>>18932721Paganism is a more complex version of the same stuff, except Paganism isn't idol worship because it recognizes the universal applicability of the same lessons in a variety of situations. Christians are stuck in one specific narrative in linear time and are prepared to be suicidally swept away by that linear time. Pagans believe in cyclical time which is why human belief systems always begin and end with Pagan foundations. Nothing is truly over so long as there's a protagonism that aspires to virtue and the attainment of wisdom that directs us back to virtue. Paganism is only as sloppy as the inner constitution of the pagan in question. Paganism understands that wisdom requires the observation of vice/chaos as the potential pool of energy that the actuality of virtue/order draws from, a pagan that cannot yet actualize virtue and simply swims in the pool of potential as one would observe is more than likely a man of vice and not a good example of a virtuous pagan. The limitlessness of Paganism is only the first half of the process, just as the weakness and open ended ignorance of a boy is only the first half of what could one day grow up to be a Man, the two are not antagonistic to one another but one is still to be considered the incomplete version of the other, which is complete. A complete Pagan can dispell vice where a Christian couldn't even comprehend it's there.
Christians have God, and even sometimes virtue, but they do not have wisdom, they miss much of the trials and development inherent in that process which is why they usually lack answers other than "muh jesus" and cultlike bible thumping. Christianity is like starting up a game and only ever being able to play the last level and missing out on every previous level. It is very much a suitable endpoint, but a dysfunctional beginning and middle. Christians can't observe the obvious role of the components in other religions or how it fits into God's perfect creation, because they are ignorant.
