    Let’s not LARP in a post-modern way with the religious customs of people, treating their worldviews as a consumerist identity. Find something you truly believe in and dedicate yourself to it, take leaps of faith, find a congregation (god). Don’t just drape yourself in the trappings and aesthetics of others disingenuously

        Hellenism and other mythologies are basically dead as you say, but they all have neo-pagan modern day variations that are essentially LARP and have no connection to the original belief systems. The comments above seem to be suggesting we indulge in this purposefully.

        These neo-pagans are trying to fill an empty void where community and faith is supposed to go, but is lacking in our modern world. It’s not really their fault but it’s extremely hollow and false, a very “shopping for ideology” identity-confused modern phenomena.

        I can make a serious earnest response in a joke thread, you don’t need to act all up in arms about it. Just chill
