Recently, I've done a lot of thinking. Mostly about dreams and fears, but also about my spiritual side which usually seems to be in hibernation. And when I put them all together, nothing makes quite as much sense as coming to the conclusion that I was a squirrel in a former life.

Religions throughout the world have beliefs that there are gods who are animals or anthropomorphisised animals, such as the Hindu elephant god, Vishnu and the ancient Egyptian jackal god, Anubis.

If you're gonna make claims like this, at least get it right. GANESHA has an elephant head. He's probably the most popular Hindu god since he's invoked before all other gods. He's also usually one of the first gods introduced to Hindu children. Vishnu is the god of preservation.

Is it really that hard to Google image search? Elephant head, no elephant head.

And of course, totally ignore the monkey Hindu god, Hanuman. :roll:

Satanism and furry match in the same way that spandex trousers match a beer belly. If that's what the wearer wants, then it's not really anyone's call to say the combination is odd. Conservative observers (or ones with normal tastes) might want to walk away, and if Satanists don't like furs and furs don't like Satanists then that's fine and normal. Emotional human beings can't have their tastes easily altered by some of the rationalism I tend to throw at people in defence of my haphazard adoptions of subcultural labels.

I think "Zeta" means "animal fucker" in that it's the Greek form of the letter Z for "zoophile". Is this right ? Anyone?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the overwhelming majority of furries are christian. They were born into christian families, baptised at an early age, attended sunday school, xmas eve mass, and communion, etc. They or their families may not have been the most orthodox, but back in their pre-furry days I can almost guarantee the majority of them were believers.

The whole 'alternative religion' thing is yet another furry attention ploy. They throw around terms like 'satanist', 'paganist', and 'wiccan' without any real idea of what they mean, simply because most of Western society is programmed to be 'shocked' by them. I seem to recall 'true' Satanism not having anything at all to do with an entity called 'Satan' - IIRC it has something to do with worshipping yourself. Hell, even the name of that 'belief system' reeks of christianity - in no other religion is there an entity called 'Satan'; that name is a purely christian creation.

Those who cling to a more widely accepted religion (ie, one practiced by more than 10% of a given population) are obviously only clinging to one particular facet of that religion, like the examples above of claiming the Hindu gods are 'furry' or that poor old Anubis is furry. If these people actually did some more research into Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, and so on, they'd find that not only are most major religions nearly identical at the core, but to actually be recognized as a member of one of them takes actual effort. Oh, and most of them probably frown on jacking off to furry porn.

Finally, in what's perhaps the most furry trait of all, most of these people have been so busy trying to convince others that they're 'cool' because they're not christians have forgotten to convince themselves they're not christian (by, again, learning more about whatever religion has had the misfortune of attracting them, and, more importantly, practicing it).

(No, I'm not advocating christianity, just noting that the vast majority of western culture is built on it.)

You know, if the big guy is THAT anal about his name, maybe he should have made it something unpronouncable.

I recently re-read darkhorseman's post about the wiccan preist performing a hand fasting between you two and your guyses mare. I was talking to a furry friend of mine about this, and he use to be Wiccan. He informed me that its for all intensive purposes its like a wedding, but that you can't really have one with an animal because the animal would have to know whats going on and repond back weathor or not her/she wants to be married. I don't meen to say this as insult, because even though I'm a Christian I would even allow myself to be in a wiccan hand fasting if it would allow me to marry an animal i would want as my life partner. My friend also informed me that it will be reconized with that preiest and whoever's in that circle, but outside it other wiccan's may not reconize the marrage >.< *wimpers*

Actually, it is. Hebrew didn't originally have any vowels so nobody knows exactly how to pronounce "YHWH" anymore. It's speculated to be "Yahweh" sometimes but, well, it's not positive.

Yeah, "God" isn't his name, just his title (in Judaism, at least). As far as I understand it, his name is the Tetragrammaton, i.e. "Yahweh" or "YHWH", which you can still write, just not usually say, in Jewish tradition.

U.S AID sends VOWELS TO BOSNIA
Cities of Sjlbvdnzv, Grzny to Be First Recipients

Before an emergency joint session of Congress yesterday, the State Department announced US plans to deploy over 75,000 vowels to the war-torn region of Bosnia. The deployment, the largest of its kind in American history, will provide the region with the critically needed letters A,E,I,O and U, and is hoped to render countless Bosnian names more pronounceable.

