Even the real daemons are just spirits it's the Christians who literally demonized them.
The idiocy goes back more than a millenium.
If Christians are idiots then so are the "pagans", religion is religion. Don't defend one because you hate another.
No not really, Christianity is full of contradictions that cannot be reconciled and has a hard line book they must follow (filled with said contradictions). Paganism, as a belief structure, was essentially buried so individuals are working of off their own ideas that can be as varied as the practitioners (afaik, I'm not a neo pagan). Christianity isn't bad because you have to believe on something, no matter what the reddit atheist will tell you, it's bad because of what you have to believe.
I'm sure all those sites of human sacrifice and other barbarity don't really exist and were really those evil Christians. Neopagans are aping religions that were rarely peaceful, I mean how many war gods did the Norse peoples alone have?
So, you a reddit atheist or an idiot?
Agnostic more or less, I just despise unfair double standards
