King of the who?

/I don't remember voting for him

Does anyone else find it strange that this random arrangement of rocks would mark the longest day of the year?

FTFA:Druid King Arthur Pendragon told the BBC shortly before sunrise: "It's a very nice atmosphere and everything's fine at the moment.

I hope someone remembers to remind him not to sleep with his sister, or else his little incestuous offspring will kill him one day.

/Help, help, I'm being oppressed!

"It is disappointing that a small number of people chose to ignore the conditions of entry and brought with them illegal drugs but this was dealt with effectively."

Gotta get those stoned hippies locked up.

Good work, Ossifer.

It's not a calendar, it's the remains of a toilet seat for a Nephilim giant. Dig down a hundred feet and you'll find giant petrified turds. Don't you know anything? Pfft.

Nice big text font. Very persuasive.

The stones were moved since they were first laid down.

/no Spinal Tap references yet?

I especially like the part where the quotes used to back it up have nothing to do with stonehenge.

and this
He then informs you that the ONLY valid explanation is natural causes (wind, erosion, glacial deposits). How would you respond?
so MAN could not have built them?

oh how they danced

but i thought you were only a level 2 druid

I've met Pendragon (have hippy parents) and he is...hilarious. He got miffed when I made a Holy Grail reference. Nutty as a fruitcake.

Farking hippies.

Stonehenge is older than any druidic cult, and yet they claim its theirs.

Man the fark up, English Heritage, and kick these Old Age Trekkies back to their basements.

Stonehenge and Intelligent Design? That made me laugh hard. His strawman in a lab coat was something I would expect an evolution troll to have crafted to make IDer's look ridiculous. Are we sure that Bevets is really a fundie?

I think he is trying to draw a very stretched and bad analogy between stonehenge and god creating the universe. The person asking the other about the stones is an idiot creationist asking an atheist about how the universe got created, "do you see how things are made, perfectly, and fit together?" and then the atheist/neighbor replies "It was wind, water, the elements etc"

hey Bevets, ever notice how the crowds at this pagan event are growing, and the crowds filling your church are shrinking? Your religion is dying and its on its way out, no one buys the bullcrap anymore. We remembered that far more interesting mythologies exist to fill the void in our imaginations without the need of a guilt riding hate monger god. The rest of us do not need that void filled to begin with.

Stonehenge is in the middle of a huge army live-fire exercise area. Shoulda MLRS'd the whole place and wiped out 36000 smelly hippies. It's ok, the small bomblets wouldn't have harmed the stones much.

I thought Roland was king of the Druids.

Is that what Bevet's article postulates? There's no way I could be bothered to read it. Holy shiat, what a nutcase.

If you're going to claim divine intervention, the pyramids are a much more impressive achievement.

/where's your God now?
/see?

Funny, he doesn't look Druish.

"Long Day's Journey into Obscurity"

give me doughnuts: Funny, he doesn't look Druish.

Curse you. You beat me to it.

/leaving, not disappointed, but bitter.

Well, to be fair, these people are just switching from one brand of bullcrap to another.

Will he be there?



mmmmmmmmmgh....

Man is unnatural. Duh.

/Killer macrobot plague upon the earth

The Romans slaughtered the Druids and cut down their sacred woods.

/Boudica gave them what for

Came for this, leaving satisfied.

Also, FTFY.

We have no need for this hypothesis. Please keep your religious beliefs to yourself.

Why is this silly? Some people stand in Times Square on New Year's Eve to watch a ball drop. Some people go to Stonehenge to watch the solstice sunrise.

To each his own.

Fantastic, building a henge, are we? That's a fantastic idea! That's a marvelous religion the Druids have got! Yes, got a lot of white clothing, I like that. There we go!

Yeah, too bad about that because the Brits announced the other day that the place has no other significance that as a burial ground for a politcal dynasty.

You don't see the sun in England, hence Stonehenge served the purpose of indicating to everyone where the Sun would be if you could see it.

I have seen the pendragons.

/old school?

No, hes a headless thompson gunner...

Was anyone nekkid?

That's odd, that doesn't look like Bradley James to me.

Pendragon, eh?



One of the most disappointing reads of my life.

Want to really piss off a fundie like Bevets? Show them a little bit of the American Stonehenge (new window)

before Stonehenge, there was Woodhenge and Strawhenge. but a big bad wolf came and blew them down, and three little piggies were relocated to the projects...

My ex wife claims she was raped by druids at Stonehenge in an almost snuff film. Mind you, she has no evidence of this, and her own father says she's a looney, but there it is.

nice.

why weren't those people at newgrange

Happy Solstice everyone.

Yes, even Bevets. Yes, even though he's either a hilarious troll or a completely insane idiot.

/ Speaking of which, I too have been in the august presence of Arthur, King of the loons.
// I'm allowed to say that, I'm pagan.
/// Stop giving the old fruit free press, seriously, he's embarrassing us.

Arthur Pendragon has been in Top Gear to see which was the fastest religion.
IIRC, a rastafarian dude won the first round. Clarkson jokingly said he spent most of the [driving] time on [the] grass.

Wizard Drongo: Yes, even though he's either a hilarious troll or a completely insane idiot.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if those two categories have a lot of overlap.

Must pay attention to TAGS in the future.

/D'OH

I bet all the people there are just interested in the tall, long, hard rocks.

/LOL, Freud?
