I beg to differ. The Tuatha De Danann are the best.

Less Gods and more a Race of people.

No, I'm not the product of the rape, but still.

Times like these are when I wish I could give endorsements across regions. It's not much, but it feels nice to give you guys something for what you've been through.

Same, my mom was raped as a child. I wasn't born directly because of it, but it fucked up her sexual life so bad that I was born.

Nobody deserves that.

Depends for victim who was raped and gives birth to a child is a good thing if it is raised by the raped victim or sold to adoption. However the person done rape to the victim is highly a bad thing to me.

I'd probably get in trouble if I gave my opinion.

You are missing the key point. These religions do not draw from the same pools of knowledge, they are related... but not as siblings... more like second cousins once removed. To simply say that they are similar is to deny their differences and deny WHY they are different all for the sake of theological compatibility.

That's an interesting way to look at it.

I never denied their differences, to say something is is similar is to accept that there are differences.

It is to turn the phrase around. They share so few similarities it is astonishing that we even bother on focusing on them, other than as a theological masturbation of "Oh you believe in a singular all-powerful deity, well so do I, right oh, lets show those other wankers what for." Again, the schools of thought are what should be important when talking about the differences in religion, and these schools are radically different, even when they are all the liberal groups of their respective religions.

It would be as incorrect as saying that Zeus and Odin are 'similar'. Now, Jupiter and Zeus is a better comparison... because as we all know... when Rome conquered Greece... Greece conquered Rome.

Every body take a big deep breath and say it with me,
"I will not get banned today."

Don't worry haven. We all know what you mean.

(Can something like this get reported?)

Somehow I doubt you can get much worse than saying rape can be good without resorting to a picture of hitler and a neo-nazi rant.

My condolences, and I wish there was a hellfire for the fucker to burn in.

Odin's boring. The Olympian gods are flawed, three-dimensional figures that act in profoundly human and meaningful ways.

The Norse pantheon are just as three-dimensional. And besides, when Prometheus steals fire, Zeus just ties him to a rock and has an eagle eat his liver. When Loki killed Baldur, he got tied to a rock by his sons entrails and had a snake wrapped around the roots of the World-Tree dripping poison in his eyes for all eternity. Which is a more imaginative punishment?

A woman I'm very close to was raped by her mother. I can only imagine what being raped as a kid is like, but I can safely say its not something I'd wish on my worst enemy, if I had one.

I'm... So sorry, Torc.

Welp... This summer just got crappier thanks to Xiatao.

Meh, I think that the Book of Invasions euhemerized the gods, or gave things an entirely different meaning. They're more like elves in some text.
But my ancestors beat the crap out of motherfucking elves. Suck on that Tolkien.

Sweet Jeus people.

This shouldn't happen. Ever.

Can we report Xi for this?

Besides, Norse mythology has cooler monsters and creatures.

I just scream obscenities into the air.
A friend of mine was raped and got an abortion. It was in no way "good" for her. She suffered from stress, paranoia, and had nightmares.

... You know how there's an "Awesome Quotes Thread"?

I think this is the precursor to the opposite of that.

While its definitely wrong, and inflammatory, I think a mod would say its not purposely inflammatory. [/notamod

But I don't think it could hurt to ask.

Whomever says rape is good in any context needs to go and *CENSORED FOR EXPLICT CONTENT*

At least we can agree on that.
