Horus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Krishna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dionysus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mithra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Exactly how and why do these facts threaten your beliefs?
Wikipedia? Look deeper. It's in your best interest.

...Sun and planet worship is an abomination and is worshiping false gods...
For over two millennia there have been contingents of Christians slapping Christian themes on top of Pagan ideas. I'm not going to detail them here, they are well-known.

As for the "return of sun worship"
1.) As a Pagan myself, I don't believe the sun is a god any more than Christians believe lambs are Jesus. It is just a symbol. Like a photo of your child is not your child.
2.) It has always been with us to some degree. After centuries of persecution by "some groups that look to be pushing an agenda," modern Pagans are simply tired of keeping silent and are more willing to live openly today.

If your preferred Holy Book says it is an abomination, then don't practice it. If you like the idea of Paganism, change religions.

These things are not ingredients for maturity. Don't confuse IQ-level for maturity.

There is no doubt that their is a creator/God. This can be proven mathematically. The probability of chance creating this (aka evolution) is absurd by scientific standards and is impossible. Not to mention not observed.

There is a creator. The question becomes what/who. The God of the Bible has never been proven wrong. It's a matter of history. The spiritual war still wages. Just look at what's going on in the middle east. Why on earth is Jerusalem the center of the entire earth?

All languages west of it read from left to right. All languages east of it read right to left. Coincidence? I don't think so.

In the organized "Religious" Christian establishment yes. Not in the scriptures. Paganism is the root of false God worship which the creator hates.

Our world is run by political occultists that worship the Sun. Eventually it will be forced upon bible-believing Christians as prophesied. Pagan Planet worship has it's roots at the Tower of Babel and is an abomination. "Mother Earth"/aka "Mother of Harlots" uniting mankind to save the planet and themselves. This can be seen from miles away as it is all foretold.

All that don't unite for peace and unity, will be deemed against saving the planet and humanity. Leave our religious differences behind and evolve to a higher state of "consciousness." It's Luciferian doctrine. It's Satanism without coming out and saying it disguised as light. The transformation of biblical Christianity into a "mystic" eastern "Christianity." You can see the false prophets on this board proselytizing this doctrine to plant the seed in the uninformed.

OK, Encyclopedia Britannica, could look up the others, but you will ignore that also.

Now are you going to answer the question or come up with some other silly dodge for either you don't have an answer to my question, or you know you will make a fool of yourself. So I repeat the question:

You're not hearing what i'm saying . There is a God.To me,you're threads suggests you are still trying to convince yourself by all means possible that there is a God. Your threads are based on the fear in your own heart.

Why on earth would i have to look to the middle east or Jerusalem to convince myself there is a God ?

Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”

I believe many people believe a "false god" is any one that isn't theirs.

If your god says Paganism is an abomination, then I'd say you should stay away from it. If your god says thus and such will happen, then there is nothing you can do about it anyway, as your god has already decreed it so. My gods say treat each person, and what is sacred to them, with respect.

"...uniting mankind to save the planet and themselves..." You say that as though it's a bad thing.

Interesting.
