yeah, but only figuratively speaking.
compare to this going down literally.
The word ALMOST is kinda key there mate 
Did it occur to you guys that perhaps they spared me because I date their daughter? Love is at least as powerful as hatred. 
edit:
nyuk nyuk… gah…
nope it’s not. they, figuratively speaking, almost killed him. they did not, literally speaking, almost kill him.
so? fuck it. I can match any amount of aggression/oppression with sufficient amounts of hate to stop it dead in its tracks and make people think twice before having a second go. I have an infinite supply. The bottleneck is how much you can throw at me and how quickly your neck breaks (or mine). That might kill me some day, but until then it barely touches me; 30 seconds later I can smile at someone who did NOT fuck with me with the purity of a newborn.
In contrast, I can NOT muster infinite love to do that in all occasions. And I generally do have a lot of it… but apart from the natural amount I produce on my own, it gets generated by LOVE, not hate, so if you threw me amongst a bunch of muslims who tried to force their shit on me, it would be either them or me. You can make your jokes, I make my thought experiments.
therefore, infinite hate > finite love. oh, and: 
. gah.
I agree to the most of your phylosophy
It’s just:
I had no choice to be baptized, and there is no way to get unbaptized once you’re fucked. Hell, my parents and theirs and and theirs and so on were forced by cultural values to do so, - it’s like a family gang: once you’re born in it, you can’t get out. And that is one of the basic reasons that all three Abrahamic religions deserve nothing but my disgust.
edit:
I realized or remembered something the other day. I knew it before, I just forget everything all the time, keeps me sane I think. 
Salem had witch hunts, it was big.
JeruSalem, word play, people love to do that stuff with translations. We see it all the time with symbolism and whatever.
Judaism, is the root of Pagan literature and writings, it’s kind of interesting or spooky reading up on it.
Judaism being completely based on math (logic) and spirituality (faith) those 2 areas of study, governed sometimes separately by each hemisphere of the brain. Of which both Islam and Christianity are also rooted.
Another thing is Semite, basically means a person that speaks a semetic language, which covers most all of the people historically originating in the middle east region, but anti-semite or anti-semetic traditionally only covers Jewish people.
the word ‘pagan’ comes from the latin word ‘paganus’ (of the country, rustic, villager, country-dweller, non-militant). As christians see called themselves ‘milites’ (soldiers), those country-dwellers that were not in their ‘army’ were soon to be called pagans (heathens). As for judaism, pagan means as much as gentile from latin ‘gentilis’ (clan, family) current meaning non-jew; and the islamic words ‘kafir’ and ‘mushrik’ meaning infidel.
It’s true that a lot of neo-paganists wallow themselves in a potpourri of the three monotheistic religions, but it’s historical the other way around from what you state: polytheism was the root of monotheism.
Look at the way Christianity took over many of the Pagan sites and celebrations. Why do all church yards have yew trees? Why do all the religious festivals fall within just a few days of the long running pagan festivals and harvests/planting rituals? They have taken it from being to do with nature and the cycle of the planet around the sun and changed it to have a bogus, religious angle but if you look they are essentially all the same thing and is an obvious hijacking of celebrations based around the workings of the seasons and nature to spread their religion to regions they considered heathen. Lot easier to get people to follow you if it doesn’t seem they are having to change their ways that much.
Not Christians, Roman Catholics, the ones who basically interpret the bible to whatever they want and however need it to fit their agenda. (hence the crusades)
Just like the muslim extremists are to Islam really.
Reminds me, I just watched Valhala Rising the other day.
I guess what I meant to say is it’s all the same thing. A part of our brain.
All of that stimulates a distinct area of the brain. I see it as the premise of why somebody wrote that line to the effect if God didn’t exist, we would create one. We are hardwired for it.
Religion is overrated.
so is apathy ^^
Pff, whatever. God is a DJ.
The other side of that story is as follows:
Christians’ refusal to join pagan celebrations meant they were unable to participate in much of public life. This refusal caused non-Christians to fear that the Christians were angering the gods. In the late 3rd century, when emperors decreed that the Empire’s military, political, and economic crises were caused by angry gods, a series of more centrally organized persecutions of Christians emerged. All residents were ordered to give sacrifices or be punished.
“Takeover” of celebrations seems more like a compromise that backfired for the pagans, in retrospect.
The three roots to modern christianity are Miaphysite, Assryian, and Catholic. If you don’t know the first two, then you’re just a branch of the latter making shit up in retrospect and reaction.
PS: Not religious.
So much disinformation in this that you can quote different people and use different scholars sources to prove whatever angle you want to a fairly substantiated level.
For example, for people who don’t know at least some of the parallels (don’t know how good the site is, barely checked the front page, was one of the first from a quick Google search.)
A lot of people have been heavily quoting Zeitgeist and that film has more contradictions and discontinuities of almost anything I have watched. Shame as it does also have some very good points and the fact it mixes these up with ones that are so patently deniable and false I think did it more damage than good (for people who can be bothered to question it, which is actually what it was asking you to do the whole way through so may of been at least partially intentional even if I feel it did more harm than good in the long run.)
Being from Western Europe and talking about our native/pagans beliefs and now they were bastardised by Christianity it should be fairly obvious I am talking about Catholic in the main. I know that this by no means cover the whole of Christianity but it is what most of us think about it relation to the term.
I’m not denying Catholicism borrows heavily from Pagan rituals, all I’m saying is that Christianity requires its adherents to renounce all other gods and in antiquity this was a radical concept. Pagans wanted the rituals, Christians wanted one god. Compromises were made. Oral history of regional legends turned into the telephone game. Everything morphed together rather violently and deceitfully. The whole thing is a mess, sects within sects, pope against pope, everything is interrelated. This isn’t exclusive to pagans. Caribbean branches of christianity have a lot of voodoo traditions in them, for example.
Simply put: Renoise is not NoiseTrekker, but without NoiseTrekker there would be no Renoise. Or: You can’t be german without a nazi past. Doesn’t make you a nazi, just makes you a german.
My point is, Christians believe they are the one true faith, but have been fighting over which version since the beginning, assimilating everything in it’s path because that’s the point. Arguing over which is better, hundreds of years out of context, with Catholicism being the root for most everyone, is just stupid. What would jesus do? He’s say “Wait, what? Not sure what you guys have been doing for the last 2000 years, but, I’m a jew…”
Religious texts are simply data and instructions like software.
Christian Bible; basic instructions for leaving earth.
Go Shinto!
Go Norse!
