Even Christianity is the same, except without a pantheon of deities, only one deity exists. And he fills a role of a Jupiter, Zeus or Taranis.
The all-father, creator and ruler of all.
That's...
strange
calling the Christian god an Allfather
He is precisely that.
The all father, the only deity and creator of everything.
I guess in the new testament he *kind* of takes a roll similar to an allfather
err
An Allfather isn't exactly
that
Zeus was an Allfather
He was not the creator
And every European culture is intact. With their languages, customs and traditions. Only key thing missing is the epic fables and mythological creatures for children and storytellers. But they still exist then and now, only with different stories.
European culture is in shambles in the modern age
Yes, we don’t have illaids or sieges of Troy, no homer or Socrates, but atheism then was more rampant.
No, christianity is linear
Atheism under Christianity was almost eradicated.
most european paganism is a circle
And what is being propped up is definitely not being helped by the religion that provides a clear distinction between pacifism and cowardice
Not sure if that makes sense
Buddhism is pacifism, Christianity is Cowardice
But yeah odin hung on the tree and lived again
In paganism it’s good for rural agrarian societies. But not for big urban populations, which is why Christianity died in North Africa and failed to spread to Scandinavia early on.
Christianity is a urban religion.
Islam spread because of conquests, Christianity spread because of conquest
Neither are natural
Both are abhorrent
However, paganism didn’t die because of being inferior as a religion. It died because Christianity was a more enticing religion, it promised a singular way into heaven, a cleaner lifestyle and a similar code of morality. It was.. simpler.
Christianity didn’t murder all the pagans, the many converted willingly.
*Ignoring the fact that if Rome never existed, Christianity would've never taken off*
>willingly
"YOU CAN'T TRADE WITH PAGANS"
Thus the vikings began to raid
It was solely because of the powerbase that Rome gave Christianity
Many pagans converted willingly, because the saints talked and debated well, convincing many that Christianity was better.
Had Rome remained Pagan, you could easily say the same thing about paganism in parts of the world where it was not prevalent becoming prevalent
Saint Patrick was both good and bad.
Condemning ancient practices and rituals not even religious.
But debated very well.
Never forget that Rome was peak civnat
