One religion for thee and another for me
And you are speaking of how they pronounce it, Jesus came from Greek, in how it is pronounced, he never changed his name.
I may not know it all but I know more than enough to understand that it isn't a religion for those of European heritage
"iēsous" is the Greek version of Jesus
So ye
Because your ancestors were some kind of other pagan.
I'm not
Nordic paganism came directly from Germania
It's basically the same lmao
I'm Celto-Germanic
I hate the terminology of "Norse", "Celtic" "Greek" or "Roman" paganism, they were all as similar as different denominations of Christianity
Same gods, stories, everything
95% of modern pagans become Nordic Pagans, not those their ancestors would of been, like any kind of Mediterranean Pagan cultures, or Celtic pagan cultures.
All came from the original Allfather, Dyews Phter
Which was the proto-European religion
If I were to worship the Northern Gods then it would be like an Iranian worshipping the hindu gods
*From which pretty much literally every religion came from*
It's actually kind of strange because the Dyeus religion following proto-European peoples would also go on to create the first Abrahamic religions
So I suppose that is where Zoroastrianism cane from?
It's where everything came from, including Zoroastrianism, yes
Even Japanese Shinto has origin similarities
I love how all the people with Celtic or Mediterranean, or Slavic, etc ancestry become Nordic pagans to "return to tradition" when in reality they hated your guts and fought your ancestors in endless wars.
Ah, right. Just realised you did say proto
But I'm not lmao
Everything from Shinto to Hinduism to the Egyptian book of the dead, and obviously all European paganism
Did I say you in that whole paragraph?
I don't know a single Nordic pagan that isn't Nordic
Err
hmm
There's quite a few
I've never met ine is what I'm saying
🤷
Most I have met.
Either way, as an American following paganism is strange
All pagans I know irl and in the pagang servers practice their own ethnic religion
Are you talking about neopagans?
Because we hate them
A good friend of mine is like 90% Irish Celt, and follows Nordic paganism, it annoys me.
KKKringe
All modern paganism is neo-Paganism
