Polytheism says lots of gods exist. None have to negate another.

When only Christians matter, even though there's nothing in the constitution that says you have to be a Christian to be a citizen.
It reflects a part of my spiritual practice.
Artemis seems more feminist or perhaps asexual than queer in that respect. Skaldi is the Norse "equivalent" but her stories reflect she's straight. Wonder why its assumed she's queer?
In some practices mirrors can expand energy or lower it. I don't care much for them as decoration. I have one over the bathroom sink and thats it.
Not sure AI has intent.
To think the creator of the entire universe would have wants would make it definitely below the rest of us.
Look up the Greek katabasis. Everything about Jesus is based on Greek culture/ mythology.
Well, there's one more reason to find the God of Abraham to be lacking. Can't controll the demons.
Sex is not either procreation and recreation. Unless you think rape, molestation and prostitution don't exist. Which might be the case here.
The stuff that gets posted here. 🙄
Satan and Lucifer are two different entities. No entity was associated with the serpent in the Garden until Revelations was written a long time later.
I dont believe in free will. Freedom, yes, free will, no.
When you look at the modern Wheel of the Year in paganism, February 2nd marks an important day in the calendar as far as planting and gardening. In the Celtic tradition it's called Imbolic. The holiday focuses on Bridgid and her eternal flame. It's a time of year when fireplaces are cleaned and lit to mark the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. When the Germans came over to Pennsylvania, this was the time of year when they began looking to the first animals that came out of hibernation to see whether or not better weather would come earlier or later. In Germany this was the badger. In the states it's the groundhog. Now, a pretty popular holiday and movie there is a pagan root in the holiday and it is one that I actually engage in.I don't do all the holidays on the wheel but this one is one of my favorites. For one, it focuses on Frau Holda/ Holle who I have honored , in some way , for 15 years. And two, it's a nice break in the dullness of winter what's right now is even more overbearing because of the awful weather. It's basically marked, for me, with a meal and offerings. One year I actually went so far to make a butzemann, a large poppet you make to serve as a helper on your farm that contains a land spirit. My neighbor has a groundhog under his shed, so I often at this time of year , begin looking for her to come out and start rooting around. Considering the weather right now, I doubt they'll be coming out anytime soon.But once you see them , you know that the weather we'll be staying good enough that they're eating and not continuing to hibernate.
Convert or die. The God of Abraham forbids human sacrifice and he punishes beings that have sex with humans then, he impregnates a young girl so her child can be sacrificed. There's absolutely nothing about the story of Christ that refer back to the Old Testament.
Christianity offers a variety to keep the most members. Quantity versus quality.
Nothing in Christianity is Torah based and most elements can be found in Greco-Roman polytheism. The most notable is higher beings mating with humans is strictly forbidden but it was ok to get Mary pregnant to give birth to the son of God? Demigods are a staple of Roman mythology. That alone shows it's not a Judeo based faith and therefore a complete lie.
Happy Holidays
If you want to engage in sexual acts with an animal that you know cannot consent then, I would suspect you would have sex with anyone that could not consent.
No. I know exactly what i'm talking about.
That's because you're a moron.And because it doesn't say that it's not illegal or there's a specific law that says it's illegal that it's legal. I worked for probation in West Virginia for fifteen years. People have gone to jail and gotten parole or probation for that particular offense
It's not legal. It doesn't have its own ban. It's prosecuted under animal abuse. I'm sure you both think you're real funny.
Certain gods may have had taboos.Things you are not allowed to eat or do when you were working with them. It's kind of hard to have a sin in the eyes of the gods.When there is fifteen of them, and they each might have different rules.
Sin is a monotheistic concept. Most pagan, religions work on a chaos/ order dynamic. Most roles on marriage/ sex in pagan cultures are more a matter of the culture, than the religion.
Nowhere in Abrahamic texts, does god ever lower himself to have sex with or become a human being. Demigods are a pagan, Greco-Roman concept. Christianity is Rome adapting a religion to secure the region, because war was no longer doing it.
My law on Earth would you think Satan has the power to destroy the world? He wasn't even allowed to tempt Job without permission.
Cause I know the context in which it happened. I know i'm not lying about details. This is why I don't use any sort of substances when engaged in spiritual practices. There have also been situations where things have happened or where beings have appeared and I have no idea who they are. I actually have to research to figure it out.
By personal experience, I mean, things that have happened during meditations, prayer, shamanic ritual. And that's true for any being i've encountered, whether it's a deity or angels or other spirits.
Well, i'm never going to be a monotheist. So I can't hit rock bottom.
How can it be based off of Judism when it when it condemns the law?
