pagan is worshipping more than one GOD

2018-10-11 22:12:12 UTC  

there were heresies before 380

2018-10-11 22:12:21 UTC  

and no, that isnt what pagan means

2018-10-11 22:13:10 UTC  

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"

2018-10-11 22:13:29 UTC  

can you please read your sources before you post them

2018-10-11 22:16:47 UTC  

The Last Pagans of Rome

2018-10-11 22:17:12 UTC  

only source for that is rome, a pagan religion

2018-10-11 22:17:31 UTC  

dude, the source you posted, says that the definition of pagan isnt, that they are polytheistic

2018-10-11 22:18:05 UTC  

the sources I quoted describe what pagan is

2018-10-11 22:18:09 UTC  

yes

2018-10-11 22:18:21 UTC  

the only source that is calling pagan monotheism is rome

2018-10-11 22:18:24 UTC  

and in it, it says "While most pagan religions express a world view that is pantheistic, polytheistic or animistic, there are some monotheistic pagans"

2018-10-11 22:18:41 UTC  

rome is running around calling monotheism like jewish religion a pagan religion

2018-10-11 22:19:21 UTC  

https://books.google.com/books?id=NHgvpINWV_QC I looked at the source of that

2018-10-11 22:19:44 UTC

kevin, i dont care what rome called pagan. i am talking about now

2018-10-11 22:20:42 UTC  

there are religions people call pagan, that arent polythesitic

2018-10-11 22:21:17 UTC  

well, not everyone agrees

2018-10-11 22:22:11 UTC  

you can have religions that are designed to not get along with other religions, so they consider anything that isn't their religion paganism

2018-10-11 22:22:21 UTC  

so you dont think a religion practiced in ancient egypt is a pagan religion

2018-10-11 22:22:41 UTC  

pretty much all jewish people believe that if you are worshipping more than one deity you are pagan

2018-10-11 22:22:52 UTC  

monotheism or your pagan

2018-10-11 22:23:07 UTC  

and christians are worshipping more than one deity

2018-10-11 22:23:21 UTC  

so if am worship Aten i am not a pagan

2018-10-11 22:23:32 UTC  

Aten?

2018-10-11 22:23:44 UTC  

yes, aten

2018-10-11 22:23:47 UTC  

actually if you worship false idols that is also pagan

2018-10-11 22:24:07 UTC  

you worship a blade a grass and call it god, that is pagan

2018-10-11 22:24:08 UTC  

ooo, so adding in extra definitions now

2018-10-11 22:24:52 UTC  

yea, I'm not sure what Aten is, but you cannot just go around worshipping nonsense and consider that okay

2018-10-11 22:25:02 UTC  

*who

2018-10-11 22:25:09 UTC

2018-10-11 22:25:10 UTC
