Paganism to be included in Cornwall's school religious education syllabus

[Beit El]

Why the scare quotes?

Because it's nonsensical New-Age shit they're going to 'teach'.

Paganism is a broad term. Just about any folk/indigenous religion can be called pagan.

And no indigenous religion will be thought.

And no indigenous religion will be thought.

I honestly have no idea what the indigenous Cornish religion is, but what do you think will be taught instead?

Some historically incorrect all-inclusive New-Age nonsense.

We don't know enough about historical paganism to properly revive it. But a religion should not be judged on how old or new it is, just on how much sense it seems to make. It seems reasonable to say that revering nature is a way of coming closer to God, if there is a God. By contrast, it seems unreasonable to believe in a lot of the stories and claims from the Abrahamic religious books.

Modern paganism, as in dancing naked in some park and drinking urine or something sick hippy stuff like that.
