If you believe in the God of the Bible, why try to prove it logically?

B. Let's play the True Pagan™ game, I'll go first.

Human sacrifice is a pagan practice which is not condoned in the Bible. Is a person who participates in the act or benefits from the act a pagan? I say yes...

I think you should brush-up on your "pagan history". [Human sacrifice] (aka murder) wasn't a universal trait of "country dwellers"....at least not in the true sense of the term.

Plus... your motives are as bright as day here. I don't believe any of the following definition applies to Jesus?

pa·gan
noun \ˈpā-gən\
Definition of PAGAN
1
: heathen 1; especially : a follower of a polytheistic religion (as in ancient Rome)
2
: one who has little or no religion and who delights in sensual pleasures and material goods : an irreligious or hedonistic person
3
: neo-pagan


I have an atheist coworker who says money is his god.....so, "pagan" sounds more and more like an atheist to me! Especially given the many directions he can move in the material gods of this world...and w/o a religion to hinder him!

And...if you're feeling violently pagan, and/or hungry you could ceremoniously chase a small hen around as a sacrifice? That'll also get you off the couch and exercising, instead of playing those pagan video games! win/win!
Oh please. Don't assume I'm refering to "Jesus" as pagan, he was the victim, not the perpetrator...

Anyways, I'm not sure if you're aware of the origins of the Catholic church or not. You know, the church formed by those ancient Romans....
Sunday worship? Pagan sun god's day of worship.... Undecided
Pray to non-gods? Yeah, praying to "mother mary" is a pagan practice... Undecided
Call no man on earth your father? Calling a priest "father" is contradictory to the words in the Bible, thus pagan. Undecided
X-mas? Easter? Halloween? All pagan... Undecided
Do you celebrate and decorate with a pagan x-mas trees and symbols?
What about Tartarus and Hades? Fucking pagan myths... Undecided

"They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."
