Pagan band demands 'quiet area for sex'
A pagan rock band is demanding a "quiet area for fornication" during a summer solstice celebration in Birmingham.
The event, billed as a family fun day out, has been condemned by the Church of England, reports the Birmingham Evening Mail.
Headliners Inkubus Sukkubus demanded the "fornicatorium" at the event, which is being held to mark the longest day of the year.
Managers at the Custard Factory venue confirmed a quiet area would be provided for the group, fronted by female vocalist Candia.
A spokesman said: "They said they needed a quiet fornicatorium. They say it is a fertility rite. The singer goes into a trance-like state. We don't quite know what will happen once the frenzied activity begins."
Druids from across the country will descend on the Custard Factory for the celebration, which is billed as a perfect day out for the whole family, on Saturday.
Rhiannon Biddulph, of the UK Pagan Association, said: "There are certain festivals were we celebrate the creation of life where you have to have sex. Most pagans have a fairly relaxed attitude to sex."
But a spokesman for the Church of England in Birmingham said: "It seems the Druids have overdosed on the magic mushrooms when arranging this event. It beggars belief that this kind of tackiness and tawdriness is being promoted as a cultural family event."

"yet we discount the entirety of the religion based upon Message and Intent."
So tell me exactly what the message and intent is of all Pagan religions?

So if i judged all Christians based on the snake handlers then you would be OK with that even though all Christians aren't snake handlers (and all pagans don't dance naked around trees and fires)? Of course all pagans don't dance naked around fires. I was just recalling a thread where the corpse was defending that very thing in the military.

Well he said "we discount the entirety of the religion based upon Message and Intent" so if he doesn't know what the message and intent of all pagan religions are, then how can he discount the entirety of the religion based upon that?

Easy answer: Although paganism includes all religions that are not Jewish, Christian or Moslem, all forms of paganism, either consciously or unconsciously, reject Jesus Christ. Logic dictates that what is not true is false. Pagan religions are therefore false.

You do realize there are Pagans who don't reject Jesus Christ? Just a quick google search turned up this

That Jesus isn't the Jesus of the NT, he's the Jesus of occult fantasy.

I'll save you the trouble, sparky. You can't.Hosea 13:4 Yet I [am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for [there is] no saviour beside me.
In all of Hosea, it is JHVH himself supposedly speaking here.
Hosea 13:16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
Read it and weep boy. Try looking up your own crap will you? I refuse to wade through sewers to help cure your ignorance. It's why I bailed from the thread the other day, and why I won't be back after this last post.

It's why I bailed from the thread the other day, and why I won't be back after this last post. Probably because you lied. You wrote "There are several instances in the Bible where God commands the "ripping up" of pregnant women who God took a disliking to."
What you posted shows no such command from God.

Lincoln and Douglas would never agree, that is not the sole purpose of debate.
Those that wish a life without conflict and debate can go else where.

Well..... they say it is the same Jesus and that is all that matters. Who cares what the foundational text of the Faith reads, who cares what Christ himself said. < /sarcasm >
The complete ignorance people have concerning history, religion and ideology never ceases to amaze me.
Can we be surprised then that 50% of Americans do not vote and 25% of those that do vote, vote for liberals?

Looks like it's not just gays at the park you have to worry about. Better get your placards and hop a flight to England. This makes no sense to me. What are you trying to say? What does this have to do with the United States and defending her culture at all?

Last week you made a specious quip that somehow I'm betraying my libertarian principles by permitting gays to spend a day at the park. I guess I should consider the mere sight of a gay person an affront to my morality.
But in making this quip, you stated that gays would be there having sex in the park during a gay pride festival.
So, now with that refresher... read this thread again in context.
