Seriously, don't you give a ****? You are making a mockery of real seekers and you don't care. You can't even respond when challenged.Is that a soup recipe when read backwards?
You're just blathering. Is this your only hobby?Seriously, don't you give a ****? You are making a mockery of real seekers and you don't care. I'm starting to think you have some kind of disorder. You can't even respond when challenged.
No, my aim is to drag this thread right into the mire where it belongs. I'm not going to let you get away with pretending to be part of a religion you are not. Not when there are real people having real struggles with this and you just go merrily pretending to be this or that.You're just blathering. Is this your only hobby?
Thats bizarre. And you have no business telling anyone what to practice etc.No, my aim is to drag this thread right into the mire where it belongs.

I have changed religions sincerely and gone through a lot of soul searching. I've also stayed as any given religion for a much longer period of time. Also, I've only been three: Zoroastrian, Christian, Noahide.Thats bizarre. And you have no business telling anyone what to practice etc.
Btw you have changed religions, so this is very hypocritical,

I'm actually a syncretic, not randomly changing religions on a whim.
You're just some random person talking at me in a "general announcement"thread. I'm not interested in your bad suppositions, and this probably isn't a debate forum.You've missed the point entirely. It's not that you're changing religions; it's your reason for changing your religious affiliation. You're not doing it out of a sincere belief - you're doing it so you can "present perspective arguments". It sounds like you're adopting a label just so you can argue or debate from the perspective's of that religions followers. Such casual use & abandoning of labels is a slap in the face to people who've engaged in intense introspection about what they believe and what they sincerely wish to identify as or don't.
Syncretism is about taking parts of a variety of belief systems which make sense to you; not about changing your label every other day just because "I've presented all the [insert religious belief] perspective arguments, I wanted to.". It looks suspiciously like this is exactly what you're doing - changing religions on a whim.
It's okay, Rival. The best opportunity to present education and proper presentation is in the presence of ignorance. This is good to know for the future, when mistakes and misrepresentation are brought to the table.No, my aim is to drag this thread right into the mire where it belongs.

As a syncretic, I think I've presented all the xian perspective arguments, I wanted to. I'm changing emphasis to Germanic religion./another aspect of the syncreticism. Changed dirs

Which Germanic Religion? There's about a dozen out there. It's like saying you're a Christian and other Christians want to know if you're Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, etc. You can be a Norse, Anglo-Saxon and West Germanic Pagan but many people don't mix those because they came from different groups of tribes. There's also sub-groups like Odinism.
She was just asking what form of Germanic religion you follow. Wasn't trying to be insulting.Seems off topic for this bizarre thread. Also not sure why you're asking me, anyways.
That being said I'm not exclusively norse, and not part of any of those groups.
Contextually, paganism, /I was a pagan years ago, as well,
Has changed somewhat in the groupings. I used to be more of a general pagan, now more specific.
If something arises in a thread I might address it, but I dont do the insulting discussion garbage, so that is it for now.

Does seem like the wrong thread for it, imo.She was just asking what form of Germanic religion you follow. Wasn't trying to be insulting.
While there are differences - notably in the names used for continental and island deities (e.g. Ēostre/Ostara [CT] | Iðunn [IS]) - they're practically similar so much so in that they're all recognized as Heathenry (Germanic Paganism). I mean, yes, we have the separations (and some deities exist in one and not the other, or hierarchies are different) but it's not a huge rift, and we all pretty much get along. There won't be such huge differences in where Donnar is not the son of Wotan, for example.Which Germanic Religion? There's about a dozen out there.

Wondering which cultural tradition of Germanic Paganism you're exploring into is off-topic? And you're not sure why they're asking you about the endeavor that you are setting out on? Without debate, I have to wonder if you know just what you're doing.Seems off topic for this bizarre thread. Also not sure why you're asking me, anyways.
How can you address something if you don't know it?If something arises in a thread I might address it,
