I'm working on a Divine Comedy at the moment and in order to get a good view of the Pagan view, other than my own (of course), I'd like to hear what all of you think. If your gonna bad mouth this top, then don't read any further because this is for a writers compertition that I'll be enterying and I don't need the childish banter about my project. To everyone else, have fun and enjoy my poll, feel free to make any comments and if you don't want to be too serious because after all, I am writing a Divine Comedy. Enjoy.
So what happens to those of us who aren't of the Christian Faith?
What happens to us?

Pagans and demons have a big grand party everyday while people who were too uptight to "sin" whine and complain while secretly wanting to join in.

I don't believe in the end of the world, as armeggedon.
I believe that no spiritual force will demolish our world, we'll do it at our own hands via war, pollution or whatever.

hmmmmmm, we seem to have a different aproach towards demons, but maybe we have different meanings for thm.
In latvian paganism demons are bad:), we use pentagram from ancient times to be protected frm them. suck away your health and so on. , however there are many forest, water and fire spirits
and we find nthing bad in thm.
but the idea of christians about armageddon is completely wrong.
Many myths are talking about final battle between gods and spirits. But only christians beleive tht they will be the only ones rewarded afterwards. Two paths here. Either we wind and make a grand party[no fundies, I would have dealt with thm myself by tht time], or we lose and then we're all fcked.

I'm pretty sure most of us believe some derivative of the same. However, this is for a comedy. Thus, since it's make believe, you can pretend you think there is an Armageddon, then say what you think would happen. Basically imagine a funny story or joke of what would happen.
The point of this thread isn't to discuss the theology of armageddon or demons, but if you want to talk about that start a new thread about it in Theology & Philosophy. This one is just for funny ideas for a made up story about armageddon.

I am torn between the Christians being taken to 'heaven' (their heaven is my hell to be honest with you, I mean I couldnt take church once a week let alone every moment for the rest of my misrible eternity) while we party with the demons, and the pagans being taken to our Heaven while the christians stay behind and curse god for his choice of us over his own adopted kids.
My personal thoughts, I would much rather stay here and clean up after the mess than go to a heaven were the god is so insecure as he had to make blind deaf and mute children to worship him constantly.

That most of those who voted opted for the option of the demons giving us employment because that is actually part of my Divine comedy. Like the Pig Farmers in the Gluttony domain of hell. Or the damnation of becoming a chicken used to serve the Gluttonous demons. However the endless parties with the Demons has got me thinking for a few more things to add to the divine comedy.
Though if we were all Partying with the Demon, would that make us all Demonoids? Part Human, Part Demon because after the 150,000 (or however many it is) go off to heaven, there would still be all the ones left behind because this is 150,000 people out of the WORLD population. So there would be loads of people left as well us Pagans.
So that would be worrying for all those who didn't get to go up, here's all these demonoid Pagans (just for arguement's sake), smiling at them. Especailly, since not all of the Christians wouldn't be taken up. Because I have the feeling it wouldn't be just Christians that would go up, if you think about it. People like the Dalai Lama, Susan Weed and anyone who is humble about their acts towards other people and try to make the world a better place.
So going by the stats so far; we and anyone else willing to stick their hands up who wants to NOT be damned stuck their hand up in the air as to be spared and not be damned. So those of us who were smart and stuck our hands up and got out of getting red hot pokers put somewhere painful.
I'm going to approach the topic of accepting employment from the demons at the time of Armegeddon.
Here's another set of questions for those of you who wish to answer some more on this Divine Comedic topic.
If you were willing to take emploment over damnation; What demonic form would you like to take? What would you look like?
This will go into the DC as well. What area would you like to reside over or work in; Lust, Greed, Pride, Gluttony, Envy, Wrath or Sloth?
Feel free to ask me any questiona about my essay. Do you think when I'm finished that it should either be posted onto Mystic Wicks Literater section in incriments or subitted to our Newsletter? Afterall, it is a comedic look at Armegeddon so it should be a lot of fun.
I've included a picter of a T-shirt about the 7 Deadly Sins, maybe it will put some of you in mind about this.
I do like the idea of Jesus taking all the Pagans instead but that remined me of an arical I have at home about Jesus. It's about how Jesus was one of us, if anyone is interested I'm quite happy to send them a copy via email or post the artical onto MW for everone else to enjoy. If you're interested feel free to tell me either here or send me a message.
How's the wabbit huntin' going Myst? Caught any yet?

