Do you ever stop and wonder why these Pagan types keep showing up? This is why. Because you tell them they're right. You literally just confirmed everything he said about you and your beliefs.

Evolaposting has ruined you morons, you're so allergic to actual tradition and history that even when you embrace religion, you can't stand the thought of having a connection even as far back as just two generations. You think "tradition" is an item, rather than an act, so you abandon the faiths of your forefathers (Methodism, Baptism, Lutheranism, and/or Quakerism) and instead jump on 20th century Italian Catholicism. But that's not good enough for you, so you have to go even further and sperg out about how the Pope isn't the real Pope, so you redo the entire fucking Protestant Reformation by LARPing about SSPX, all while not even being baptized.

No you retard I'm saying that he calls the religion that conquered them and subjugated them and in many cases they willingly desired to become a part of is not tragically some evil corruption of their souls-- and is certainly not some modern silly ideology like "pacifism", no religion could be reduced so.

Can you not read? Besides I greatly admire the best of paganism, but "paganism = good" is a common belief for morons like yourself and you never actually take up the question if the definition of religion or paganism at all. I've literally gone through a long rigmarole with one LARPer anon about the definition of paganism only for him to say "pan paedophile cult of ancient Greece would probably be good yes but I'm not sure", just total refuse to make an answer and even when he does it shows how unstable his moral beliefs are.

Christianity was a spiritual development above paganism, but that is not to say that past is bad, or that it does not equal Christianity in many of its specific achievements.

The moment you perceive someone attacking Christianity - which I'm not, I'm attacking you - you throw a fucking fit.

You've managed to not only demonstrate that the Pagan is right about you, and your LARP, but also that I am.

yeah there's a weird sort of humor to it. their entire conception of religion comes from arguing about this shit online. they arent trying to actually "convert" anyone, they just want win arguments (which you cant actually do, by definition). but then these people grew up in an environment where thats all religion really is. theyre all fundamentally the same lukewarm protestants and agree on everything that actually matters. they dont actually know HOW to evangelize.

Just look at this guy>>16363894
Yeah that's a real argument in reply to my much longer post. And this guy>>16363898 completely puts words in my mouth "we were dumb morons before jews showed us the truth", where that is obviously an insult against Christianity because I believe Jesus was not a jew, and that paganism in its real historical existence is an admirable thing, as any true religion. You people are literally just the definition of /pol/ npc's who've learn the word yourself, none of you think and you say others don't think, neither of you can form a sentence correctly without sperging out and somehow stating that I'm calling non-Christian religions evil and assuming all sorts of ridiculous insults against my character because you're literally just bitter that someone said Christianity is not bad. Your whole LARPagan rage started when one of you faggots said practically that the Aryan/European has lost all ancestral pride and honour when he became a Christian. I rightfully called him a retard for this, and then he came out with the typical "le pacifism waaah" shallow insults against religion which are very suited for the sub 80 iq level of /pol/. You're literally all brainfried Evola tier revisionist fags that jump the gun as soon as there is any mention of "muh paganism". I have only ever insulted the stupid anons LARPing as Pagans in this thread, not Paganism, but you all have most certainly made an effort to insult Christianity. Please kill yourselves you worthless sacks of potatoes that add nothing to this board.
