Pagans what do you think about this one?

Question

Yet the evil influences of pagan attitudes toward sex and relationships subtly affect even the church world.
I just read this as a response to a question and am torn between laughter and throwing my computer across the room. I'm Pagan and I have a better marriage than most Christians I know. It goes against my respect for my husband which is not acceptable. I guess I am once again trying to take down the church! LOL

I mean unfaithfulness goes against the respect of my husband. Re-reading that it doesn't make sense...

Answer 1

Yes, once again, Pagans are causing all the evils of the world. And the homosexuals, and the athiests, etc. Despite the fact that we make up a miniscule portion of the population, especially in the US, we are to blame for everything.

I'm kind of proud, actually. Just by doing my job and being a nice person, I can contribute to the corruption and destruction of the world. Who knew it could be this easy?

Answer 2

What astonishes me about your quoted statement is the inherent ignorance church followers have of the roots of the church itself. All monotheism has it's roots firmly planted in the soil of the Old Religion. All you need do is look to their rituals and you will see from where they sprang. And regarding sex and human relationships?

Pagans recognize and understand the purely creative nature of sex. Thus, instead of it being hated, feared and labeled a sin, it is celebrated and honored as the act that not only joins two people together, but the act that results in the greatest of all creations. A child. How anyone can view this beautiful expression of human physicality as a sin is completely beyond me. Thus I honestly think that the early church created this mind-set in order to separate itself from the people and root beliefs that formed the foundation of the church. It was also used as a means to control believers. Thus, when you look at it from its true purpose, Pagan attitudes towards sex and human relationships is superior, more real, and far more true when compared to the church's attitudes simply because it recognizes its divine creative expression and result. Consequently...

Church attitudes towards sex and human relationships is in fact far more evil than those of the people who call themselves Pagan or Wiccan.

Answer 3

When a person or group believes themselves to be an authority on absolute truth, there is no longer a need to look outside of onself or group to learn or experience more. That is the danger and the decadence of the Christian church. They do not know, nor do they care, as they proceed nodding their heads to each other along the road of life. I guess, for the superflous, ignorance is indeed bliss. Let them go about their nodding. Perhaps they will soon nod off.

Answer 4

Well, for some reason the Catholic roots of the Christian Church encouraged denying human nature as the ultimate way to pay homage to the devine. To me thats the BIG difference between us and Christians as it comes to sex. I wouldn't want to be married either if I thought sex were sinful, I mean, that's the whole fun of being married... O.o

Anyways, thanks for fighting on the front of the verbal crusade for pagans!!!!!!!!!!! :D LOLOL

Answer 5

So . . . believing sex is healthy and worth doing well is an "evil influence"? Whodathunkit?

I'll grant that as a serial monogamist (the REAL American norm, lol) I've, well, racked up quite the tally. But that's just time served, not profligacy or licentiousness. Well, maybe licentiousness. I *am* a Freyrsman, after all. :-)

Answer 6

LOLOL

"They" have figured out my EVIL plan - to be happily married and enjoy my husband sexually and RULE THE WORLD!!!
hahahaha!

Humans and dolphins are the only animals that have sex for pleasure. Hmmm...I guess we all know where the dolphins go after they die! How hard is it to swim in a lake of fire anyway?

Answer 7

Well of course they call everyone outside the church evil. Ignore that. You know what you are. It is a way of thinking, us VS them, that segregates the church and really enslaves the minds of the members.

Answer 8

Funny, I've a 26 year monogamous lesbian marriage (we're both Pagan) and we've still both beaten the divorce rates for our age groups.... says something, doesn't it?

Answer 9

We'll always be hated by some of them. Laugh it off.

Answer 10

If your husband or wife was killed and you were given $5,000,000 for it, would that keep you quiet as to how they truly died? check this video and tell me if that makes sense...
