    The Gods: Real or Archetypes?

    What a great exchange of thought, thank you all! My personal take on this matter: I completely understand your resentment about people calling Gods archetypes. You may want to know, that Carl Jung who created the term "archetype" was equally abhorred, but by the abuse of the term. Atheists...

    Brahman or God

    Greetings Aupmanyav, Do you equate knower with observer? If not what is the difference?

    Brahman or God

    What brought you to that conclusion? Brahman is not a thing, that much all will agree on. The flying spagetti monster can be imagined, created a mental picture of. Brahman can not be imagined. As such it is not a product of imagination.

    Pagan / Wiccan music

    You more and more convince me that Paganism is a derogatory term and Neopaganism is more of a modern subculture that does lip-service to my ancestors tradition by cherry picking and mimicking from a far past, but not ordinary culture. I was in the mistaken idea that Paganism had to do with...

    Pagan / Wiccan music

    "Me and Jesus" was not among the songs I referred to. It was a traditional song: "Come Back Home to Erin". I do not care that the Singer also sings Christian songs. It does not make the song less traditional. Here is another version with other great traditional songs. You seem to think more...

    Pagan / Wiccan music

    I only want to know what period(s) and tribes/peoples you were referring to here. Otherwise you seem to generalize a lot in your latest description of the Germanic people. Maybe you do not appreciate the impact the Roman invasions had on the Germanic people. Also slavery is not some precise...

    Pagan / Wiccan music

    <part 3> Hindus are no Pagans, and it would only insult them. To call the ancient Greek Pagans is even more stupid as they were a city civilization much more advanced than the Romans or Jews. Even American Indians do not want to be called "Pagans". To them that is Europeans again trying to...

    Pagan / Wiccan music

    <part 2> Frankly this kind of revivalism is akin to what American Christians do when they want to revive early Christianity. They create some kind of nonsensical romantic idea that early Christians were Jews, as Jesus was really Jew, and Catholic Church is a Pagan distortion of their beautiful...

    Pagan / Wiccan music

    I did not say the musicians are Pagan, but the songs are. I showed that the same song was sung by ordinary country folks in a long tradition and is also put on record by modern singers, What I tried to show is that our ancestors tradition is not dead but lives on! That is actually how...

    Is Trump About To Blow His Record Of No New Wars?

    The problem with fundamentalist ideology (religious or not) is that it creates a supremacist mindset. "We the people of God", "His Chosen One(s)" and "Them the enemies of God", "The Evil". This then creates a double standard, in which the means we use are always justified by the end, and nothing...

    Good for you. I guess, you are one of those healthy war mongers, who believe Iran wants to destroy Israel Sorry, I am neither a "believer" nor "disbeliever"/"denier". You need a different mindset for that. You want my estimations? 911: It stinks, might well be an inside job Moon landing...

    Is Trump About To Blow His Record Of No New Wars?

    The larger media have become propaganda machinery for interest groups. Even if there is still good journalism as well, there are these constant mantra's of interest groups that take on religious proportions. Like trying to stamp people negatively for having another view (like calling them...

    Ahmadinejad Never said that. When it comes to lies there are two kinds of evil. Those who invent them, and those who spread them around.

    Is Trump About To Blow His Record Of No New Wars?

    In my opinion the most aggressively led countries in the world today are Israel, Saudi Arabia and the USA. Actually USA is number one, but its foreign policy is driven to a great extend by the lobbies of the first two next to ruthless corporations. These groups justify their war crimes spreading...