I know it for sure, always wanted to be smth like this.
For short visual l you can take a look at my avatar.
Tht would be nice.
The other form is smth like 6th century Latvian pagan warrior with green eyes[not green but smth like matrix effect flowing in them].
Hmmm, if I have to choose frm ; Lust, Greed, Pride, Gluttony, Envy, Wrath or Sloth, I would take pride- the most important thing for an immortal ancient warrior. or any old time warrior.

I think that every armageddon myth from every culture should come true, all at once. That would be keen.
So while Jesus and Satan are duking it out bringing about a Hell on Earth, you should have all the other dieties running around in the background doing their things, and kickin' it with their followers.
I don't know much about any of the other other Armageddon myths, but it would be pretty neat if they all happened together at once. Set swallowing the sun while angels are escorting the saved into the rapture, and Xenu (scientology's version of satan) could erupt from a volcano and call down a horde of Thetans and clams to slaughter everyone, that would just be bitchin. I don't know what the Discordian destruction myth is, but it probably involves throwing fruit or something, that's a recurring theme in my Path.

I once talked to a pagan from Oklahoma (according to her half of Oklahoma is Born Again Christians and the other half is Pagan), who was concerned about some dreams that members of her coven were having in which the Christians were raptured away and it was left to the Pagans to fight the demon hordes. She wanted to know if I had heard anything about this? I told her that I thought her people had been caught in the general millenniallist/apocalyptic thing that was going on at the time (this was in 1999), that Armageddon was a Christian concept, and that all my people were dreaming about Atlantis rising .... It seemed to calm her down.
Given that most of the devils and demons of the Christian mythos were the gods and goddesses of religions past, I say .... where do I sign up? Let's clean this mess up a little.

I dont believe in Armageddon although I do think mother earth is going to eventually get sick of us and wipe us out eventually. It wont be the end of the world, just the extinction of humans. But I'm not worried...i can always repent right?! har har

Nothing short than total dominian over all of heaven earth and hell if I were to choose to work demonicly (oh you should have seen me in my glory days!) so pride and wrath really a combination of the two and I would rise in the ranks of demons and angels (cause no one stands in my way) to ascend to the throne of god itself over through the all powerful and take creation by force! I would be the greatest god creation had ever seen! My rule would be a long and glorious one! I would be the God of Gods! Slay the evil god (no not me) and use his corpse to create my own flesh and bones, his breath would be mine his blood (which I will be far more stingy with, for I am the greatest of Gods why should any puny mortal be saved by my blood?!) would then be my blood, his throne his kingdom his creation MINE!
I would take creation from it and then then I would destroy any one who dares to stand against me or invoke the dead gods name! I would rule with a divine fist! My kingdom would be perfect, chaos and order united as one, creation and destruction the same. The sky would burn and the water boil the earth herself would sing to me! I would be the most glorious of demons, I would be the most glorious of all creation! I would be the rightfull enheritor of all of creation (as I would have to kill god, isnt it fair that the person who does all the work should recieve all the reward!). My armies unbeatable so long as I stand with them, My lands un challanged as long as I stand with them, my world United and ONE as long as I stand with them! I would be a glorious god, and from the ashes of the dead gods world I would create a perfect one IN MY OWN IMAGE! I would destroy all who dared to oppose me and from their bones make my bread (oops wrong imagery), torture their souls for all eternity at my whim. My creation would be a perfect creation, with no sin other than sins against me, my world would be so beautiful that the very god that I over throw would be forced to conceid that I am the better. I would be a glorious god and all my work would reflect that, all my work would be pale in comparison yet drive the infedel to tears at the sight of my beautiful creation!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Or wrath but I dont see those two as seperate... Oh I dont know Lust would be fun to, but I am already a horny devil so... Oh is that greed pride or wrath any way, I mean it is all for the glory of me but it is also to posses what I dont really need, and To crush those who I think need crushing... Any way my form would be one of pure glory, one of which people would crumble at my feet for... Something like that of the brightest star in the heavens, but not of his creation (pride :lol: )
Oh ya tiny disclaimer this is only for fun, although I would be a great god I dont seek any power glory or whatever and I wouldnt destroy that god just for the sake of taking his throne (why destroy when you can gamble?!), this is all for fun and nothing said here should be taken as my beliefs dreams or whatever, all PLAY nothing like my own dreams.

