It seems to me that unless the pagan religions accept the one true God of the Abrahamic religions they are no more tolerant than the Abrahamic religions. The polytheists and the monotheists are at odds with each other by virtue of what they believe -- many gods vs. one God.
It’s not a matter of intolerance on the part of Pagans, it’s a matter of non-acceptance, non-belief, indifference. The intolerance I see is on the part of the monotheists... if I had a nickel for every time I was called, or heard a Hindu or Pagan called an idol-worshiper, fooled by demons, worshiper of false gods and the whole litany, I could buy my own island. That and being called to repent and accept Jesus in my heart. I mentioned earlier that just today a “Christian” lady called me a dirty rotten sinner” because I don’t worship Yahweh, being deceived by the devil; but I’ll rethink my ways when I stand before Yahweh to be judged. Unfortunately, she told me, it will be too late. That doesn’t sound very tolerant to me.
But I have yet to hear Pagans or Hindus do the same. Hinduism acknowledges the existence of gods outside the Hindu pantheon as being all part of One. I accept the existence of Yahweh, but I don’t worship him any more than I worship the Yoruba Orishas, though I acknowledge their existence.
So to sum it up, Pagans are far more tolerant and respectful of the Abrahamic religions than vice versa. Unless I’m misinterpreting it, your own statement “
unless the pagan religions accept the one true God of the Abrahamic religions” is as intolerant as it gets. Have I misunderstood? It happens.
