is funny tho

Funny is subjective.

For instance, some people find jokes about Islam funny. I imagine you'd not appreciate them, however.

I was going to make this joke, but speaking ill of the Religion of Peace is a bannable offense on these forums.

Oh, I don't tend to find such jokes funny. I was just trying to point out the poster's hypocrisy.

Oh, no. See, any religion that's not part of the Big Three doesn't really count as a religion. *nods*

Well for one you used the correct term.

I despise the corruption by certain authorities in Christendom from its original meaning of country dweller.

Yes, I'm aware. I'm in the same boat, but whistleblowers report my nation for nearly anything these days.

Yeah, I do as well. Especially since it's now a sort of derrogatory term.

Sort of ironic, the name of this thread.

[Nature-Spirits]

Well, not all pagans are necessarily polytheists, so there's that. *shrugs*

I can't think of any, can you?

not really since that makes up 50% of most threads on religion and like 75% of posts on "multiculturalism" threads . You'd just get dogpiled by a couple of well known liberal nations and a flame war would start.

Some forms of Tengriism. And there was the Native american "Great Spirit" religion that's arguably monotheistic. I have no idea how many of the Egyptian pagans here worship Aten either.

Hinduism also has a tradition in which all the Devas and spiritual beings are but emanations of the Brahman. Which is in accordance with the teachings of the Upanishads and a pretty popular form of it if my Hindu friends can be trusted on the subject.

Well, some could be classified as pantheists or panentheists. Many more would be better classified as animists than as polytheists, although there can definitely be overlap between the two. It depends on how broad of a scope you're using in your definition, really.

Most of the pagans I've met are pagan for nationalist reasons. Like African Americans getting into Kemetism, Some Whites getting into Nordic/Celtic paganism, and generally Indigenous Peoples trying to get back to their roots.

Do you guys think that being pagan as a response to ethnic history and a sense of national pride is healthy?

Personally I see nothing wrong with it. Even if I don't believe the ideology, people all have their way of showing pride in their heritage.

There seems to be alot of Turks returning to the worship of Tengri since their ancestors did it. Most are from the intellectual class who tend to dislike the current government. Not all of them are like that though.

Depends on how far they take their national pride, really. It's good to be proud of your identity, but it's bad to take that the the extent that you think your group is superior to others'.

Yeah. I've noticed that too somewhat. although it's not many of them. Most Azeris and Turkish who practice it make it syncretic with other faiths. It happens all across Central Asia to a limited but pretty notable extent, as well.

Elbegdorj,The current Mongolian President apparently converted to some version of it.

Yeah. but seeing your heritage as great and celebrating it is often confused with you thinking your heretage is "superior" these days.

And sometimes your culture's practices really are superior to some other peoples.
