[Serious] Opinions on paganism?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Even more to the point, nature intervenes, and the sacred is immanent.  Gods, even for those who believe in them, tend not to be supernatural.  A god isn't over nature or in nature and beyond nature.  It -is- nature.  When a god blows, that's the wind at work.

If we detect anything that is super natural the "super-" prefix instantly drops away and it is added to the set of natural things.

In the same way, if we detect something in a parallel universe the "parallel" cancels out and it is instantly considered part of this universe.

You can't detect supernatural things.

That definition doesn't specify beyond perception, it specifies beyond understanding or natural law.

You can't detect supernatural things.

Sure you can. What about a baby's smile?

That's usually gas.

Well then where did the gas come from? It wasn't always there.

I did post the definition for review.

[Angrboda]

I did post the definition for review.

The definition gave no reason why they are not detectable.

They're outside the realm of natural science and therefore chimera.
