You mean you didn't read the *Wololooo* encyclical?

Umm, can I know why you hate paganists so much?

Because they are LARPing atheists who couldn't care less about any noble seeking of the divine truth

So they pretend they believe a bunch of nonsense for "le EPIC aesthetics xD"

Epic aethetics is half the reason anyone believes in anything

Beauty is a divine attribute and a signifier of underlying Truth

@Kike of Kaifeng join me and i will complete your training

Boar luring is the path to the dank side

Boar luring leads to micro

Micro leads yo macro

Macro leads to build orders

Build orders lead to rushing

Rushing leads to epic games

And epic games are dank

Aesthetics can be the reason why something catches your eye, but aesthetics do not really create any trust in religios assertions

In most people they do

Beauty is not an element in itself, it is the harmony and unity between the other elements

People understand this even if subconsciously

Something which is aethetically pleasing carries with it deep implications about what it is and the kind of people who made it/use it

You are giving far too much importance to aesthetics

You can't determine what is true through aesthetics

People who determine what is true or not depending on whether they like some shapes or not as fools that don't really beleive in anything, and their beliefs will crumble the second you put them to the test

It is the profound that should influence the profane, not the other way around.

Which in this case would be divine Truth inspiring aesthetics.

I mean, we can be led through awe to the recognition of the involvement of a higher truth. But these LARPagans just say "lol RUNES n' VIKANGZ n' stuff"

I'm inclined to believe that you're now asking the Socratic question of "is that which is Holy loved by the Gods because it is holy, or is it Holy because it is loved by the Gods?"

@Mozalbete ⳩ "OMG these chauntings are so good I wish I could chaunt like that" *becomes Catholic and starts LARPing*
Give me a better example

That is a fine example of fragile beliefs

glad you get it

But there are actual paganists who are serious about it

So what?

Lmao

Where are the pagan apologetics?

And the pagan debates?

And the pagan missionaries?

I don't know

Of course you don't, because there aren't any

You can see christians, or muslims, going to debates defending their beliefs, or being tortured for them, or doing their best to spread them worldwide as what they dentify as the truth

Becaus for exmaple, even is islam is false, people do take it seriously

The same can't be said of LARPagans, who just take their LARPing seriously, or many religions in Asia, which are just a cultural ornament

The most "serious" face of LARPaganism would be some edgy bearded manchild who just hates Christianity
