and while there are many forms of santa dharma???? or whatever the correct term for Hinduism IS.... There is at least one form that advocates all the numerous "Gods" as manifestations of one "God" ......... In Judaism, we find, unlike in the translatted Bible, there are numerous names of God (Despite the assertion that God's name is YHVH)... if we look deeper into Jewish mysticism, there are numerous (well over 50) names for God, and like the above example of Hinduism, these names can be considred to be the way God manifests... and not actually God's name.... to conclude: Paganism is a polytheistic religion (in whatever form)...but it can be like the above examples. Afterall, Hindusim which IS a pagan religion, is rather darn OLD

I'm a monotheist... pantheist... Most first nations people I've met are... does that make us "not pagan"?

It seems that the term Pagan is(has become) useless. It's to broad a term and people can't really agree on what it means. Some will say it any religion that's not Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. Some will say that, but only if there of a European origin. And then there are other that will say Paganism is Just any Earth-Based(Nature) Religion. So PW what do you like? Are you a Pagan? ^_^

Altars: Check Sacrifices: Incense, symbolic sacrifice of the Son of God Multiple deities: Holy Trinity, all one Ancestor reverence: Not so much. However, Saints may be considered a substitution. Respect for the Earth: There is a long tradition within the church of respect for the earth, though it has been unevenly applied through the centuries.
