It's always good for us to gently correct others when we feel that they're being harsh, and it's always good for us to gently calm someone down when their emotions get the best of them. If you reread that post of yours, you will see that you were trying to correct [what you saw as] a belittling attitude by belittling the individual. So in truth, you were behaving no better than you thought I was. Right? Just being honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To begin with for misinterpreting what you were saying. In a sense this was just an error on my part, but it was only an error I made because I was willing to assume the worst about your motives and actions. And secondly, even if I had been correct my response was no better than the motives and attitude I had attributed to you. So on both counts I made an ass of myself and I extend to you my genuine apologies. If you are returning to Phatmass I would like us, to the extent possible, to get off on a better foot and my jumping to conclusions and being a jerk will not help with that.

Jaime Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The more precise definition of paganism is the belief that your actions will manipulate the god(s) or forces of nature to do your bidding. Canaanite, Roman, Greek, wiccan etc all had/have practices that they believed would result in a blessing or curse that they desired. Christianity, Judaism, Islam all attempt to serve God, not manipulate God. That's the actual difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 [quote name='Aloysius' date='21 September 2009 - 12:53 AM' timestamp='1253508816' post='1970251'] silly point to clarify, but I feel the need to: you cannot be a Pagan and a monotheist, either. Monotheism means you believe there to be only one God, that there do not now exist nor have there ever existed any other Gods but that one. perhaps you mean you're a monotheist in that you worship only one God, but if you ally yourself with paganism, you admit the existence of other gods that other pagans worship. if you think that the other people's gods are not real, well, you're not exactly a pagan are you? what exactly would keep you a pagan if you could honestly say "the gods that other pagans worship are not real, only my god is real"?

[/quote] Better stated a number of the early Israelites worshiped false gods forsaking the True God. I still do not agree with Modernist thought that polytheism is found and taught in the Old Testament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
