@Snake At the moment, Christianity is fairly docile, but it wasn't even a generation ago that they were out in force, indoctrinating people to pray the gay away, warning that Harry Potter and Marylin Manson will lead you to hell.

I could see Christians in the Middle East or Africa doing that. Like in Nigeria Christians killed 130 Muslims, but to be fair that was retaliation for a attack the Muslims did to them which killed 13 Christians. The Christians were just more effective

Jewish mayor of Portland, Maine is flooding the city with more African migrants

I see the timeline has shifted again. Too bad this isn't one where Epstein was able to rat people out for a lesser sentence.

looking at modern society, the radical christians are largely ignored now

they arent an issue os long as they artent provoked

aka, forcing people to bake gay cakes

The thing to keep in mind about Islam is that it's 600 years younger than Christianity. I maintain that all ideologies have a bell curve lifespan of about 3000 years. Judaism began in 1500 BC and is all but a fringe. Islam today is what Christianity was in the Middle Ages: barbaric, superstitious, dogmatic, regressive, anti-science, even murderous and corrupt, until about the midpoint of its life in the Protestant Reformation. Since then, it's mellowed out a lot. Islam is nearing the point of its own Protestant Reformation and we're seeing it with people like Imam of Peace and Crown Prince Mohammad, trying to reform it

I’m 18 so maybe there is a disconnect with that since it’s not in recent memory for me, it’s not personal. But even then praying the gay away seems meh compared to the truck attacks, bombings, mass shootings, knife attacks and gang rapes today. Also 9/11, so my entire life it feels like we’ve been under threat from these guys, why would I want them to grow?

in the modern era, we have psychologists and technology and science to prove the literal minded christians to btfo

the only religions im concenred about is Islam and Envrionmentalits and SJWisms

one is barbaric, the other is misguided paganism, and the last is retardation pretending it isnt

Or want these people to have more power, influence and population in my country, America

the only threat from christians is if the freedom of religion is infringed on

I'm not saying it's comparable to acts of terror or throwing gays off buildings, but having lived through the Bush era, rational centrists and old school liberals feared the religious right the way they do the regressive left today.

and where are the religious right now?

anything about them can be ignored, they arent in substantial power to be critically threatening

Yeah I know, maybe it’s unfair of me to bring that up but I’m just explaining my point of view @Marushia Dark

we can easily ignore them

Paganism is hardly an issue. It's always been either decentralized, diffuse, or a minority. The last major pagan rule was arguably the Roman Empire

paganism reminds me of the 40k emperor

Scandinavian paganism has badass emblems

you can be pagans that worship the sun, they still act in accordance with how someone mighjt worship the emporer

so its chill

The cake wasn't about making the cake. The bakers refused to write what they wanted on it, saying they couldn't be forced to express that sentiment.

Still I think in the long run it’s better if civilization has a religion to keep it together

i think any of the title 9 laws or whatever it is that force people to accomodate people they dont like is stupid

especially now

I find it ironic, though, that pro-representation, pro-minority SJWs never lift a finger to help pagans like me, who genuinely have been a persecuted minority throughout history. Not a word in defense unless you're also Native American, and no push for better representation in pop culture. Not that I'm complaining. I'm taking up that cross myself but still ... hypocrisy is rampant and a contemptible trait.

if you reject black people from your service, prepare to be boycotted

Well are you European pagan?

I'm an astrotheologist

I've studied religions comparatively and find that the parts where they overlap tend to be true, with the rest being regional commentary or flavor

you worship planet space jesus

not really

SPACE

JESUS

come on

sounds cool

Well anyway, they tend to argue that Europeans were Africans back in the day so that’s how they would twist it

i get what you mean though im similar

That shit with cheddar man is a example

'god' is 'nature' and the rules are about living in the best accordance with nature to make things better

its 'spirit' based

They gave him the darkest skin tone that’s possible, so there was more possible skin tones and claims he was African

https://www.thecollegefix.com/public-university-tells-professors-not-to-grade-based-on-merit/

I think Futurama had the best take on God being a holistic consciousness of the entire universe that doesn't give a shit about human beings

correct

> Public university tells professors not to grade based on merit

the universe is built on a few rules, and some things happen as consequence of those rules, coincideing with other things too

@Snake Look up Michael Tsarion's "The Irish Origins of Civilization" as a counter theory

the thing with 'God' is that its a quick easy representation

whether its true or not isnt relevent

Sure why not

So you’re a Celtic pagan?

Not bad

id prefer to look at 'god' with lower case and interchange it with Nature essentially

Also the book "Sapiens" has an interesting theory on divergent human evolution. That the different races actually originate from different subspecies

but das racis

"So you’re a Celtic pagan?"

No, but I do have some books on Wicca and Celtic magic.

Come on I want to know

Coooome oooon dude

A primer on what I believe:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3i6UwVkP6M

SPACE JESUS

I KNEW ITY

Actually just finished writing a chapter in my book on Yule (the Winter Solstice)

Lol, sure, Boop. Whatever you wanna call it

I also think ancient aliens are plausible.

NECRONS

I dislike the idea of ancient aliens because that would mean we didn’t actually do all of this on our own.

i dont see these as alien influences

@Snake And how is that better than a belief in God or gods doing stuff for us?

common symbols among human beings are easily explainable

Yeah that’s true

Still a god is better you know

https://www.youtube.com/user/pageaujonathan/videos

that guys good for symbolism explainations

JBP talks about the same thingswith Hero stories

no need for aliens, people all over the world endured similar problems fundamentally

@Boop / 브파 / C'thUwU Certain symbols, structures, and practices appear to coexist in remote parts of the world that allegedly never had contact with each other until relatively recently. So it's either a highly coincidental form of convergent evolution, or it's deities or aliens who can transcend the limits of human mobility from that era.

its evolution

occums razor

like fear of snakes

or Hero myths

Problem with Occam's Razor is everyone thinks their version is the simplest.

aliens visiting earth

vs evolution

Uh well

i think evolution is pretty simplistic

without entertaining interplanetary visiting aliens

And the theist would say God doing it is pretty simple too

Yeah I do believe in divergent evolution but there will be consistency

or you could just say 'time travel' and thats just

bleh

Time doesn't exist
