That's nice, though.
At least it wasn't 'Sinners, stop working, for I feel I must tell you about the certain hell that faces fornicating satanists such as yourselves'.

Not that I know anyone like that, or am like that.

"Consider the lily" seems to have worked for me so far.

I wonder what manna tastes like.
Or are you meant to rub it on your skin? I'm never sure.

that's one of the oddest Wiki entries I've ever read.

oh that's pretty tame by my experience.
there's far more bizarre stuff than that if you dig around.

Lilith, the Sethian Priesthood, the Nephilim, the Infancy Gospel of Thomas is particularly good.

that particular text is a post-christian Jewish production, I think.
The story itself may have more ancient origins in the tradition.

this is properly ancient:
There's loads of this sort of stuff

I got screamed at in the underground for being a satanist once.
Bless the chap, it was about a month after I'd converted as well. Silly bugger.

I wish to learn more of the circumstances of this incident.

Captain walking, obviously quite het up chap shouting, Captain chuckles to herself, gets on the tube.
It was in Marylebone, if that makes you any happier.

Oh.
I was wondering what it was that may have indicated to him that you were a satanist. And also what you had converted to and how he would have known.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Fri 22 May 2009, 12:41, archived)

He wouldn't have done
it just tickled me that a month after I converted to Christianity some mental inthe tube accuses me of being a Satanist.

I was dressed a bit gothy, I assumed it was that.
