"Paganism"; which faith would you follow?

[Rovanpera]

I'd like to point out that also "syncretic pantheon" should be added as an option, as well as Sumerian mythology.

From these above, given that I'm a Slav, I'd follow ancestors' faith, but I have a sweet spot for Epona from Celtic pantheon and Inanna from Sumerian...

I believe I only have one free option left, and I don't want to have to reset the Poll again... ^-^' Ah, Polytheism; so many faiths to choose from.

[Southern Babylonia]

It doesn't matter. You're not answering the question. Let's assume your notion for a moment and say that in this world, science never reached that level. Now what?

My answer in "I would not follow any because by 2014 science would most likely be much more advanced due to the lack of christianity interfering with it."

I'm not even going to get into that part. Let's say, for whatever other reasons, science had never reached the level of "disproving gods and magic". Which pantheon would you worship? This shouldn't be too hard to answer directly.

[Washington Resistance Army]

Hellenism without a doubt.

[Conscentia]

It is unclear how these cults would evolve over the centuries, and whether they'd have persisted to the modern day.
History would be completely different, so it's not even clear that any individual that could be considered a "parallel me" would even exist.

No problem, then my vote will go for Slavic deities, but with aforementioned reservations and personal reverence towards "imported" goddesses from other pantheons.

Heh, I even somehow consider myself a syncretic neo-pagan, with a strong admixture of pantheism and gradualism...

Ehhh, I think science and development would still result in the human race developing to a more advanced point; though perhaps there'd be little, if any, Industrialism? As each of these faiths were closely tied with worship of Nature and the natural forces of the Earth, so Humans might have held this world of ours in higher regard without Christianity leading us away from what matters most.

You're ignoring the fucking purpose of the thread, if you wouldn't worship any of them don't bother posting because you're threadjacking.

You may be right, but that wasn't my point. I was trying to make a vague hypothetical scenario that'd get him to answer the question, which he's completely refusing to do.

I doubt it. Looking at history, humans appear to be more driven by economics than religion.

Cool story, and easy to say when you live in this world, right now. Now, let's say you're absolutely obliged to pick one, which you may or may not societally be in this alternate world. Which one?

[Rovanpera]

Tengri - cause ol' Genghis feared him.

Romans/Greeks - Alot of Drama

Egyptians - I just love dat civilization.

Finally, Tengri gets some love!

[Ahvulon]

Science would still happen disproving the existence of gods and magic.

Science does not disprove God, and magic is simply science that is not understood.

That being said, since I am of British, German AND Irish heritage... I'm not sure.... Since I live in the USA, I may follow the Native spiritual beliefs...

"I wouldn't worship any of them" is a perfectly valid response to the question of "Which pantheon would you worship".

Well, given the implied parameters for the scenario to work, which you should assume are in place, apparently the "cults" have survived in forms similar to their past ones. As to the "parallel you", that's an obvious point. Again, we should assume you DO exist. Why do you all want to dodge the question so badly?

Show me scientific evidence of gods existence and how is the belief in "auras" science?

The collapse of the roman empire still happened in this scenario... There would still be a dark age, just not a "Christian" one.

If I wanted that opinion, I would have posted the option up in the poll. Though I get the feeling since few people have any deep understanding of these religions (Except some of the more obvious ones, like Hellenism and Norse); I'm not surprised you'd advocate Atheism. Not that I mind, mind; it's just not what I asked and not what I want to hear. This is for fun, friend; to see how many understand the religions and how obscure some are to people. For example; I'm honestly surprised one other person knows what Zalmoxism is.

Just because we don't have evidence of something doesn't mean it's not real. For the majority of human history we didn't know cells existed, but they still did. You are making the claim that science has disproven gods, so show your evidence that it has. Speaking all of this as an atheist.
