any false religion is pagan, pagan is jsut an umbrella term
Paganism is very specific to Europe
yes falun gong and falun dafa are pagan, moreso the new age pagan stuff
Well yeah if you're a moron
no, pagan is jsut a term that means any religion that is not the true religion, which is Christianity
"Me too stupid to differentiate between non-Christian religions so call everything paganism"
indeed taken from the term paganus, the sacred hills the European pagans of Hellenism used to worship the daimons on
"Hurr durr Thor is totally the same as Hanuman"
well Thor is a false god just liek Hanuman
Greek paganism is different from Norse paganism
Which is different from Germanic or Irish paganism
Thor though is in the later germanic pagan religion sometimes today caleld Odinism (essentialyl norse mythology) while Hanuman is a false god in hinduism
Different myths, different false idols
It's okay
correct all pagan religions have their nuanced differences, but they are also all the same in that they are false religions, they do not worship the True God, and in many instances worship demonic entities
If you're too retarded to know the difference between European and non-European non-Christian religion I doubt explaining the differences will be of much use
their differences are mostly racially based since the old order of pagan religions formed on a racial basis when the early fatherso f the races forgot about the True God when they spread throughout earth, with of course only Jacob/Israel of all the races remembering the True God
"Hurr durr Native Americans are pagans "
yes the native americans were indeed pagans
"Because us wypipo say so"
"We don't need to learn other languages and respect their unique differences"
mostly early on
"Us wypipo says everything not Christian is pagan so therefore now you're all pagans"
lol again pagan is just an umbrella term, in a neutral sense, it's any false religion
"Hurr durr me too dumb to conceive too many words. Use one word for many different things as all the same"
ie: atheism, islam, hinduism, buddhism, hellenism, shinto, voodoo, odinism, etc. are all pagan religions
"Everything not McDonald's is Barger Kangz by default"
"Man I don't want to think! Learning different names for restaurants is hard n sheeit!"
-wypipo japeth
no a better analogy would be McDonald's and Burger King have different fast food menu items, but they're still in the umbrella of fast food corporations
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/heathen
"The definition and etymology of heathen overlap with those of pagan: both words denote “an unconverted member of a people or nation that does not acknowledge the God of the Bible,” and heathen, like pagan, is believed to have come from the term for a country inhabitant, or in this case, a "heath dweller."
Both words have developed broader and pejorative meanings over time, with pagan being used to mean “an irreligious or hedonistic person” and heathen “uncivilized” or “strange,” but their original meanings are still in use."
Ah yes
More tardation
well it's just what the word means
"We carried this word to continents with people who didn't speak our language but they all identify as the word because we said so"
-wypipo japeth
no, those people are pagans because they believe in the false religions, they do not accept the True God
ie: the aztecs believed in numerous demonic entities and worshipped them, hence the aztecs were pagans
pagans worship trees
yea some do
