You might be a pagan if you find yourself explaining the story of Jericho to your kids, using the actual Bible, after they've watched the VeggieTales version, so they know the difference between what's in the book and the bowdlerized sanitized version usually presented to kids.  Not to mention asking how they would feel if they were the jerichoians, how much would they like that god?

And you still have the video and can and do still sing 'Keep Walking' cause d---t, it's cute.

You nearly apoplexy when your teacher, explaining the Olympic Games and their origins, calls the gods "vile" because of their technically incestuous marriages. And then you pray to make sure Hera doesn't strike her down. Or Zeus, but I don't think he really gives a fuck.

WAIT!

You weren't kidding?  Oh man, I wonder if it would work on the JWs?

Well, telling them I was a witch didn't when I was younger.  Their eyes got wide, they put away the little pamphlet they were holding, and gave me a hardbound illustrated copy of the Book of Revelation instead.  Then they kept coming back every week for a little while-- I stopped answering the door and eventually they gave up.


Sometimes I miss that little book.  The pictures were pretty funny, as I recall.
