Which religions revere Mother Nature?

[Audie]

Like I've said before: Hate the physical and pray to be brought back from the dead.

Too bad for you, really.
I hear a lot of advice and suggestions, but that
is among the worst ever.

I'm not able to pray away my worldly sexual urges as a mortal man. People should not try to "pray away" their own natural design by virtue of creation. God, if He exists, made me human after all. He never commanded me to be an asexual angel as he made me of the earthly soil, supposedly. People should strive to do good works through their mortal (worldly and terminal) lives and be kind towards their neighbors. There is no evil in any kind of sexual orientation that only involves two consenting adults. Now, where innocent children are involved or where rape, pedophilia and sexual assault is involved I have a lot of trouble there. I can't hate the physical that God supposedly made in the beginning. The physical hummingbirds, mountains, wild animals, beaches, seas, canyons, valleys lakes, rivers, prairies, trees and flowers of this world are beautiful. I only hate wicked deeds and wickedness in human hearts. I hate war, unjust killing, abuse, heinous crimes, selfishness, hypocrisy, greed, avarice, arrogance, poverty, squalor, pollution by man of God's supposed creation, cruelty toward people and animals and man-made habits which destroy the body, the supposed temple of the soul, as smoking, drugs and excessive drinking.

I love peace, kindness, compassion, natural beauty and good will of men, women and children between one another. I love the American way as Our Founding Fathers had originally drafted the Constitution. I wish America would act as one nation under God (if He does exists). I do believe in what Jesus Christ said in regards to loving thy neighbor as oneself and doing unto others as one would have them do unto you. Things the bible says about condemning fornication and supposedly about condemning homosexuality I question highly. Sexual urges are a thing of nature, not of the devil if he exists.

It is pretty insane to say that god is all good, but
everything he made is bad.

I'm sorry, I was unclear.
That was my opinion of most Christian doctrine.

Ah, good that you are not victim to that
bit of lunacy.

Paganism of old seems accepting of what is earthly and natural: sexual permissiveness among other things. How and why Europeans traded paganism for Christianity is unclear. Christianity, Islam and Judaism condemn many earthly pleasures in the flesh which naturally feel so good to most people. Taking up the cross is like becoming a prisoner to a ball and chain.

Paganism of today does as well. Pop by the heathenism or paganism sub-forums, we promise we won't bite!

The how and why of europeans taking up christianity is not really unclear, however. We Danes were forced to by our king when he converted. It doesn't mean we liked it, just that that was how things were done at that point in time. Fortunately, the old ways have been ressurected since then.

I would have to say the Greek and Roman religions of antiquity. They held that all the gods and goddesses were created through various acts of nature as were the creation of mortals.

Same-sex matings were also permitted and customary in ancient pagan cultures such as these.

They held that the various deities were attributed to various human affairs of this world as well as some natural occurrences yet these same deities were born of acts of nature.

Correct?

It would seem Mother Nature is the ultimate Creatrix of all the living. Fertility rites are strong in these old faiths.

Abrahamic monotheistic faiths often condemn many acts, of the flesh, which are natural.

Paganism of old seems accepting of what is earthly and natural: sexual permissiveness among other things. How and why Europeans traded paganism for Christianity is unclear.

Obviously Mother Nature is a pseudo term for natural processes but I do like the personification .

Why would pagans, a natural worship, believe in something so unnatural as same sex marriage?

 

[Jonathan Bailey]

Marriage is a man-made construct and unnatural anyway. The animals don't say "I do" before screwing. I don't know if pagans of antiquity practiced even opposite-sex marriage. But I do believe same-sex sexual contact is a part of nature as is opposite-sex sexual contact.

The closest thing to "marriage" in nature is the wolves. A given pair mates together until death do they part. Whether Canis lupus ever engages in same-sex fooling around, I don't know, but male lions (of a coalition) do sometimes.

Doves, on the other hand, which bird is a personification of the Christian Holy Ghost, habitually change partners at least once annually for mating and breeding new families each season for life.

 

[Uriel the Odinist]

Marriage is a man made construct, yes. You're comparing human marriage to loveless animals. The point of marriage is to have a kid(s). To not have a kid you give less to your society.

I guess bonobos constantly do, that's what I read from biologists.

I do respect your viewpoint But it raise a question.
For those couple who live together (Male/female) Who choose not to have kids, they do not give anything to the society? or did i misunderstand you?

Of course they can give to a society but it limits their giving by not having a child. Children are the future of any nation, it is important to give to help strengthen your nation.

I understand your viewpoint But not everyone wish to have kids. And ofcourse from different reasons.

If someone can not have a child then thats understandable

So if someone live together but do not interact in sexual act because of the spiritual life they live, how do you see it then? Is life about getting children?

Everyone should have a child but some can't and shouldn't. There are a lot of other thing than children. Life is about fowarding something bigger than you, to work and serve your nation and people. In a ideal nation everyone would be pagan.

When you say serve your nation, what does that mean?
Why do we put borders, we are all human beings,

 

[Uriel the Odinist]

We are all human beings but with our own people. Whites should have theyre own nations. Just like blacks, asians and hispanics.

 

[Uriel the Odinist]

The belief of a borderless world is a straight principle of cultural marxism.

So you say example America is only for who?
Or Great britain is for?

We are beings and color of skin has nothing to do with it
