THE POINT IS TO AVOID HUBRIS AND ACT IN ACCORD WITH ETERNAL NATURAL ORDER
THE DIVINE
TO PAGANS, THE WORLD AS A WHOLE IS NOT SINFUL, BUT CERTAIN ACTS WITHIN IT ARE ILLOGICAL BECAUSE THEY END IN RESULTS THAT OFFEND THE ORDER
THIS IS BETTER THAN THE PERSONAL-ONLY VIEW OF MASS RELIGION
BUT
CHRISTIANITY REPLACED PAGANISM FOR A REASON
THERE WAS THE HOPE THAT IT WOULD KEEP THE PROLES IN LINE
In other words, it was adopted by rulers as a political tool
It was never good for the soul
I THINK IT IS A MIXED BAG
AGAIN, IT IS MOSTLY PAGAN
ITS REAL PROBLEM IS THAT IT IS FOREIGN
Aids infected paganism
Why not have the pure real deal?
HEH!
IT DOES NOT WORK WITH CITIES
IN SMALL TOWNS, YOU HAVE RELIGIOUS LEADERS
PEOPLE CAN DIRECTLY EXPERIENCE
PAGANISM IS NOT WRITTEN DOWN
TO AVOID CORRUPTION
You're trying to use religion to counter the low herd, when its real purpose is to ascend those with potential
CHRISTIANITY IS, AND SO YOU CAN MASS-TRAIN PEOPLE TO APPLY IT ASSEMBLY-LINE STYLE
the low herd can not be made honourable by any religion
they don't understand any religion anyway
THIS IS TRUE, BUT I AM NOT TRYING TO CONTROL THEM
You're like a school that dumbs everything down so that no one will fail
I THINK WE SHOULD HONOR OUR CHRISTIAN TRADITION, BUT GET IT CLOSER TO ITS ANCIENT ROOTS
when you should be focusing on those with talent
THE JESUS OF THE BIBLE IS NOT THE ONE TAUGHT IN CHURCHES
IT IS A DUAL APPROACH
1. FOCUS ON THOSE WITH TALENT, THROUGH HIERARCHY
2. OPPRESS THE HERD
In Christianity, deeds are empty, faith is golden
This makes those inferior spiteful, rather than awe inspired, of the champions
Christianity offered a vision that so called paganism seems to have not
The champions succeed in the sinful world, but are not truly better
To say that it was adopted to simply keep order or whatever is a lie
In norse paganism, and I imagine other ones, the greatest ancestors are venerated for their deeds and virtues.
I DISAGREE THERE
IT WAS ADOPTED BECAUSE IT WAS EASIER TO COMMUNICATE
WHICH FIT WITH A GROWING CIVILIZATION