Here's an idea I had, Lilith.
After the armageddon, all the different christian factions start fight over who gets to go in the Heaven line first. God lets the Jews in first.
God shows himself to the Christians then introduces them to Goddess.
Goddess forces everyone to aplologize to the Pagans.
All the Christian factions fight over who gets to aplogize first.
The Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, and everyone else except the Pagans go to their respective Paradise.
The Pagans are given the Earth.
And Jesus lines up all the Televangelists in a line, and proceeds to smack each one in the back of the head as they are lead through a door marked "Heaven - Department of Civil Service"
And as the scene fades, someone asks "What about the demons?"
Another voice answers "Ozzy's house."
I hope this helps. I might seem a little over the top. But if it gets a laugh, it's good. :)

Kinda like that idea-How about this? The christians wake up one morning-and Everyone else is gone-and when they wonder why-the answer booms from the 'heavens" -"You always had heaven in your grasp-and here is what you have made of it-just as you wanted it..." Voice sounds remarkably like Charleton Heston, of course...:boing:

Because Armageddon is actually a Christian concept, I suggest that those believing in Christian mythological premises will enter an alternate universe where they will experience their belief system.
There's a great book, I forget the author, called: The History of the End of the World, which touches on many of the end of the world myths in many countries and cultures of the world.
My personal favorite is Ragnarok.

I don't believe the world is going anywhere for a long time.

It is what will happen (in fiction) at Armeggedon to us (Pagans) and everyone else.
Did you know that the word Pagan does not just mean Witch?
It is actually an old word meaning Jew/Jewish.
This is afterall a Divine Comedy not a reason for other beliefs to be petty and fight with each other. Might I be the one to remind you all, that is not the Witches Way.
Warrior Class demons: Wrath. Not Pride; sorry to those of you who would be hoping for that but you'd have to be a member of Wrath if you wanted to be a Warrior Class Demon.
If you want a view of what a Divine Comedy is check out this link.
Dogma Review (http://www.attrition.org/movies/dogma.html)
It's taking the mickey out of Armeggedon rather than starting a Hate match between Christians and Witches, which I can guarentee I will not be doing with this Divine Comedy.
I think some of you have forgotton the "Harm Ye None and Do As Ye Wilt." Law.
:(
Here are a couple of links I think will go down a treat.
They are about Dante's Inferno which is an Italian Divine Comedy. It might give some of you some insite as to what a Divine Comedy consists of.

I believe that heaven is our own paradise. Aside from traditional religion, we all worship a higher entity (or more) and thats the importance. It is only the bible thumpers who believe that their God is the only God and in order to get into heave you must believe. it is said that God has 72 names. I take that as meaning that religion is a structure of beliefs and not a set of beliefs. I consider myself a christian but not in traditional terms as i have many different beliefs, many of which do not coincide with traditional, radical, conventional, or organized religion. I was "catholic" until our "father" stated that we could pay him to pray our loved ones out of pugatory. go figure. His God takes cash, checks, money orders or major credit cards!

nope. no armegeddon.
Jesus and satan mass thier forces, talk some sh*t, and then call a summit meeting, moderated by hindus.
peace is declared, the ten commandments are knocked down to 5 as part of a comprimise, and everybody becomes vegitarian (must be the hindu influence). Jesus and Satan retire to New Orleans to Party for a thousand years.
Jerry Falwell's head explodes in confusion, while millions of die hard fundies spend a few days jumping up and down trying to get into heaven.
Meanwhile, the pope quits his day job and founds the Church of the Great anti climax, which immediatly overshadows all of the world religions.
Pagans, for thier part, watch it all on CNN, scratch thier heads and let out a collective "Huh, how bout that." Then they finish thier coffee and go to work.

Not to pick nits or anything, but I was always taught that the word pagan came from the Latin - Paganus, mean country-dweller. Similiar to our "red-neck".

I'm not sure if this belongs in this thread, but Wyrdsister got a kick out of it, so here it goes...
Blessings all!
I was just sitting here a few moments ago, chatting with Wyrdsister online when i got a knock at the door. Now, being only 10:30 in the morning on holidays, I wasn't exactly dressed for the occasion of answering the door, but I was fully covered, so I answered it. There in front of me were two Jehovah's Witnesses....my first thought was "oh goodie, fundies at this hour of the morning*. So without letting them get a word in edgewise, I told them "Thank you, but I'm not interested in being saved by you. I am a wiccan and already have a place assured to me in the Summerlands" and started to shut the door...they were TRYING to make their way across my threshold, but I wouldn't allow it. When they finally realized (after I showed them my pentacle, telling them I was wiccan) that I wasn't a good enough target for their hellfire and damnation speeches, they turned on their heels and started to walk away. As I closed the door, I heard one of them say "Pfft, she's damned anyway", but what THEY heard as the door closed was me laughing my @$$ off!!!