"For six years, we have stood by while names like Ygrjvslhv and Tzlynhr and Glrm have been horribly butchered by millions around the world," State Department officials said. "Today, the United States must finally stand up and say 'Enough.' It is time the people of Bosnia finally had some vowels in their incomprehensible words. The US is proud to lead the crusade in this noble endeavor."

The deployment, dubbed "Operation Vowel Storm" by the State Department, is set for early next week, with the Adriatic port cities of Sjlbvdnzv and Grzny slated to be the first recipients. Two C-130 transport planes, each carrying over 500 24-count boxes of "E's," will fly from Andrews Air Force Base across the Atlantic and airdrop the letters over the cities.

"With these valuable letters, the people of war-ravaged Bosnia will be able to make some terrific new words," Clinton said. "It should be very exciting for them, and much easier for us to read their maps."

Once the Bosnians have vowels, they will be able to construct such valuable sentences as: "The potatoes are ready"; "I believe it will rain"; and "All my children are dead from the war."

The airdrop represents the largest deployment of any letter to a foreign country since 1984. During the summer of that year, the US shipped 92,000 consonants to Ethiopia, providing cities like Ouaouoaua, Eaoiiuae, and Aao with vital, life-giving supplies of L's, S's and T's. The consonant-relief effort failed, however, when vast quantities of the letters were intercepted and hoarded by violent, gun-toting warlords.

:shock: I've been Wiccan for 11 years and clergy for five, and I thought I had seen every ridiculous thing Wiccans could possibly do to make the rest of us look like freakish idiots. OMG was I wrong.

Hey, how do you these Gonterman comics about you guys?

There was something in there about Wiccans? I must have missed it while slogging through the hellish swamp of bad art.

I lost my religion long ago, I still believe in GOD but I would be the first out of anyone on this forum to burn down a church... that old feeling is coming back thanks to WAYD WOLF.

There was an old one called "Night Soldiers" and a new version that some Wiccan e-zine "invited" him to write...or so he says. Gouge your eyes out! The terrible accent! Ahhh!

Don't waste your one chance to make it big.

Build a church to scale out of paper mache, put little Gonterman furries in the window, put Lola Bunny figurines in little slutty dominatrix wedding dresses, douse with gasoline on video, digitize and post.

Then, you'll be a legend for generating years of loltastic fursecution drama.

(lolz)

And the guy gets upset telling my that I've got to carry on the faith which has been dead for several thousand years.

I don't KNOW!!! :x :x :x :x :x

And I think there's some believers still - at least some like these idiot new-agers appearently pissing off Native Americans, AS SEEN ON THE INTERNET

So I tell him I'm from Egypt and his eyes just light up and he asks me(and I shit you not) "Are you keeping Anubis's faith alive?" Now he says this to me knowing that I'm wearing an icon of the Virgin Mary around my neck. so I tell him that I'm a Copt and that I didn't think anyone in Egypt still worshipped the Old Gods. And the guy gets upset telling my that I've got to carry on the faith which has been dead for several thousand years.

It's sad that with their boring little lives white Americans need to latch onto the ethnical identities and cultural histories of others.

Well first comission afterwards I asked if he wanted to be friends and he told me so bluntly I rememebr the exact wording. "You americans are only good for giving me money." afew years later I comissioned him cause I thought maybe I was being silly and took it the wrong way and stuff and he randomly decided to change one of the characters on the pic he drew into a woman....When I said I asked for it to be a man he went and doodled a man instead of changing it calling me a whinner....

I commissioned him for a pic of two my characters going at it, and he added a "For your greatest fan..." on the end of it for no apparent reason.

Orochi!

Hahaha. What a jerk.

I suppose Furrs Fur Christ, which is run in part by our very own Stoneth, will be mentioned sooner or later. I think it's okay though; they're a little heavy on the Christian imagery, but it's not anything like that "ZETA CHRISTIAN LOL".

Where are the islamic furries?

You know, I've always wondered, what IF furries were actually persecuted like you're suggesting?

I think it'd be hilariously sad that someone would actually be stupid enough to care about persecuting them instead of just pointing and laughing like we do.

And I'm sure that there are people floating around on the internet who would like nothing more than to start a holy war to wipe the Yiffing Plague from the face of the Earth. But, would that make them even more sad/laughworthy than the furries CYD is here to mock?

I bet Islam strictly forbids furry, right alongside alcohol.

