Should pagans be allowed fire sacrifices during heatwaves?

[purplepoppy]

There's a ban on barbecues and fires in the UK due to widespread wildfires. But that's left us with a huge problem. How do we appease the gods with fire sacrifices? Up and down the country Wickermen are stuffed and ready to ignite but the government says no.

I doubt they'll ban Diwali fireworks or candles at Christmas, but when Pagens want to burn a goat stuffed wickerman it's a different story

[RavVid]

The harvest will fail if the wickermen are not ignited. Then pagans will need to stuff politicians into the wickermen instead of goats because only human sacrifices will appease the gods.

Despite claims otherwise, politicians are still technically humans though not the cream of human kind (obviously).

The politicians should have another think about banning wickermen.

I'm just going to say it here because I'm pretty sure there won't be a better thread for it. Britt Ekland didn't even do her own nude scenes in The Wicker Man... seriously... that's the one thing she was famous for and it wasn't even her.

End of whinge.

Body doubles are the REAL stars of the movie industry.

[RavVid]

That is far worse than telling a child the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause don't exist. Britt Ekland didn't do the dance!

You will be the first person I stuff into the wickerman to help you on your way to Hades.

[MrChinaski]

@RavVid LMAO. It was a local exotic dancer. Sorry.

[MrChinaski]

@RavVid Pretty much the closest to a useful thing I learned on reddit.

[RavVid]

Sadly I have verified the truth of what you have said. Still I am recovering my fantasies from the shock reveal and consoling myself that Britt's breasts were hers. It was only her ass that was doubled.

It's fascism to suppress religious rituals. Muslims have sharia, Sikh can walk with sword long knives but when pagans want to burn a straw effigy UK officials and police turn instantly in GeStaPo.

The Wicker Man

I don't think me and fictional Nic Cage would think very highly of that lol 😂 😆

Stay away from matches folks and be good 😊 👍🏻

[browsingthroughthe]

@purplepoppy that movie remake has some priceless one-liner's and GIFs and YouTube compilations

[browsingthroughthe]

@purplepoppy always like a Nic Cage movie usually I do and whoops almost called purple, poopy, oops 😬

Tsk... sounds as if the pagans have left it too late to make their sacrifices. Methinks the goats may have bleated their need to their own meadow deity and gained a reprieve... for now.

[georgeboy2006]

Pretty sure the gods would prefer no wildfires over a burnt Wickerman! Fire bans apply to everyone even ancient deities have to wait for winter.

[BCRanger10]

How does this question keep getting moved back and forth between Religion & Spirituality and... whatever TF other topics it's been in?

[CaptainSmartass]

Nope. If Andy Crash-And Burnham won't allow barbecues on safety grounds, then the pagans can't have fire sacrifices. They'll have to adapt.

Simples...

[jshm2]

There is nothing in religious text that demands anything be "burned" specifically.

[RavVid]

Not in that religion but it is not the only one.

[AviatorTom]

Can't stop religion. Let em burn, but make sure the fire brigade is nearby.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Maybe be smarter? I don't know 🤷‍♂️
Easy problem to fix. Not like Europe isn't rich.
You are just misinformed and proud.

[browsingthroughthe]

@FrodoSkywalker007 Nah, @purplepoppy she has a fine heart 💓 of silvery goodness 🥈 silver

[TonyMetal___1986]

Ask this drunken "Randomgirl" but she's busy now since it's spring 🤣

[canamlusciouslad73]

Of cellulite-bopping fat broads in shorts !!!

[Enginn]

Appease the gods with fire sacrifices? Lol thats just crazy. If your religion says that its not a good religion.

[Shiprex]

No. Sacrifice for superstition is idiotic.

[exitseven]

sure, it sounds like harmless fun

[AngryCarl3]

I think technically it's still a barbecue.

[Eempriyanka]

Self immolation

[Paige2006]

No...

[RedInnocent69]

But rain dances are to be encouraged