I think that countray to, what seems to be, popular beilef, Armageddon is NOT a Christian concept. Most faiths have something about the end of the world .... using Norse as an example. The World Snake or Fenris, can't remeber which, sorry, swallow the sun .... sounds Armegedonny.
And if you take it to mean the end of the world, then scientists say that it WILL happen ... in about 5 billion years, less something goes and demolishes the earth.
If you take it to mean the end of the human race .... which seems selfish to me ... than who knows?

We don't have a a destruction myth per se.We discordians are to prevent THEM from Immanentizing the Eschaton.(preventing the end of the world).
So more then likely,it will be the
discordians bringing out all the secret weaponry we've been developing
(just in case the "Stars Become Right",and the Lovecraftian Outer Gods return)
through out the years and doing everything we can to prevent something as destructful to our planet as an Armegeddon or a Ragnorrak.
We've already prevented the Xists from arriving on earth on their Pleasure Spaceships and destroying everything with their death rays on X-Day(July 5th 1998,the Sub-genii still haven't forgiven us for that).
We've been working with our Vatican agents in Opus Dei developing technolgy to take out the Anti-Christ should he/she be stupid enough to show up.

I would say everyone dies. No one is saved from anything. and the planet goes on as it always does when this happens to a species that too full of it self. End of the current game. Start a new one with new pieces... another species gets a chance to be top of the chain and see what it can do. The game has been played for as long as the planet has existed. Its a very old game billions of years in length... all can play even those involved in other games on other planets. The rules are undefined. The goal is simple. And yet no one has stepped forward as a winner. Becuase if you win you go on to other games and the new players rarely get to meet the old players of the previous games. Fossils... UFOs... Ghosts... spirits and such. Some old players and some current players. Which is which is for you to find out before the game is reset and you become by default an old player of a past game and not by your choice. Good luck fellow players in this current game.:wave:

we employ the demons, fix up earth, and enjoy life.
meanwhile, those who got sucked up by armageddon see what a good time we're having and wanna come back. but they can't.

I'm working on a Divine Comedy at the moment and in order to get a good view of the Pagan view, other than my own (of course), I'd like to hear what all of you think. If your gonna bad mouth this top, then don't read any further because this is for a writers compertition that I'll be enterying and I don't need the childish banter about my project. To everyone else, have fun and enjoy my poll, feel free to make any comments and if you don't want to be too serious because after all, I am writing a Divine Comedy. Enjoy.
So what happens to those of us who aren't of the Christian Faith?
What happens to us?
I think religious fables are metaphors for spiritual evolution written in the context of the times they were written in. So Armageddon is a state of mind where the schism that naturally exists inside us becomes more active and you get a war in your head. Eventually, if the person is wise enough and skilled enough, i.e. righteous, they will unify the two sides and cancel them out with each other and experience unity of the self and an orgasm of understanding, a rapture. Or they will screw it up and end up with a worse state of mind, going to hell.
It's just a metaphor for the standard death/rebirth experience.

I know where I was WHEN Armeggedon happened! I was in the theatre with my mega sized popcorn and horse-trough sized Mountain Dew and then she was like DADDY I LOVE YOU and hes said like I KNOW or something and then Areosmith started singing (I could stay awake, just to hear you screamin..or somethin..) and I was like tearing up cuz Liv Tyler is such a hotty and I was like I COULD BE THERE COMFORTING YOU RIGHT NOW BABY, cuz her boyfriend was in space crying NO JACK NO! or whatever his name was and I was like YOU PUSS, LET THE OLD MAN DIE! and Tesra was squeezing my hand and we both shared this moment, but really all I could think of was that scene from Dr Strangelove where Slim Pickens rides the bomb into the ground and what that wouldve been like ridin that big meteor into earth, like surfin with the alien or something...wait I have to go, there some men in white coats at my door...

We, the non-Christain are said to be left behind, and that the earth is turned over to Satan. I have a problem with this because if you read the Bible, the earth is already satans. He took Christ to the top of a mountain and told him if he knelt down and worshipped him he would give him this :wave: world.

I voted the 'demons give us employment' hehe cause there wasn't an 'other'.
I don't believe the end of the world will come in one big bang nor do I believe that Christians are the only ones who will be 'saved'.
I think if the world ends, we're all going down...these things don't discriminate. :)
As to what will happen to us after we die..just in general, well I think we'll all get what each of us deserve. I believe if you've lived a good life or tried to (that includes learning to make amends for your deeds, everyone makes mistake) you'll find something good on the other side.
I don't know for sure though, when I pass I'll try to send someone a message and let you guys know how it is. :)

I think the demons will give us employment, which is probably better than how some of us are living now. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find decent work now a days.
