Well, analytical, long, very long, but an interesting read. I always thought it is good to hear other people’s opinions. “Pagans.... many gods. How many times have these gods ever did anything miraculous? Why does it take several?” We have many Gods, yes. And you have one God, and Satan, and all those other Angels. Many of your Angels can trace their roots to ancient Pagan culture. For example, Hiemdahl was a Vanir who guarded the base of the bridge Bifrost. His job was to sound his horn when Ragnarok (the end of the world) approached. Sound familiar? Or keeping with the Asatru religion, one of Odin’s sons was what could be termed evil and malicious, always trying to trick people into giving up their possessions or doing naughty things. Sound familiar? And let us not forget the mighty Thor, the God people would pray to, to be avenged if they were viciously wronged in some way. Sound familiar? Concerning “miracles” as defined by your Church, there are innumerable instances of Pre-Christian Gods and Goddesses resurrecting and healing people, inspiring mortals in song, art, and prose, fooling around with mortals and making babies (sound familiar?), relieving drought, destroying invading foes (The Divine Wind of Japan for instance) etc, etc. You tell me to “read a book” when perhaps you should, literature is dripping with ancient miracles ascribed to the old Pagan Gods. Pagan “miracles” occur even today, every time a Pagan helps someone to heal themselves, or casts a divination, or speaks with the dead. All are accomplished with the help of our Gods and Goddesses. We did not arise from a Patriarchal society, as did Zionism and Xianism, so our Goddesses are just as divine as our Gods, and hold equal importance among our religions. That concept bleeds over into our society structure. I find it strange that woman Fundamentalists defends her own subjugation. That is not said out of any sense of cruelty or malicious intent; it’s a fact, according to your own scripture. Just out of pure curiosity, I don’t ever recall a female angel being referenced to; I would truly be interested to hear of any, it may be an oversight on my part.