"And should the Infidel dress himself as a beast, he shall be put to the sword, and his village burned, and his women raped, and his children slaughtered..."

You mean other than Kimmaugh, right?

So, first of all you: Arabs in Bosnia, it's time for you to go.

No no, don't tell me about the "religious miracle", don't babble about an Islamic renaissance. We, the pig eaters, the hard drinkers, the heavy smokers and those who appreciate the beauty of a woman's unveiled face know much more about this world of Allah than you think. We don't need your instructions. For five years, you did not lift a finger to help, but now you come to colonize lands cleared of our "infidel" neighbors and stained with a mixture of our bloods. We don't need your squat bottle mosques, your long gowns which offer no protection from the Balkan winter, your hideous betrayal of everything beautiful in the world with your fanaticism. Arabs, I wish I could say it's been fun, but better to end the night now than to hang on waiting for satori.

This is calculated. This is not stone-hearted but I'm sure someone who can't understand the point will e-mail me and wonder why I hate Arabs. I don't. I've lived and worked and prayed with them, in their own lands and those far abroad. But if you think that accepting an influx of foreigners into a society fractured among ethnic lines is going to do anything to help, you've got another thing coming. I'm sure there are some Arab charities in Bosnia who have nothing to do with spreading Wahhabism. We'll miss them.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that I'm declaring my hand for one side or another, though. Because while we'll be forever thankful, I'm afraid it's reached the point where we have to break up with our American lovers if we ever want to be, not a normal country, I don't go that far in my delusions, but just a mediocre and very small one.

Plus most canines are considered unclean in the eyes of Islam.

Also, you can try a mix of Christianity and Islam and still call yourself a Muslim, like the Lebanese Druze (and they were basically against Christain factions in the civil war, maybe because of their leftist PSP party vs mostly rightist and sometimes outright fascist Christian parties - I think their allies were a Sunni left and Palestinian coalitions).

PSP? Bah. The DS is better. YOU CAN TOUCH IT...and it won't tell the cops.

In 1944, Lebanon was 56% Christian and 44% Muslim and Druze. (The Druze are an offshoot of Islam who support the Muslim Nazis in Lebanon.)

Lebanese Druze militiamen - The Druze are an offshoot of Islam who support Islamic terrorism

In World War II, the Lebanese Christians supported Nazi Germany and the Axis powers.

The main Lebanese Christian political party, the Phalange Party, was modeled after the Fascist parties of Mussolini's Italy and Franco's Spain. To this day, the Phalangists greet each other with the Nazi salute.

Here again, the Lebanese Christians hoped that their pro-Nazi posture would gain them acceptance among Arab Muslims - since Arab Muslims fanatically supported Nazi Germany in World War II, and have always adored German Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

Lebanese Christians who immigrated to Egypt to become part of Egypt's Coptic Christian minority became fervent supporters of the militant anti-American Egyptian nationalist leaders Gamal Abdul Nasser and Anwar Sadat.

Lebanese Christians who immigrated to the United States became leaders and spokesmen for Arab American organizations that openly support and raise funds for Islamic terrorism.

To be honest, I'm surprised we haven't seen any of the Indian animal-headed gods getting their boink on. :wink:

Ariel Sharon, then Israel's Defense Minister, ordered Israeli troops not to fire on Arab Muslim Nazi civilians, even though this insane policy led to massive Israeli causalities.

By tying the hands of Israeli soldiers, Sharon turned them into sitting ducks for Islamic terrorists.

All of Israel's Likud Party leaders - Menachem Begin, Yitzchak Shamir, Moshe Arens and so on - followed the Sharon policy of being "humane" to Arab Muslim Nazi civilians by letting them slaughter Jewish soldiers.

In the end, over 1,000 Jewish soldiers were unnecessarily murdered in Lebanon and thousands more were injured. Thanks to Sharon, Begin, Shamir and the Likud, Lebanon turned into Israel's Vietnam.

George W. Bush is currently tying the hands of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan in the same manner and with the same murderous results.

By tying the hands of Israeli soldiers in Lebanon and American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, Sharon and Bush consciously chose to value the lives of vicious, hateful, jealous, bloodthirsty Arab Muslim Nazis over the lives of young Israeli Jews and young American Christians who are loyally serving in their countries' armed forces.

I don't remember where, but I think I heard something about a Muslim once getting offended at the thought of furry because it placed man at the level of an animal or something.
