I know it is intended as a joke, but are there any pagan members on here? Every 6 months I get a good laugh when I come to the AR home page and see the summer solstice and winter solstice message! | ||

I believe this came up a couple years ago and I believe there were folks that were either pagan or wiccan, or Druid. Or at least they had some family ties to such. Larry "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history, when everybody stands around reloading" -- Thomas Jefferson | |||

I read a book about human history and the emergence of man. The writer, I think went back about 100,000 years ago, and basically said our ancestors lived in small groups. Those groups did not mix much. In fact, they might have avoided each other. Eventually small groups got together and formed small villages of 3-4 families. This led to these groups growing in numbers. Then some genius started worshiping some deity - sun, moon etc. They met other groups who worshiped other "gods". Trouble started, as each claimed theirs was superior. And we all know where that has lead. | |||

Why should it be considered a joke? How are Pagan beliefs anymore unusual than Catholicism that states after 9 years of study a guy can change wine into the blood of a man who lived 2000+ years ago or a "saltine" cracker into his body and then we all drink it and eat it? Mike ![]() What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

That brings to mind the words to that John Prine song. "I saw Allah + Buddah,singing at the saviors feet,while up in the sky,an Arabian rabbi fed quaker oats to a priest;pretty good,not bad,I can't complain;but actually all them Gods are just about the same." Never mistake motion for action. | |||

We sure do....it's led to several groups actually believing the entire planet is warming up because of the activities of the others and that we need to levy large taxes upon them to stop it. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
