Dialectical materialism, is, according to its adherents, either a science or a philosophy, in either case of which it is amenable to being criticized on the level of other forms of rational discourse rather than on the level of religion, where ethnicity, culture, forms of life, and emotions are tightly wound up with assertions.

OK but I was more talking about the other 7.

Odradek

Oh, well I think they are cool and aesthetically pleasing, and I have engaged in them for fun myself.

I don't hate fortune telling.

No it's the fortune-telling kind.

Grandma has always told me that calling them "tarot cards" in any case is improper, and she's a student of one of the most widely-followed witches in North America so I'm inclined to believe her.

None of that is a joke, she's a Wiccan.
