    The chat room should work? Did something change in the system? Because the tab which used to be there next to members and search before the ban on me is still gone.

    Could you pm me a link to a mod whom I can get help from? I don't want this to be my only feedback in the feedback thread because I've had mostly good experiences with the site and community.

    Being blocked

    I've been blocked from the chat by an unknown moderator without any warning and I feel it was unjustified (I don't want to go into the details publicly). I've messaged multiple mods about this, sent a message via "contact us" to Religious Forums, explained what happened and I haven't gotten a...

    Do You Think Muslims Are Violent?

    This isn't a black and white topic. Some Islamic cultures are, some aren't. Some Muslims interpret gender role regulations in the Koran as laws condoning male superoriority, others as a protection for women against lust from men and some as a product of Muhammed's worldview which is...

    Are you for bringing back sacrifice in your religion?

    Yeah you gotta take everything with a grain of salt, and see where the theories from archaeology and written attestations overlap to get the best guess as to what was the reality.

    Are you for bringing back sacrifice in your religion?

    Most attested "human sacrifices" were almost always foreign attestations by the people's enemies. In reality they were most likely a harmless indigenous practice (most of the time second hand accounts or a first hand account seen from compromising angles and points in time) misinterpreted as a...

    Are you for bringing back sacrifice in your religion?

    There are many ways to sacrifice and there are many reasons to. Most of the time within indigenous polytheism, sacrifice is a way to build relationship with the gods (fruit offerings and libations being under the category of "sacrifice") I have no issues with animal sacrifice. This was a core...

    Filling In the Gaps

    I can see why you would think that, however the word "Ing" comes from the Proto-Indo-European word Hingwis, meaning fire and possibly was the name of a god or an epithet to Perkwonos. Freyja most likely has her origins in the goddess Xeusos, who had two other epithets. One was Hwestia, where we...

    Hail the powergod!

    Two ravens on his shoulders, two wolves at his feet, He is The Lord of the golden hall! He is the god of wisdom, he is the god of rage, he is the god of unity and war! Odin, the powergod!

    Thought you should know...

    I, as a Germanic Polytheist, hope that our communities can both coexist together, regardless of the fact that the far-right of both seem to strongly dislike each other. During the Viking Era, my ancestors of Scandinavia and your Faith's forefathers created an alliance and established a trade...

    Jesus ain't God.

    IMO Jesus was an illiterate, lower class, uneducated peasant who had the treasonous agenda to kick Rome out of Palestine and reestablish it as an independent nation. It was for this reason he was crucified.

    Orthodoxy vs Orthopraxy in Heathenry

    I feel talking about "beliefs", particularly discussion of correct orthodoxy, as a defining part of Indigenous Teutonic Heathenry is terribly misleading. I don't think that they had beliefs per se, more like theories. They were very practical, because of this I think that if there wasn't...

    Becoming Completely Amoral

    A lack of morality isn't a lack of spirit of god-concept. It's a lack of empathy.

    Why Reconstruct?

    As a Teutonic Heathen, I get the following question a lot: "why revive a dead religion in the past?" There are actually many answers to that question. I however prefer to choose this particular one: The Western World is ignorant. In an age of "everyday" knowledge and technology, which...

    whats your favorite religion outside of your own?

    I don't really have one. I'm a Teutonic Heathen, which is an indigenous religion. The way I see it, indigenous peoples didn't have dividing lines between each other, fussing about "well that's your religion over there, and here's mine over here..." very monotheistic. I would say Indigenous...
