I have no idea how prevalent the God/Godess you reference is practiced in Paganism. But what I look for is not the outer form which is where your hanging out, but the inner side of things in how a religion is practiced by it's believers.
I am also talking about the inner workings of paganism which isn't necessarily obvious to many. Paganism is basically worshipping the natural instincts of humans and nature. The worship of sex can be expressed in modern ways that express pagan ideology. For example how Woke society worships sex and gender identity as a divine force that trumps all else even objective reality.
All the hallmarks of paganism are there, having to pay homage to identities and if one doesn't they are shamed and ostrisized. Abortion is a form of child sacrifice on the alter of individual freedom and choice. Society must pay tribute to these ideological beliefs in honor of the gods they create out of them.
We could take your own religion as an example. Here we have your God impregnating a 14 your old child.
In the practice by the believers it's a sacred act. Personally I go with the sacred. But if one were to focus only on the outer, which is what your doing, your God might sound pretty questionable because of that act.
Actually I think your focusing on the outer by attributing what happened to modern day conventions and moralizing it. Your looking at the outside and not what the spiritual aspect represents.
The truth is we don't know how old Mary was. Mant say around 16. But that was the practice back then and no one thought it wrong. Women are able to get pregnant at around 14 so why would God and evolution allow for this capability.
But Mary was not impregnated by any human, she did not have sexual intercourse. It was a hold conception which is completely different. So it kept things sacred in that Christ was not born of flesh but of the spirit just as sex should be with Christianity.
Your God also has a history of violence and teaching/encouraging violence and all sorts of really nasty thing.
God does not teach or encourage violence. That He is judged some and inflicted punishment is not different to how humans judge and inflict punishment for evil. God is the ultimate judge and worthy and rightous in doing so.
On top of that, when it comes to sexual issues, Christians do not have a sparkly clean history in that regard.
Yes even the Church is human. They should know better but as throughout history whether church or State in the name of good have done evil things. But none of this negates the many good Christians quietly going about doing Gods work. The true Church of Christ. It was and is the church that often picks up the pieces of what happens in society.
These are the outward side that anyone could look at and use as examples in the same sorts ways your doing with Pagans.
Yes you could almost say that aspects of the church became pagan in the way they persued their sexual and selfish desires over God. They gave in to their base human flesh rather than live in the spirit of Christ.
But all your doing is looking at one aspect of the outward appearence, the negative stuff because thats all you want to see to bring Christians down. Which shows your bias. There are a multitude of good works done by Christians throughout history and if it wasn't for the CHurch then society would have been in a much worse place.
The point being, what are the believers themselves doing in their spiritual trajectory. In my experience with Pagan friends I've never seen what your projecting onto the Pagan community. You may not like how they experience the Divine, I get that, but you clearly are, at least to my eyes, projecting things that are not generally practiced by the Pagan community as your point of argument. In seeing that is why I knew you have no experience with Paganism and don't really know what your talking about.
The point is there may be many good pagans who are harmless but paganism by its very nature is not about anything really, its ambigious as to what exactly it is. Primarily its about making human desires, feelings, instincts, and nature divine or spiritual. So in that sense it can be anything from harmless practices to debauchery.
There is no clear restrictions on human desires and there is not clear moral code which is usually subjective and relative. Whereas Christianity has a clear objective standard which makes the persuit of the flesh, human desires against the spirit of God and is discouraged. This is done through GOds laws and being born again in the spirit of Christ.
BUt its even more than that. The other point is that despite secular ideas that society can exist without religion and belief the rise of paganism and other new age mystical ideas or even demonic beliefs are all replacing God and Christianity and yet society is no better off and perhaps just as bad in a different way if not worse and heading for worse.
The worship of the fleshly desires has lead to many problems. Materialism has become a god and people and the earth are being pilaged without regard. Many nations are buckling under so called economic reforms that are supposed to make everyone better off and yet a small group of elites have all the power while more and more people suffer.
Addiction and mental health epidemics, society divided along identity lines all warring at each other to the point of antisemetism. While the world is on the brink of war and climate catastrophe while many people are disillusioned and fearing whats going to happen especially young people..
Things anit getting better but worse. The DEI Utopia that the Woke religion promised is not happening but making it worse.
