Pagans

[Sovereign]

As an antitheist, I find the fanatical wahhabism of the Taliban to be more appealing than Paganism.

You know, clearly, no matter what religion you are, in some way or another, we all wish to use and believe in the force.

 

[Sovereign]

The new Neopaganism seems more like a fad -- not to insult anyone's beliefs but, from an outsider-looking-in, today's neopagans are just anti-establishment Christians

It is a fad, which is why all of their so-called believers are bourgeois teenagers with a profound sense of ennui. Their whole belief system is simply devoid of any real meaning. At least the Taliban are sincere in their faith. Their hatred of the west and their fanatical devotion to Islam is as real and as honest as it gets. Pagans, on the other hand, are religious consumerists. They see religion like any other product of our capitalistic system. For them, claiming adherence to Paganism is tantamount to buying in a brand like Apple or Starbucks.

Ah, now I see how these things turn into fights.

Yes....because I am so much worse then someone who is willing to kill thousands of innocents. You say the most retarded and jackass things sometimes you know that?

I'm sorry, but the Taliban are far more interesting as a movement than teenagers with emotional issues.

Well I don't recall us asking you to be interested in us.......actually...I would like you to leave us alone entirely.....SO GOOD DAY SIR!

 

[Sovereign]

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. Paganism doesn't share the more pernicious aspects of Islam and Christianity, so I won't actually bother to argue with you. It simply deserves to be mocked.

Not going to lie, I honestly think Niner and Sheo are just bandwagon jumping. This is literally no reason they should have gone from:

no god at all and staunch athiest -> weekly attending church Catholic -> Pagan

or

Staunch Catholic -> agnostic/athiest? -> Pagan

In a two month window. No way.

You are becoming offensive. I'd turn the heat down.

And everyone thought you were bandwagon jumping when you said you were gay......

Thing is, I like men. And it is normal for those of the LGBT community to conceal themselves. Once I saw others on here did so and nothing bad was said, I did the same.

That said, there is literally nothing out there that should legitimately draw someone into Paganism. Especially people like you and Sheo who were pretty much extremists in your Catholicism and atheism, respectively.

I'm not sure calling anyone an extremist within the confines of religion can be done in a respective manner.

You just realized? :CStern

It was just a metaphor to describe how deeply convinced and entwined they were with their now former worldviews.

A pretty bad metaphor, IMO.

I lost my christianity over the course of about a year. And no matter what you may believe I felt a strong pull towards the gods of Asatruism.........and that's my belief. So I would like it if you wouldn't insult me further. Same for Sheo.

 

[Wing]

A pretty bad metaphor.

I've been knowing these two here for years, and I am basing this off of what they have posted in the years. Besides, you should know by now what I've said is not much of a stretch. I'd appreciate it if you stopped talking to me and replying to my posts. Kthnx.
