there were heresies before 380
and no, that isnt what pagan means
Polytheism (from Greek πολυθεϊσμός, polytheismos) is the worship of or belief in multiple deities,
"While most pagan religions express a world view that is pantheistic, polytheistic or animistic, there are some monotheistic pagans"
can you please read your sources before you post them
The Last Pagans of Rome
only source for that is rome, a pagan religion
dude, the source you posted, says that the definition of pagan isnt, that they are polytheistic
the sources I quoted describe what pagan is
yes
the only source that is calling pagan monotheism is rome
and in it, it says "While most pagan religions express a world view that is pantheistic, polytheistic or animistic, there are some monotheistic pagans"
rome is running around calling monotheism like jewish religion a pagan religion
https://books.google.com/books?id=NHgvpINWV_QC I looked at the source of that
there was monotheism in egypt, for a brief time

kevin, i dont care what rome called pagan. i am talking about now
well, not everyone agrees
you can have religions that are designed to not get along with other religions, so they consider anything that isn't their religion paganism
so you dont think a religion practiced in ancient egypt is a pagan religion
pretty much all jewish people believe that if you are worshipping more than one deity you are pagan
monotheism or your pagan
and christians are worshipping more than one deity
so if am worship Aten i am not a pagan
Aten?
yes, aten
actually if you worship false idols that is also pagan
you worship a blade a grass and call it god, that is pagan
ooo, so adding in extra definitions now
yea, I'm not sure what Aten is, but you cannot just go around worshipping nonsense and consider that okay
*who
there are lots of pagan religions out there
Aten is a name
people will worship cows and their droppings
its holy shit
well i guess you can keep your stupid and limiting definitions
well, you are right
