Some posters mentioned paganism or heathenry and equated it with nordicism. I visited quite a few sites about Asatru, owing to one of my hobbies (English philology), some of them are a pretext for nordicist propaganda, some are made by lovers of Old English poetry and ancient rites, with a slightly…well… hippie bent, it's not a shame after all. Amksa, very amusing, your post about Zidane. By the way, I denounce you publicly: the Latin lover on the photo that adorns your particulars, in the left column, is actor Saïd Taghmaoui, not good old Amksa. Haha! What do you say?
Mmm, what was the point of this post? My religion… born and bred in Roman Catholicism, which I accepted in my young years as I accepted supernatural events and fairy tales. Agnostic now. If God exists, it (neither male nor female, right?) is so far beyond and above our wits that all attempts to understand it are pure vanity. If it's a myth… you realize the vastness of the inanity of the crimes perpetrated in its name. I hope that God is not only a mental construction.

Saïd taghmaoui could be me, i mean he comes from the same region than me, few kilometers. i'm a mountain environnement guy, he is a plain environnement guy, but same ethinicity. plus he is more handsome than i am. he is of the pure shluh berber masculine beauty, i think.

I want to make clear that my above mentioned statement about my pagan belief has nothing to share with modern-day 'progressive' pagans, wiccans and the rest of the circus. This is a problem that us european traditionalist pagans have encountered recurrently, and many times we have debated the possibility to find a label that will help us not to get confused with supposed pagan organizations that promotes in fact homosexual living, anti-christian feelings, true atheism and many other naive and negative things that have nothing to share with ancient original paganism. Paganism itself is a word shaped by the first christians to mock the followers of the ancient religion. It derives from the latin pagus, which means village, as paganism was more difficult to eradicate outside of the big cities where people were more attached to the ancient customs. Here we came out with some alternative terms, like 'gentiles' (from the latin gentile, greek ethnikós for 'non follower of the religion of the book') or 'roman traditionalist'.
Saluti.

I'm an Asatruar (with Finnish affinities) of a neo-Traditionalist Tribalist persuasion. I don't promote anti-Christianity, and I believe that all people should worship as they want but I promote proper Heathenism/Paganism, and it's Esoteric forms over anything else.

Thousands and even just hundreds of years ago, religious explanations of reality had a certain plausibility. When you have no science and little or no understanding of how or why anything works or has come about, the suggestion that it's all been created, sustained and controlled by some unseen, omnipotent 'supernatural' being or beings is not an altogther unreasonable hypothesis. One could argue that science itself is a religion. Concepts like the big bang theory, which are far are from flawless and do contain inconsistencies, do require faith. Typical statement of people who don't understand the concept of science. As annoying as allways. Eliminate the supernatural and you will have no joy in life. Elimate God and you are nothing but a smart monkey. No thank you. So you admit it's wishfull thinking on your part? (I'm sorry, but I just had to comment) anyway, I'm agnostic

I can't remember if I've replied to this thread or not. I haven't voted so I'm guessing no. Anyway, I'm atheist, like all thinking people. ;D

So, what is it about the general concept of science that I don't understand? Well, I can see I seem a bit rude, sorry about that. Well Science is a method, not an "entity". However, It can seem as a religion to some, that is if you follow the "word of science" without understanding or checking anything yourself. It is certanly not religion to scientists. Maybe my wording is wrong, but hey, that's my English for you.

I'm a Catholic Christian, though I must admit that I'm not very religious. In other words, I believe in God and Jesus Christ and I also acknowledge the Pope, however I rarely attend church on Sundays. I also have a belief (along with many more liberal Christians) that God guided the process of evolution. My parents both share my views and they were both raised as Catholics.

I was raised as a Zen Buddhist.
My parents are non particularly religious and I lived near a Zen Temple, so I always went there when I was a child to do zazen meditation, martial arts and stuff like that, and listened to the Temple's "abbot".
Years ago, looking for my ancestors, I found my family has jewish ancestry. It's strange that, even before, I always had an interest for jewish history and culture. I'm currently taking in consideration conversion to judaism.
