    Gay

    Your mythology, prophecies and biblical laws are irrelevant to me. I don't know a Yahweh. He is welcome in my temple like all benevolent spirits and gods, but my heathen ways prefer Odin's kin in Asgard and their allies the Van gods in Vanaheim and most importantly my own ancestors and beloved dead.

    Amateur research on evolution

    When I hear about how some reject evolution wholly, I get the impression they mostly don't understand it. Giving the benefit of the doubt, here's what I understand: Fact: a phenomenon that has been recreated in a lab setting or observed to be true in nature without room for doubt. Theory: a...

    The Authenticity of Your Religion

    From my heathen perspective, I tried to be historically authentic for the longest time. That was until i had heard the idea that my pagan ancestors mostly didn't do their rituals in such a way because they were obsessed with conserving tradition. On the contrary, they did the rituals as best...

    Germanic Heathens: How do you interpret Heathenry in belief and practice?

    To be clear, I have no idea if any divinity is my genetic ancestor. I'd guess secularly that none are. Seeing the gods as ancestors comes from lore from all over Europe of deities having children with women and the god's genes would be dispersed eventually through the gene pool. Does this have...

    I just thought I'd open up an interesting discussion. Feel free to give your input on the gay debates.

    Creationism v Evolution

    I'm only replying because you apparently made yourself open to persuasion. Here's what I know as an amateur: The definitions in scientific circles are different. A fact is something objectively and absolutely recreated and observed with no room for error. A theory is an explanation for multiple...

    Gay

    As a gay man, I don't argue with homophobes (who are usually conservative or of abrahamic worldview, let's be real) for various reasons. Firstly, I can't control what others think. Frankly what others think is none of my business and out of my control. Trying to change people, even if they're...

    A civilized dissussion: Christianity and paganism

    I'm confused, you didn't exactly contradict me anywhere except saying that Hebrews didn't come from Canaanites. I will say that the origins of the Hebrews (in a non theological context) is debated. You're free to disagree about their origins but it's just my opinion that most likely happened.

    Jurassic World *spoilers*

    On Zara's death: WOW I was blown away and kinda creeped out. The way she screamed made you think she knew she was going to die. She's grabbed by the pterosaur in the park's Main Street, fought over as any prey item by other animals, dropped into the inescapable Mosasaurus tank and tortured by...

    What was last movie you watched?

    ***spoiler alert*** Can I please talk about Zara's death? I can't get something out of my mind which is a scary question. At what point did Zara die? She can be seen in the shot over the mosasaurus where she is in the mouth, held by the pteranodon, frantically trying to claw her way out, but...

    Germanic Heathens: How do you interpret Heathenry in belief and practice?

    In belief: I feel the worldview of Germanic Heathenism is based on the social structure of the tribe. There were the outyards, misyards and inneryards. Outyards was anything outside the community barriers, including resident wildlife, hostile strangers and foreign tribesmen. Midyards'...

    To my conservative friends in the USA against LGBT rights

    Clarifying to those defending non homophobic conservatism or pointing out left wing homophobic socialism: I was talking about the conservatives who are homophobic, and sure liberals can be included if they are too, in the context of US politics. I'm well aware of political variances outside of...

    Reconstructing names of Gods

    I'm gonna give my input by simply naming the deities from PIE to Proto-Germanic to Saxon/Viking but for simplicity sake I'll leave out the Indo-European cognates. Djews Phter- "Sky Father" lord of order, war, oaths and The Sky- Tiwaz- "God" of war, justice and the sky- Tiw/Tyr- "God" of war...

    Christianity and Paganism -- Compatible?

    I like to think that Christuanity isn't compatible with very many things pagan, but Paganism can be compatible with some Christian ideas or practices. I'm using the word pagan as meaning any polytheistic worshipper who specifically religiously honors divinity(ies) which isn't/aren't the...

    A civilized dissussion: Christianity and paganism

    I have to admit that I'm Heathen, however I'll be as unbiased as I can. How I understand some theories on the development of Christianity starts in Israel with the Pagan Canaanites. There were four notable deities, being El, ruling God of the sky resembling Egyptian Ra, Asherah, fertility...
