Quote:quote:I speak for my ancestors. If you want to speak for your ancestors, that's fine by me
Er... a lovely thought in principle but it all falls down because
1. your ancestor and my ancestor are probably the same person...
2. no-one knows what these ancestors [u]actually</u> believed - and to assume they believed in the same late modern neo-Paganism that you do is just as insulting to them (and to their non-Pagan descendants such as myself) as it is to assume they were Christian, Muslim or Hindu...
Your approach to claiming everyone's ancestors as your own sounds a bit like that of the Mormons (another bit of 19th century fictitious nonsense). And just as offensive frankly.
