The return of ancient Greek religion!

[kallistii]

It seems that the road has been paved for the return of the ancient religions of Greece.

"It has taken almost 2,000 years, but those who worship the 12 gods of ancient Greece have finally triumphed. An Athens court has ordered that the adulation of Zeus, Hera, Hermes, Athena and co is to be unbanned, paving the way for a comeback of pagans on Mount Olympus.

The followers, who say they "defend the genuine traditions, religion and ethos" of the ancients by adhering to a pre-Christian polytheistic culture, are poised to take their battle to the temples of Greece."

There was also an article on this in Archaeology Magazine, I think in December.

Wow, that's awesome! How stupid for them to have been banned in te first place.

You should look up the website for YSEE, a Greek Reconstructionist group. I think they are the bulk of the 2000 pagans mentioned in the article.

Oh, sure, it's all fun and games until the Cylons return to wipe us all off the face of the planet.

But I am sure that Eris will give those CNylon warriors the runs!

But seriesously...most of BSG is based upon Mormon mythology...which is almost, but not quite as strange as Scientology Mythology.
