The appeal of Christianity doesn't make sense to me and here is why.
Tbh as someone who was a Buddhist for 15 years before adding on folk / IE paganims and thereby have been so for over 25 years....ngl I don't understand Christianity at all or it's appeal.
To be it is easily defeated without even full debates.
1) realize you don't need Christs salvation. And if you do need assistance or "salvation" there are none Hebraic Gods which represent this without the Judeo baggage.
2) there is nothing inherent to the Hebraic myths that presents historical facts (it's not historical at all), virtues (it contain very little virtues and the ones it does are common across Eurasia), or holiness that other European or Eurasia myths dont. So thereby no need to adhere to it or replace your own myths,heritage, or history with it.
3) it's cosmology is false and is based on using Paganism as a building block. Without Babylon, Egyptian, Persia, Greco-Romans, Celts, and Germanics it's odd foundation of cosmology and metaphysic well poisoning would fall apart.
Tbh I can't even understand the appeal at all.
The constant debate from Christians who are brainwashed or slander Pagans is growing annoying. Islam and communist atheism is ravaging the West but these useful idiots will attack those who seek deeper spirituality or a connection to their heritage and ancestors....very telling.
Lot's of lies and bad faith arguments from this subverisve individual (RT below) and many of his commenting followers.
You can't expect these people to ever have a proper discussion without strawmaning and manipulating the debate.
It always has to revolve around their failing worldview.
I'm sure there are, and I know a few, good Christians IRL, and ones who care about history, their heritage, and society, but these types who have chosen a sports team or warhammer larping faction to fan boy over and insult the other faction arbitrarily out of societal distraction and become current government in the West support them....aren't truly of any proper faith. They aren't your friends, and more and more they aren't even your cousins, folk, or mutual allies.
Especially the online ones.
I hate having to make constant posts about Christianity when I would rather make posts about Paganism, theology, dharma, or psychological tools and self improvement....but sense the E Christian can't help but go out if their way for constant attack and to try to sow doubt or make threats (literally the devil's they accuse everyone else of being) then I will have to make comments like this now and then.
Online debates are just used as a psyop to keep you down and spread a curse of negativity.
Be productive, keep your opponents within arms reach but don't let them distract you or interlude in your progress and growth.
@coal_christian2 Martin Luther literally started an entire "restoration" of Christianity due to his severe scrupulosity as a Catholic, experiencing the same thing because he actually took his Catholic faith seriously and it was making him nuts.
People in the AFA @FolkAsatru are some of the most honorable and loyal people I've ever met.
One drove me multiple hours away to a hospital, multiple times, when I wasn't able to.
Another took my family out trick 'or treating when I was gone.
All without asking for anything in return, and they jumped at the chance to help, sometimes without me even having to ask.
@mana_of_moria@poelcid >our ancestors' writings are fairytales
>Don't dress nice, just wear hoodies and jeans
>Don't have any hofs, just LARP in the woods
>Anything I don't like is Christian
You are such an obvious disinfo agent lol
Thankfully no one takes you seriously.
@mana_of_moria@poelcid That wasn't me asking you about your claims, that was me asking you to actually make an argument yourself instead of using AI as a crutch. Which again, is me pointing out your flawed methodology.
That unintelligence is really showing.
@mana_of_moria@poelcid I just told you that I find you unintelligent and I don't take you seriously and your solution is to challenge me to an AI debate? 😂
Our faith does not look like Christianity, that's just you being a reactionary who's triggered by people wearing suits.
@mana_of_moria@poelcid AI is biased to the question being directed at it. You can word any prompt to have AI give you the answer you want.
I just asked Grok to both prove and disprove if our ancestors had dedicated temples and it gave sources and evidence for both.
@mana_of_moria@poelcid Why should I believe you? You're incapable of making an argument, you need AI to do it for you. As I said before, you're an unintelligent person, I don't take your arguments seriously.
