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

Look at it in context of what ran through the Greeks before Christianity. Orphism there rejected the polis of gods and humans as well as the celebration of the good life. This brought changes in basic religious ceremony where before you saw wooden dicks being a core artifact that represented the fertility and delight of the gods and men. Afterwards you saw intellectuals feel discomfort by uttering excuses of abstract progenitive power to justify that tradition with which they were already uncomfortable. So whatever made it from the Greeks to Christianity was already of the sensibility I was talking about. Paganism was basically dead.

A WRITTEN, CLEAR RELIGION IS A BETTER TECHNOLOGY THAN AN UNWRITTEN ONE THAT REQUIRES GENIUSES TO INTERPRET
