the truth is the truth, you can't go back to the pagan mindset
an attempt to do so would be false, and LARPing
whereas christianity is right there in your hands
The truth is the truth
Chrsitianity isn't it
we'll have to agree to disagree
but certainly europe has lost all connection with a pagan past
its not something recoverable, because even the way they saw the world was different
even if you go back to worshipping odin or something
The ideal of knighthood was quite pagan, in a Christian shell
The holy grail is a lot like the Gole
why do you see it like that
as an imposition
rather than a european christianity
Because the core of Christianity does not have that
so what? what is the core of paganism?
there is no such thing really
europeans had european values, they became christian, their european values became christianized
when they were pagan, they were pagan-ized
when they become ba'hai in the future, perhaps similar will happen
Christianity would never emerge naturally from Europeans. They should have what is natural to them, as you should have what is natural toy ou
"what is natural to them" is fallacious
it happened, you are the product of it
its natural
Unfortunately, it is not an empty canvas that European ideals can be painted upon
It is ill equipped to nourish the European soul.
that's a metaphysical argument, I can't say anything against it
except that I disagree
a lot
my ancestors were hindus, I like some things about hinduism, but I can't ignore generations of development in the islamic context either
this is besides the fact of my belief in the truth of the faith
even if I became an apostate
I would still be a muslim in a sense
its not something I can divest myself of
And I can never be anything but pagan
but you aren't pagan
maybe something new
that you call pagan
more accurately I'd say that kind of mindset is simply anti-christian
neopagan is probably the best term
