@sim@noyoushutthefuckupdad it was a response to this. Instead of making a similar approach to promote Calvinism, this guy proceeded to just ban the whole thing altogether.
@MK2boogaloo@sim I saw some screeching because Luce has the same first syllable as Lucifer. I wonder if they also throw a tantrum when they see the word lux in relation to light intensity.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad@MK2boogaloo@sim i also think if the catholic church isn't subverted like it is now people wouldn't have issues with that name either
@toiletpaper@noyoushutthefuckupdad@sim for someone so high on the idea that might is right you're thinking too much about the appropriation of pagan temples. This is the truth eh? Might is right. Pagans converted to Christianity through might, as thus it is the holy truth neo-pagans denied.
It's okay. Our Gods don't want you. You think Pagans died out, but we invented the idea of resurrection. You just bastardised an idea you don't even understand.
Hell, even the Church of the Nativity and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, are originally temples to Aphrodite and Adonis built by Hadrian in the 2nd century CE. You can't even get your own holy sites without just stealing someone else's and changing the name and date long after the fact.
As to the Irminsul ... it's a tree. It left a lot of acorns on the ground.
@toiletpaper@MK2boogaloo@noyoushutthefuckupdad@sim Paganism will never be a real religion. You have no metaphysics, you have no theology, you have no continuity. You partake in a homosexual LARP, you turned by contrarianism and resentment to a crude mockery of God’s perfection. All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your "shrine" of Halloween store junk behind closed doors. Wise men are utterly repulsed by paganism. Thousands of years of theology have allowed them to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even "historically accurate" paganism looks uncanny and unnatural to a layman. Your "Gods" being Marvel characters is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a gullible guy to worship with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your decrepit, festering "Temple" in your room. You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself you're Wotan's strongest wolf, but deep inside you feel the humiliation creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight. Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll go to Church, repent, take up your cross, and plunge into Christ's warm embrace. Your parents will find you, grateful and relieved that their son who was once dead now lives. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with the cross, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know Christian man is buried there. Your body will resurrect and rejoin the Lord, and all that will remain of your legacy is an unmistakably penitent man. This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
