Right-Wing Discussion Thread XVI: Making Things Right Again

[Novus America]

Our records on many of the exact details are incomplete or contradictory.
So it takes a lot of research and some guess work I would imagine.

Hellenism and the Roman faith are largely fine in that regard due to being so incredibly well preserved, excluding the aptly named mystery cult deities where UPG does come into effect.

Also why does RWDT always become a theology thread lol

Fair point.

The reason is we have so many theocrats here, trying to sell their theocracy.

[Al Mumtahanah]

You ever think that maybe your god is kind of an ass?

No.

If you do fall to temptation in wayward inclination you should not tell others about it, it sets a bad example. Repent before Allah (may He be Glorified and Exalted), not man.

Thank you for your concern.

Afwan, may God reward you with goodness for your unwavering and outspoken support for Islam.

[Novus America]

Religious freedom includes the right to have no religion. Or your own.

That's taking things a bit far.

Then you do not believe in freedom of religion. Just be honest about it.

Certain battles have to be fought.

And others do not. Besides Egypt is Hanafi but does not recognize Buddhism.
Yes some Muslim regimes allowed Buddhism to exist, others not.

Just look at what happened to the Buddhas of Bamiyan in Afghanistan.

I'm fairly certain that no Islamic state is going to tolerate temples with Buddhist deities in them.

The Taliban had it coming.

What you call "shady medieval texts" are infact divine revelation from the Creator (swt), and are the source of any legitimate law.

Uh huh. We are not buying what you are selling.
And if they are from your god, he is not a very nice god.

Yeah its not a good God. Obviously doesnt has exactly the best intentions for mankind.

[Al Mumtahanah]

Wait, you practice antiquity style paganism?

To the best of my ability.

Are you Greek? I know they have a world organization for that.

[Nakena]

Go ahead and prove that assertion, if you please.

Read the Quran. Like I said it's not my job to convince you or turn you into a muslim.

Question of the evening: What turned you into one? Was it, as NGR postulates some recruiter? Or more likely looking you for something you couldn find elsewhere?

[Al Mumtahanah]

That's a pretty recent development.

>Prove that the Qu’ran is the word of God!
>lol just read the Qu’ran

Circular logic, ladies and gentlemen.

[Al Mumtahanah]

Not to the degree you do.

[Washington Resistance Army]

To the best of my ability.

American, though I do have some books put out from Greek organizations that are of superb quality.

So you use the Homeric Hymns for prayers?

[Al Mumtahanah]

Circular logic, ladies and gentlemen.

The Qur'an contains quite a bit of discourse on why it should be believed, it isn't Fideist.

Most of the time, yes. Though some of the Orphic Hymns are also quite nice.

Let me guess. It’s “beautiful composition.”

Have you read the Orphic Argonautica?

[Al Mumtahanah]

That's not what I was referring to and it is only obliquely mentioned once in the Qur'an.

[Washington Resistance Army]

Have you read the Orphic Argonautica?

A long while back, I wouldn't mind giving it another read eventually but I'm always trying to get my hands on so many books it would probably get pushed back a long while before I finally did.

You’re going to have to be more specific, then.

I heard it is considered a holy text by pagans. I only read the regular Argonautica in translation, Rodney Merrill, his Homeric Hymns is also fine. I don't know if you read Greek?

[Duvniask]

Never did find out from Al Mumtahanah what kind of "religious freedom" an Islamic state would have in store for me or anyone like me.

I'll let you know when your religion has texts or oral traditions.

I went over this a bit in the Islamic thread, you were there.

I don't really consider it a holy text, most of us don't really claim to have anything like that really. Hellenism, and indeed most other forms of reconstructionism, is more orthopraxic and concerned with correct action rather than orthodoxic and stressing correct belief in things like holy texts. Indeed large parts of interpretation are often left up to the individual practitioner because sadly most of us aren't in formal groups.

I do not read Greek lol, it's a rather intimidating alphabet imo. Besides English I very casually dabble in Akkadian/Babylonian on a purely recreational and historical interest basis but little more, besides a decent bit of Latin cuz I use RWDT and honestly if you don't want to destroy Carthage do you even belong here

And if I lack religion? I suppose there's no place for my kind anywhere in such a state?

All the more reason to oppose you and your ilk if that is truly the case.
