What is Neo-Paganism?

[039]

well, really even b4 i took this test i was thinking about going to this religion

Picking a religion shouldn't be like changing your clothes. Instead of picking one based on what suits you best, look for the truth. At your age, I was the same way, so I can understand. Trust me on this one: You do NOT want to play around with your eternity by picking a so-so religion just because you like it. Christianity is hard for me, but I take solace in the fact that the evidence for its truth is backed up behind it.

AFIrocks, may I ask why you chose to ask Christians this question - why you did not ask it in the "NonChristian Religion" area? I mean, I think you asked the right people - people who are not deceived by the beautiful side of evil - but why??

If you look at our society today, most of the problems come from people doing what "feels" right over what IS right! It gives you no moral foundations and it does not give you structure to live a faithfull life.

The word "morals" can sound boring and restrictive, and that's not the emphasis of Christianity, but think about what they said concerning a self-based philosophy.

Look at the times we've been frustrated with our friends, or siblings, or even teachers -- it's usually because we percieve their motivations to be selfish.

If there were only one person on the planet, that would work fine.


I am of the opinion that the forces behind these religions are real, but not concerned about your well-being. I have heard hundreds of stories of seemingly benevolent spirits turning on people... entrapping them for senseless abuse.

Notice that even in Greek mythology, the reader seems to be the only good guy -- the gods are crazy.

From Air Force news, Guam:

When passing a Banyan tree, Chamorros ask for permission, as they might ask a parent or elder. If they don’t, the spirits might punish them.
“People say they’ve come out of the jungles with bruises, or pinch marks,” said Hattig, who was born on Guam.
