What religion do Stoned Goats follow?

[cleanhippie]

[EvolveOrConvolve]

1. I've heard the Royal Church of Pythagoras is the place to be

[Freelancer]

2. Let he who is without sin stone the first goat

Definitely Zoroastrianism. No Question, IMO.

4. Ever hear Joseph Campbell's 'Give Me That Old Time Religion' from Power of Myth?

(sung to the tune of 'Give
Me That Old Time Religion')

Shall I worship Zarathustra
just the way we use ta?
Be a Zarathustra Booster
What a thing to be!

Or maybe Aphrodite
She’s beautiful but flighty
and doesn’t wear a nighty,
now there’s a sight to see.

Or perhaps I’ll choose Apollo
a decent god to follow
I’d grovel and I’d wallow
Brought low on bended knee.

Elohim or Yahweh?
Allah or the highway?
I think I’ll just go my way.
That’s good enough for me.

Joseph Campbell said a friend of his started it.

13. I have always loved that song...

...and there is a great rendition by Pete Seeger in the FFRF podcast from February 2, 2014...

Song starts around the 17:15 mark...

Old Time Religion

Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
Give me that old time religion
It's good enough for me.

We will pray with Aphrodite,
We will pray with Aphrodite,
She wears that see-through nightie,
And it's good enough for me.

We will pray with Zarathustra,
We'll pray just like we use ta,
I'm a Zarathustra booster,
And it's good enough for me.

We will pray with those Egyptians,
Build pyramids to put our crypts in,
Cover subways with inscriptions,
And it's good enough for me.

We will pray with those old druids,
They drink fermented fluids,
Waltzing naked though the woo-ids,
And it's good enough for me.

We do dances to bring water,
Prepare animals for slaughter,
Sacrifice our sons and daughters,
And it's good enough for me.

I'll arise at early morning,
When my Lord gives me the warning,
That the solar age is dawning,
And it's good enough for me

12. What I want to know is...

...what is going to happen to the goat?

[mr blur]

14. Faitheism, obviously. ( nt)

[Act_of_Reparation]

15. Solipsism, apparently.

They certainly spend a long time talking to no one, for their own benefit.

But I have just started staring at them.
