I gotta say paganism is a lot more interesting
You get nothing productive done and you destroy yourself mentally and physically very quickly
Which forms of paganism?
Like Northern European like Norse paganism or like a little more southern
like early germanic and gallic stuff?
Well my family has practiced Celtic paganism for the past five generations
So that’s my favourite
Oh cool, druidic stuff it is
Well we practiced it longer than that but we weren’t allowed to talk about it
Bc of Christianity
I’m a little bitter
athiests are religious.
Ok
In a way yeah, religion is a very vague term
Athiesm can be extremely dogmatic
Especially the hardliners
Gnostic Athiests are worse than gnostic theists
Yeah kinda
Tbh I think if you’re gonna be religious at least be a fun religion
Idk some people want a religion that aligns with what they believe
Well not all pagan traditions are like
Sacrificial or violent
Mostly it’s just getting drunk and dancing around bonfires
Or rituals surrounding early science and metaphysics
like building weirdly accurate calenders
And dragging huge ass rocks halfway across britain for some random ass reason
Most stones in Ireland came all the way from Africa
The ones used in the formations I mean
Some of them yeah, its weird what geological tracing reveals about these monuments because it never answers any questions, it just reveals crazy weird shit
Yeah lol
I mean the way I'd describe myself is agnostic with pseudochristian morals
I mean that’s why I think paganism is more interesting than Christianity
There’s more of an air of mystery to it
To me personally it feels closer than Christianity if that makes sense
Yeah I get that
But Christian monuments are so fucking complex, like it boggles my mind that so much artistry and craftsmanship went into making a cathedral with totally perfect acoustics for singing a specific kind of song with a lot people
At least when they're not being stolen by Islam that is...
Well pagan monuments are complex in their own ways
For sure
Like the ancient tombs in Ireland have short opening that line up perfectly with the setting sun on the winter solstice
