"Paganism"; which faith would you follow?

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

No, I'm responding to his "2014 science would most likely be much more advanced due to the lack of christianity interfering with it" statement with scientific evidence of he evils of cHRISIANITY and gOD.

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

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.

Whether you want the opinion or not, there are going to be people who hold that opinion, making the part in blue immaterial.

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.

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?

I'm not dodging the question. The answer was implied: I don't know.

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...

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

Other than experiences that 'science' denies possible (me being born, for one, according to doctors, neither me nor my sister should be here), there is none. It's hard to prove something that lies at the very foundation of everything. As for 'auras', like I said, magic is science that we do not yet understand. Also, many 'aura-readers' have been proven fake.

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.

We also have no evidence of unicorns not living on the moon, should we also believe in them?

We've been to the moon, no unicorns there. So nope.

I think you have some notion, given what you probably know of your ancestry and, as I said, the parameters necessary for this hypothetical to function. At this point, I think you just have an issue with answering the question because you don't like to picture yourself worshipping any deity.

Fair enough, I suppose. People have the opinions they'll have, based upon their understanding of and passion towards a subject, among other things. On that note, however; I'll take answers pertaining to atheism as a lack of understanding of the subject materiel, to any degree. This isn't to diminish anyone's intelligence, it's just a sign that few can differentiate between the horribly corrupt Christian/Muslim churches and how very differently traditional faiths operated from what we modern peoples associate with Religion.

1.We've been to the moon, 2.they would've seen the unicorns.

1. No we haven't
2. I live in Canada, I've never met someone from South Africa.

[Ahmedistan]

Probably Hellenism since I'm partly Greek. It also seems the most "civilised" of all the pagan faiths.

Other than experiences that 'science' denies possible (me being born, for one, according to doctors, neither me nor my sister should be here)¹, there is none. It's hard to prove something that lies at the very foundation of everything². As for 'auras', like I said, magic is science that we do not yet understand.³ Also, many 'aura-readers' have been proven fake.

1: Uh-huh. What scientific principles did your birth violate?
2: Oddly enough, physicists are managing just fine on that front...
3: What a pathetic cop-out.

Unless the unicorns were not native to the small part of the moon that we visited...

Of course the Celts, Romans, and Greek oppressed science and euphoric enlightenment. I mean Socrates died for this shit.

1. It was a medical matter with our mother.
2. Which means they're simply getting closer to finding God.
3. You may have missed that last part about people claiming to see auras have been proven as fakes.

Pathetic cop-out? Ironic, considering that you're refusing to answer the question of the thread.

1: So, none.
2: Assuming there is one (or more), which is a huge (and baseless) assumption.
3: Still a pathetic cop-out.

Socrates was anti-democracy which is why he was tried.

Ladies and Gentlemen; let's not turn this into a war between Pagans and Atheists, now... Our mutual enemy is Christianity/Islam, after all.

At no point have I refused to answer the question of the thread. In fact, my very first post was a direct and concise answer to the question.

No our enemy would be Judaism and Islam as Christianity is a jewish cult at the time.

Your first post merely stated your present-day, real life scenario opinion on the matter of pagan faiths. Pretty much a cop-out.
