As in "uncultured or uncivilized person" dictionary.com
In what ways are you a heathen?
I am one because:
1. I shower daily but only wash my hair two or three times a week at the recommendation of my hairdresser. 2. I regularly wear a pair of 15 year old pants 3. Prior to getting a full round of check ups this year I hadn't gone to the doctor for 5 years (went to the dentist, so not a total heathen). 4. I like to eat in my car 6. I have breakfast dessert
And you?

I smoke, I drink, I swear, I make funny faces at little kids, don't go out of my way to treat ladies like ladies, never graduated college, or high school for that matter, and I occasionally fart and scratch in public. I'm sure that's not the complete list either.

Oh, if we are going to talk about my personality, I have worse traits, but they don't make me a heathen, they just make me a bitch. You can be a bitch and not a heathen. I happen to be both, but I didn't start this thread to talk about my bitchy side, but my heathen side.

From the OED:
Definition of heathen noun chiefly derogatory
- a person who does not belong to a widely held religion (especially one who is not a Christian, Jew, or Muslim) as regarded by those who do: my brother and I were raised, as my grandma puts it, as heathens (as plural noun the heathen) a chance of salvation for the heathen - a follower of a polytheistic religion; a pagan. - informal a person regarded as lacking culture or moral principles: eat your chips, you little heathen!
I have to admit, I expected a confession about either (lack of) religion or culture, but not one about personal hygiene.
I wash my hair every other day too. But that doesn't make me a heathen!

I have culture coming out my ass, so I am not anywhere close to being a heathen. Whatever culture I had has been negated by all of the time I have spent in the last couple of years watching The Real Housewives.

Come on, you have worse traits then those . You started the thread, fess up to something heathenish. I actually did think of something better on my way home. Earlier this week I got a cup of coffee at work and noticed something black floating in my cup. When I pulled it out and saw it was a dead ant, I just flicked the bug in the trash and drank my coffee because I was too lazy and heathenish to get a fresh cup.

I shower every other day, wash my hair 2 (sometimes 3) times a week, don't feed my child an organic diet, and I really am a pagan.

I get to meet both definitions! As for dictionary's definition, I have no clue what silverware to use with what course, I wear old clothes (sometimes even with stains!). I will go out to my front yard/street in my pajamas, have been to Starbucks in my pajamas with no hair or teeth brushed yet (It was a little early for me to be mentally functioning), I like to play in dirt, I have a dirty mouth, and I'm sure I'm missing a few things... Per the second definition, I am an atheist. My Catholic grandmother likes to remind me I'm a heathen on occasion (The "good" catholic who has engaged in adultery and a few other things I'm sure are sins... I love the woman but when she starts the atheist bashing... )

I am a heathan because:
1. I'm 60 y.o. and I don't give a sheet.
2. I decided that I am going to wear blue jeans to work every day that I'm in the office ( which is two days a week ) because I'm going to retire a few years, I don't want to be promoted, and I think they're more comfortable to wear.
3. I am not thin.
4. I announce my birthday in this forum, which I have been informed by PHoenix is tacky.
5. I am an electic pagoCatholic.
6. I like gem shows.
7. I like Futurama, which has religions such as Oprahism, the Robot Church ( and the Robot Devil ), and the Space Pope, all of which are hilarious.
8. I sometimes tell people exactly what I think, and other times, need to conceal what I'm thinking, because, boy, I'm thinking some bad thoughts.
9. I don't like society parties.
10. I am a liberal Democrat, and enjoy science fiction.
One fact, though, is that no matter how much of a heathen I am, or ever become, I will never be as low as any of the Real Housewives, excepting Nene, whom I like.

Sometimes I trash dig looking for dead ants to eat. about this and Phoenix telling Nazgul that announcing her b-day is tacky. I think Pheonix is great, but that is some funny stuff.

I'm an atheist and will always choose comfortable shoes over "cute" shoes.
Also, I think I have a crush on Nasgul. Although her handle should have been a clue.

I love you too, susanb & quince. Since nobody said I could be part of their harem, you two can be part of mine. Or, we can just go out for lunch and then for a walk through a nice park afterwards. Whichever works out best.

I'm an atheist, I drink to excess at parties, I moved in with now-DH before he filed for divorce. Oh and I'm an ex-Mormon, they are still always trying to get me to come back, so when I see two young guys in white shirts and black pants at the door I pretend no one is home

Oh man I am heathen through and through.
I drink, A LOT. I swear...A LOT...I eat A LOT! I flip people off when I drive. I give the sign of "you have no balls and your wife is cheating on you" to Italian men drivers even though I know it is now illegal to do so. I believe in the 5 second rule 99% of the time. I try to steal Loopi from Dark almost on a daily basis...I have a large harem and I am always accepting new harem recruits. I am agnostic/athiest/Buddhist at times (hell I have no clue I just know I am no Christian).
Uhm...I have many many more heathen traits.

Mid, I'm sending two guys in white shirts and black pants over to your house RIGHT now. What gets me about the Mormon missionary program is that they send out these polite, well meaning eighteen year olds who are supposed to explain The Meaning of Life to me. Who has ever known an eighteen year old who understands The Meaning of Life ?

I want to know how to make the sign of "you have no balls and your wife is cheating on you" . Somehow, this essential part of my education is lacking. Why is making that sign against the law ?

Nasgul! Oh...My husband and I also bought our house together before we even intended to get married. And we're currently negotiating me cutting back on the cussing once our child is born. I'm resistant.

It was recently passed in the Italian Supreme court that you cannot tell a man here that he has no balls. LOL!
Basically the hand symbol is just the rock and roll horn symbol. It means your wife is cheating on you here. They usually will say "non ha le palle" (no balls) when they do it. Thus I call it the "you have no balls and your wife is cheating on you" sign.
