Similar problems may beset them this time when they attempt to pray for international peace at the ruins of the Temple of Zeus.

"Oh no! THey are going to pray for peace! They must be stopped!"

The president of the Association of Greek Clergymen, Father Efstathios Kollas, has described the followers of the Olympic gods as a handful of miserable resuscitators of a degenerate dead religion who wish to return to the monstrous dark delusions of the past.

I'm going to have to buy a new Irony metre. Mine just exploded.

Ms Peppa and her followers aspire to have the rights afforded to Britain's druids who worship at Stonehenge, and Danish believers in Thor and the Nordic gods who are allowed to perform marriages, baptisms and funerals.

And why shouldn't they have this?
 
I was reading something by Sam Harris recently (a rather loud anti-religionist). Like many atheists he tried to make the point that to us belief in the Bible God makes as little sense as belief in Poseidon. But then he got nasty mail from POSEIDONISTS!! He was like wow, these people exist? Indeed they do!
