The Illuminati and the Occult - a little offensive to Pagans?
« on: October 06, 2012, 04:19:34 pm »
What's your thoughts with the Illuminati's claims to be tied to a Sun worshiping cult? Are you offended, or just humored?

I wasn't aware the illuminati actually existed. Even if they are real- and I have no doubt there are those out there who consider themselves such - it's not like pagans have a monopoly on any one cultus. The sun affects everyone.
Maker, though the darkness comes upon me,
I shall embrace the light. I shall weather the storm.
I shall endure.
What you have created, no one can tear asunder.

-Canticle of Trials 1:10

This, exactly. I've very very rarely ever been offended by any other religious/belief system before... just the occasional person.. and often, that has nothing to do with religion anyway. :D:

Pretty much this. I'm not offended or humored.

Third and I'm pretty sure that the Illuminati (the modern one at least) exists only in the minds of the Tin Foil Hat Brigade.

I really don't mind what other people want to believe in, even if they're rocking the tin foil hats while they do so.

And science fiction.  Can't forget that.

Forget it? It's all I can think of. Decades later and it still always baffles me whenever someone references the Illuminati outside the writings of Robert Anton Wilson.

Yes. Precisely.

I'll agree with RandallS on this one. On another note, I don't really pay attention to what people think or some group that's out there. Everyone has the right to exist and if you don't like it then you don't have to be around them.

I know a couple Illuminati conspiracy people. I like pointing out all the triangles I can and get them going......
Really?  So, hey, want to go fishing?  I\'ve got a telescope, and it\'s going to be a dark night, so we should see the fish really well.
...what, I\'m not talking about fishing?  That\'s stargazing?  It\'s all doing-stuff, so it\'s the same thing, right?

Triangles are to Illuminati nuts as laser dots are to cats.

Yuppers, and I can't seem to resist pointing them out.......... Maybe I need to get a real hobby, but I really enjoy that one.

I thought Lara Croft stopped the Illuminati in the first movie...
