Atheists needed to explain how the pagan religions can be accepted nowadays

[felicissimus]

I wonder since so many threads are created anti-christianity how could people explain that so many pagan religions and gods are still allowed to exist,build temples etc .?! I know you will say -freedom etc .
But isn't it obvious the pagan gods cannot exist ? Since so,how are they not banned as a fraude and dangerous dellusion ?!
I need the atheists to lead the attack against the pagan gods since they are famously anti-religious .But if they refuse and start defending it,something will stink here very much ...

One: wrong forum.
Two: wrong language
Three: your view about paganism is very limited. I'll give you an answer when a mod moves this, and I have time to write one.

How is it any more obvious that the pagan gods don't exist than that "God" doesn't exist? If one is obvious fantasy, then what makes the other any different?

An atheist will probably be more than happy to promote pagan religions in order to further discredit "the people of the book", by presenting the fact that there are lots of different religions out there, making each of them seem less credible. It's common for people to overcome differences and create alliances in the face of greater threat. Christianity, for example, is a great threat, like islam, because they make people do incredibly dumb things because of their faith, and in its name. They are powerful religions and could spark world wars. Pagan religions are usually tiny and don't present a threat.

Also, I find the pagan mythologies to be worth conserving and promoting, because they're thought of as being pure myth, while the bible/quran is being held forward to be the absolute truth, despite featuring equally incredible and supernatural stories as the pagan ones. My personal opinion is that all religious texts are a mix of truth and pure fantasy, and I want the bible to be viewed as such, too. In showing people that, "hey, over 2000 years ago, lots of people believed in this and that", an atheist most likely hopes to open the religious eyes to alternative explanations, ultimately making them realize that it's all mostly ********. It's only natural for someone who is convinced about something to try to convince others about it, too.

Naturally, an atheist doesn't accept pagan religions any more than he or she accepts christianity or islam, but pagan religions are minor and don't have any effect on national or international politics. They are not accepted, rather ignored.

Umm.. Freedom of religion?

But isn't it obvious the pagan gods cannot exist ? Since so,how are they not banned as a fraude and dangerous dellusion ?!

For the same reasons christianity isn't banned. As long as they don't break the law or bother anyone, why ban them?

Perhaps some atheists like to be aggressive, but most don't give a crap about any religion. Pagans are usually quite harmless, christianity for example is a massive religion that still affects millions of people's lives. So it's obvious it draws the most criticism.

Where exactly is pagan temples being built????

Do you know what atheist means? It has nothing to do with being anti-Christian or pro-pagan.

fel--I think you are confusing athiests with pagans.

I don't really understand the OP's post. The only real thing I can derive from it is that it's insulting to those of polytheistic beliefs.

[removeduser_426582376423734]

My guess is something to do with Hinduism - a common misconception is that it involves polytheism. It is as polytheistic as Christianity is due to the Trinity, and it uses idolatry as much as the Church uses the cross.

@OP
anti christians and atheists are not the same thing, so i don't understand what the atheists owe you.

no it isn't.

[felicissimus]

Ha ha this is charming .Christianity again... People leave it for a moment and concentrate on your own beliefs . Who will prove me any pagan god exists ? And how is the nonexistance of gods with 6 hands and 6 legs not obvious ,Sidus Preclarum ?! Or the nonexistance of Poseidon ,Hefest and Athena ?

Have you ever heard of Russell's "teapot" analogy?

How is there any less proof for them than for any other 'God'?

I don't understand the logic here. It is impossible to prove that any god exists, pagan or otherwise. There is nothing obvious about any of your argument. Are you trying to say that the belief in the Christian God is more "realistic," for lack of a better term? Bottom line is, any belief in any deity is just as reasonable, or unreasonable, as belief in the next.

It is unfair to ask anyone to prove the existence of any deity.

But isn't it obvious the pagan gods cannot exist ? Since so,how are they not banned as a fraude and dangerous dellusion ?!

This reasoning is just as easily applied to any religion.

...also, Athiests are not Pagans...

All this post does is show a lack of understanding for everything discussed within it.

[felicissimus]

I will assume there are people here that support the thesis the centaures,favnes,harpiae,scyllae,gorgonae,medusae,sphynxes;elfs and faries are a quite real and serious entities .

But why do you think atheists, people who do not believe in any God would be able to explain this?

Because they don't oppose to the paganism,just to christianity .I want to reveal why ?!
