Worth a Try

I am a data pagan and a cyber vegan myself

To be fair, I related what my experiences concerning a divine lead me to rationalize it as. What you call god, I ascribe different facets of understanding to. The image remains, but what is being understood unfolds further.
The metaphor of the god leads to casting it with greater significance. So that its physical form ascribes tendrils leading to life, and life ascribes tendrils to it. So that the two become connected more intimately. In this sense, the same notion of gods remains, but the facets and how they tie together cloaks the gods with the words of humanity to better understand consciousnesses connection to the same.

You seek to see it as a physical manifestation, I simply couched it in a more discreet manner. This makes more sense to me and the disconnect inherent in having two separate forms is erased.
In short, my belief simply eliminates the inability to feel it within myself by ascribing aspects that come from it and manifest into me.

OP here: I guess the reason why I'm asking is that I struggled with my (Christian) faith a bit lately.

Usually, when I read Scripture it calms me down and gives me a feeling of vastness ("He brought me forth also into vastness" Psalm 18:19) but lately, as I was watching documentaries about space and the sea and everything, Scripture didn't feel vast but rather narrow, if you know what I mean.

Well, but that's just one of the many, many reasons, of course. However, Paganism never really felt "old" to me but rather like just another form of posmodernism: Gods are just metaphors, objective truth doesn't exist, relativism and a have-it-your-way spirituality is prefered over Dogma, two Pagans could totally disagree with each other and it wouldn't even matter because there is no objective truth….

You should read Plato Parmenides. You will feel again the vastness of God.

Imagery speaks stronger than words and the Scripture does not hold poetic or visual value that these documentaries have, but the fact that humanity can derive from the vastness of the universe the existence and omnipotence of Creator should be comfort enough. Go back to Genesis and compare it with what you know and learned from these documentaries - parallels are there.

demons like to sneak in through our doubts

...

The advancement of science allows us to see how vast and perfect the work of the LORD is.

Your doubt is a trial and if you go past it, you faith will grow stronger.

Keep the faith.

You know what's even worse though? Chopping off part of your dick and worshipping a Jew.

the short story is that pagans (using neo pagan or paganist makes you sound like a retard) are widely varied and have a variety of beliefs.


Personally I believe in several deities and think that most of the ones we claim to exist, exists. Odin (or Eris, or Ur or Morrigan or Belibog or Whoever) Do exist in a godlike fashion (we have the same problem as Xtians in this respect, obviously they are not in the clouds).

The most obvious difference is that most of us believe in and practice magic of various kinds. Its like meme magic in some respects and like prayer in other respects.

Many of us also pray/maintain an alter/worship.

Most pagans will pray/sacrifice for thanks.


You know, we know we got a bad reputation for being fedora tipping faggots but there are just as many righty pagans as lefty pagans. We just don't go around making asses of ourselves and making the news.
