20. During my time as a Pagan I ran into Asatru.

Most neopagans are pretty mellow get-along folks, but Asatru.... Weren't.

They imagined they were the descendants of viking warriors, with their nose in the air and everything. I ran an ecumenical bulletin board system before the world wide web took off, and there were two groups I had to watch closely - - evangelical bible thumpers, and snobby Asatru, for being aggressive, dismissive, and insulting to everyone else on my board. Especially each other. They were the Karen's of the neopagan set, before we knew to call them that.
