I mean, seriously. If a naked horny woman suddenly appeared waving flowers at me I’d start praying too, but it’d be a very different sort of prayer!
Something like this, for instance:
Ποικιλόθρον’, ἀθάνατ’ Ἀφρόδιτα,
παῖ Δίος, δολόπλοκε, λίσσομαί σε
μή μ’ ἄσαισι μήτ’ ὀνίαισι δάμνα,
πότνια, θῦμον·
ἀλλὰ τυῖδ’ ἔλθ’, αἴποτα κἀτέρωτα
τᾶς ἔμας αὔδως ἀΐοισα πήλυι
ἒκλυες, πάτρος δὲ δόμον λίποισα
χρύσιον ἦλθες
ἄρμ’ ὐποζεύξαισα· κάλοι δέ σ’ ἆγον
ὤκεες στροῦθοι περὶ γᾶς μελαίνας
πύκνα δινεῦντες πτέρ’ ἀπ’ ὠράνω αἴθε-
ρας διὰ μέσσω.
αἶψα δ’ ἐξίκοντο· τὺ δ’, ὦ μάκαιρα,
μειδιάσαισ’ ἀθανάτῳ προσώπῳ,
ἤρε’, ὄττι δηὖτε πέπονθα κὤττι
δηὖτε κάλημι,
κὤττι μοι μάλιστα θέλω γένεσθαι
μαινόλᾳ θύμῳ· τίνα δηὖτε Πείθω
μαῖς ἄγην ἐς σὰν φιλότατα, τίς σ’, ὦ
Ψάπφ’, ἀδικήει;
καὶ γὰρ αἰ φεύγει, ταχέως διώξει,
αἰ δὲ δῶρα μὴ δέκετ’ ἀλλὰ δώσει,
αἰ δὲ μὴ φίλει, ταχέως φιλήσει
κωὐκ ἐθέλοισα.
ἔλθε μοι καὶ νῦν, χαλεπᾶν δὲ λῦσον
ἐκ μεριμνᾶν, ὄσσα δέ μοι τελέσσαι
θῦμος ἰμέρρει, τέλεσον· σὺ δ’ αὔτα
σύμμαχος ἔσσο
On the other hand, Anthony does have a pretty bitchin’ sense of decor. I am totally envious of that skull.
And yeah. Pretty magical girls appearing out of nowhere … that’s probably not going to end well. Like soul-devouring badness. But I think if we’re honest with ourselves we know that’s the probable outcome of getting involved with any woman. And we do it anyway. And that’s why Christianity sucks.

You know, I didn’t even notice the skull because I was looking at those vegetables. I’m so freaking hungry, I need to get off the internet and make dinner!
Great post, though. Had to unlurk and leave a comment :)
Yay veggies!
And glad you commented.
I would pray with my mouth, but would not be using words. Mmmmm….And even more so if it was a pretty horned naked guy! (Just as long as he didn’t have a beard…eew.) ;)
I like the way you think, my friend.

Christians are pussies.
