Inventions To Thank Pagans For

The making of beer used to be part of the household and thus the province of the woman.

It is worth noting that the quality of beer suffered greatly when men took over it's creation

Please, let's don't turn this into a debate about who has done the most harm or good in the world. I want this to stay positive and not devolve into any nasty bickering.

Well, with the micro-brew movement, they have redeemed themselves a bit

I forget who I am quoting, but it went something like this:

When men took over the making of beer, they treated it as simple chemistry that could be quantified. And the beer suffered for this. It is only when they returned to the primal understanding of the women who once crafted the beer, and understood that the making of the beer is an art that they crafted something worth drinking.

Or, to quote myself.

'Dude, put that dang calculator away and relax, the yeast knows what it's doing'.

I believe that it goes back to the Halloween thread, where someone posted "they don't participate in anything pagan". Could be wrong but it would be the same as someone saying they don't participate in anything black/white/hispanic/etc, and then someone started a subesquent thread of "inventions to thank black/white/hispanic/etc for". Or it could simply be a strange coincident that I drew a line of connection between. LOL

Nowadays, so many things have multiple meanings or history, it's nearly impossible to participate in anything pagan or non-pagan. Take Christmas for example, it has so many meanings to so many different people, it all boils down to what you celebrate it for. I and my family are Christians, but we participate in Christmas trees. It's simply what you believe and why you believe it. Same thing with Easter, we paint eggs and gift Easter bunnies, we celebrate it as the day Christ rose, but still participate in practices that have bases in pagan belief.
