    Default Is Paganism our only hope against Islam?

    Christianity has shown itself to consist of nothing more than a bunch of spineless, craven appeasers, happy to bend over backwards to abandon their principles and adopt Muslim ones. It's no accident that more and more people are turning to Paganism.

    Lol paganism has it's share if spineless cowards, and big burly guys who reside at the low end of the Bell curve.

    I think so, Christianity failed to defend us from Islam, so we need to try something else.



    I'm joking, religion is a personal thing and one belives what one belives, it's our culture and heritage we must uphold to keep those towelheads' influence away.

    Most Pagans I've met are highly articulate and intelligent.

    Not pagan religion per se, which is merely a collection of stories, rites, and rituals, but the pagan mindset that the old tales speak of: bravery, civic duty, devotion to the family, hard work, honesty, loyalty to one's friends, perhaps a certain craftiness ala Odysseus, aggressive warlikeness (i.e. not shirking away from violence), etc.

    Christianity has only failed because these lionlike qualities are now lionized in the name of universal brotherhood and divine forgiveness of sins.

    Christianity is a religion, how individuals identifying as 'Christian' act is another matter entirely (the most paganish pagan in the world couldn't be more critical of modern Christian leadership than me). How Christians behave exists in a state of flux. If you lived in 16th century Iberia and you weren't an ethnically native Christian then Christianity would probably seem to you to consist of "nothing more" than aggressive bullies and racists. The same goes really for various times and places in Europe's history.

    It's no accident that more and more people are turning to Paganism.
    Every religion makes this claim/similar claims.

    Christians might have done different things in the past. It's how they act now that's important.
