Personal anecdote-- I was on a date with the girl I've been dating for a few weeks now over the weekend. We were talking about The Deep Stuff™ and how humans were created, where consciousness comes from, and....religion. I've been pretty vague with her about my religion, only mentioning that I'm really against organized Christian-centric religion. We were discussing other related topics and she mentioned how she sees Christianity along the same lines as ~Greek Mythology™~ Now, you guys, I REALLY like this girl. Like A LOT. So, with Aphrodite's hand on my shoulder in a death-grip that screamed Don't Fuck This Up, I smiled and nodded, internally laughing that the Goddess of Love, who was quite pleased with my being on a date, had to metaphorically hold me back from defending Her. Just one of those times where you can practically see the neon "hashtag just polytheist things" sign hanging over your head.
