Sure. Each ethnic group should re-familiarize themselves with their old pantheon, folktales, and rituals. Before the advent of Abrahamic religions, people didn't fight over religion. As a matter of fact, if one population conquered another e.g. Romans over Celts, they were more likely to adopt, or identify foreign deities with their own.
Exactly. If Abrahamic religion is so great, why did it rely so heavily on Christianizing the old feasts and assimilating/mixing/matching the saint and Blessed Virgin Mary cults with that of the old gods and goddesses? Is Abrahamic religion not sufficient on its own? I would say "No" because if you remove all of the ritual, architectural, and symbolic elements inherited from the old ways, then all you have left is a dusty, rigid, intolerant belief system developed by a bunch of desert goat-fuckers with a barbaric, iron-age morality. This is the exact reason why Protestantism is so bankrupt.
Indeed. This is the logic of the old ways.Originally Posted by Sean-Jobst
