Zitat des Tages über Heidentum / Paganism:
The virtue of paganism was strength; the virtue of Christianity is obedience.
Strength was the virtue of paganism; obedience is the virtue of Christianity.
What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.
Call it a case of observer bias on my part, but Humanist Paganism seems to be an emerging option for those who want to be part of the Pagan community, but who want to be a little more intellectual about their practices, and they really don't care about the 'woo' anymore.
Paganism is infectious, more infectious than diphtheria or piety.
I would love to go back to any time in European history, especially in Irish history, to the second or third century, prior to the arrival of Christianity when Paganism flourished. I can always go back there in my imagination, of course. It doesn't cost anything, and it's a form of time travel, I suppose.
People in minority religious communities, like Paganism, often feel isolated and even marginalized by others because of the lifestyle differences associated with their spiritual path.
