[quote=Gaia]Hi, DCUM. I'm Wiccan and while I'm not, at least in my own eyes, polytheistic (I believe all parts of the Divine, male and female, are really connected as one), but I'm constantly faced with how monothestic our culture is. Does it personally do me bodily harm? No. Does it point out to everybody else how 'different' and 'edgy' I am? Not really. Do I notice it? Of course. In God we trust. God bless you. One nation, under God. God bless America. God damn it. These are so widely accepted in our society that nobody cares if it's a Catholic or an atheist saying it. But if I were to say "Goddess bless America" or "Gods be damned" when I stub my toe, that would not go over well. I don't mind a lack of physical space to practice my religion, as I have always been very solitary. I'd rather be alone in a forest surrounded by the nature that we're all connected to than be inside surrounded by things that were made by man.[/quote]
