The Greeks who worship the ancient gods

[riverman]

Christianity is old Greek gods molded in Jewish style monotheism. Jesus, Mary, clear examples of this.

Actually it's completely different.

[Annihilus]

Christianity is nothing like the old Greek gods but that wasn't my point. The core doctrines of the Christian faith in their current form were essentially created in the Ecumenical councils by Romans, not Jews. It was Constantine who initiated them, not some Jew. So I am not sure why Christianity's Greco-Roman character is denied.

Are you telling me Greeks didn't know of a virgin giving birth to a son from Zeus? I mentioned the Jews because they were leading on monotheism at that time, you can change it with Zoroastrianism if you like.

[Pontios]

Επιτέλους σκάσε ρε τουρκό-σπορε , βλάσφημε , ψόφα.

(Translation: Shut up already Turko-spore, blasphemy, die.)

Perhaps you want to tell me why I am wrong rather than using insults as your argument? No matter what you say, I believe what I believe in because all you say are insults, not arguments or anything to support your "argument".

And how is this blasphemy?

Zeus and Tengri friends 4 ever

Zeus and Tengri never met each other, if they had they would fight till the end...

Pontios, stop your trolling. You post images of ROMANS feeding the lions with your kin, not Hellenes

This was actually supposed to show before and after Christianity... Paganism vs Christianity... Not quite Hellenes vs Romans but before Christianity, the Romans were pretty much Hellenes in many ways. Until the start of Christianity in the Roman Empire, there were not many differences between Hellenes and Romans.

[Baluarte]

I don't see the dichotomy.
Golden Dawn themselves were originally Hellenistic neo-pagans, and after a while they grew to accept the Greek Orthodox Church and defend it as well.

In the seminars they organize for children they speak about both, and to be proud of the whole Greek tradition, pre-Christian and Christian.

I for one, don't really believe in pagan revivalism (was very interested in it at some point, trying to find a pure source of tradition), since it can no longer be massified to change the whole national mentality, but if some people can build healthy ethic systems and national conscience from it, all power to them

After all, what we call the "European" (abusive term) civilization is usually understood as the junction between: Mediterranean Greco-Roman world, and traditional Christianity (both Western Roman and Eastern Byzantine).

Some feel more for one side, some more for the other. Not a problem

How can you be so sure that Tengri isn't Zeus?

Basically, a good start would be to quit using Google translate because it rapes Greek, that you obviously cant understand well.

Also, phrases like "There are no Hellenes today" would be better to keep them for yourself. Let us, the real Hellenes, to decide what we are.

In the meanwhile , you should go back to Turkey and rediscover your roots and find your identity. And please don't call yourself a Roman or something , it's a disgrace for Romans.

[Baluarte]

I still don't get the "Turk" pun against Pontios.
