admittedly rough since I knelt before him, but I have never been without something when I truly needed it.
Then there'd be nothing remarkable about it.
Why is this still up here after 4 years? It seems the majority of commenters here see nothing fundy about it, and I happen to agree.
Strange, yes, but no stranger than substituting "Athena" for "God," "Jesus," or "Allah."
Yeah, replace 'Athena' with 'Jesus', and you would get a basically mainstream religious statement. Which may be silly, of course, but it's not particularly noteworthy.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
