Literature refuting paganist practices? I feel sad for these people larping as pagans and talking about """self-initiation""" and "seeking more legal power in the mundane world", practices Guenon (with all his faults) refuted retroactively and eternally.

Why are modern people so against simply accepting Christ? What do the /lit/ scholars think about this?

He would refute modern pagans on the basis of having no legitimate initiation, which he argues is necessary to enable one to even start on the spiritual path.

Paganism can't be unlearned because it is the very nature of reality seen through and in sociality. It can only be hidden with abstractions and a firm top-down control by the brahmin classes.

But yes, there will be a lot of illegitimate larping until people start realizing that paganism isn't just Christianity but with Zeus. Unfortunately because of historical accidents this phenomena is increased because of the globalized world being wholly in the control of the anglo, especially in new media which is what most people consume today(including pagans).

Once again, more jew tricks. Why don’t you own your embarrassing doctrine for once in your life. Your doctrine tells people to love their enemies, that your jew god is love, etc., etc. If that’s your opinion, then SJW shit will be attracted to it like flies to a turd. Furthermore, the centralized nature of your religion further enforces this doctrine. European polytheism is completely different in this regard. For starters, it has no centralized doctrine. It is a localized, decentralized phenomenon, with a whole range of beliefs and doctrines. This creates a flexibility that is completely lacking from your jew cult. Also, this means that suicidal doctrines like the ones you subscribe to can never dominate, because of the healthy, self organizing nature of polytheism. Of course you have hippy dippy variants of polytheism, but since this isn’t locked in place, the polytheist can always look elsewhere if the doctrine doesn’t satisfy his needs. That is the big difference between the jew monotheist, whose doctrines have been dictated from above and cannot adapt to a hostile, ever changing environment. This is why polytheism is superior to monotheism, and certainly to your flavor of monotheism.

Localism is the future, centralization is the past. Simple as that

>Well eternal matter wouldn't be a sign of modernity
Making matter co-eternal with God is a clear sign of crypto-materialism and worship of matter. They weren't decadent enough to openly worship it, but one needed only to wait a few millennia before the full force of their teaching bore fruit.
>modernity is a single era
And the larger principle behind its degenerate beliefs started long before instagram. One could argue it was the idol-worshiping Hindus who shipped their crypto-materialist views to Greece, which then fueled every heresy you see today in the Hellenic-influenced world.

No such thing as. This is another centralized pipe dream. Humans cannot possess the Truth, only the gods can. Our ancestors lived perfect happy with this fact for literally millennia. They knew they had to make decisions based on incomplete information. We always have, and we always will. Such is life. Everything in life boils down to taking risks, because the information you have of your world always has been incomplete and always will be incomplete. This means that every action in life must take dedication, and that above, you will carry your risk. No one can take your risk for you. There are no magical rabbis in life to bail you out. That’s simply not how life works. It never has worked like that and never will work like that.

Honestly, if absolute truth is what you’re looking for, absolute certainty to hold onto no matter what happens, you might as well give up on life entirely. Life is risky business, and there is nothing that can take that away from you. That means you’ll make due with what you have, and that your pipedreams of a fixed truth that will allow you to breeze through life without any obstacles is just that, a pipedream.

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light: true God of true God; begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made;
Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from the heavens, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man;
And was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried;
And arose again on the third day according to the Scriptures; And ascended into the heavens, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father; And shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life; Who proceedeth from the Father; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spake by the prophets.
In One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, And the life of the age to come.

Misunderstanding Latin etymology. He tries to argue that Jupiter is actually a homosexual by misunderstanding what the epithet "Farreus" ("cake"), literally "Jupiter of the Cakes", as the most sacred of forms of Roman marriage (a man and woman meeting as equals) was symbolically consummated by the giving of cakes, blessed by Jupiter (the literal cakes Jupiter Farreus is the god of).

Augustine, being a Semite, didn't have a good grasp on Roman Religion.

Acts 1:15-26 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
15 In those days Peter stood up among the believers[a] (together the crowd numbered about one hundred twenty persons) and said, 16 “Friends,[b] the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit through David foretold concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus— 17 for he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.” 18 (Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness; and falling headlong,[c] he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. 19 This became known to all the residents of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their language Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms,

‘Let his homestead become desolate,
and let there be no one to live in it’;

and

‘Let another take his position of overseer.’

21 So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these must become a witness with us to his resurrection.” 23 So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed and said, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which one of these two you have chosen 25 to take the place[d] in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” 26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was added to the eleven apostles.

>HOW PAUL BECAME AN APOSTLE
11 My friends, I want you to know that no one made up the message I preach. 12 It wasn’t given or taught to me by some mere human. My message came directly from Jesus Christ when he appeared to me.

13 You know how I used to live as a Jew. I was cruel to God’s church and even tried to destroy it. 14 I was a much better Jew than anyone else my own age, and I obeyed every law that our ancestors had given us. 15 But even before I was born, God had chosen me. He was kind and had decided 16 to show me his Son, so that I would announce his message to the Gentiles. I didn’t talk this over with anyone. 17 I didn’t say a word, not even to the men in Jerusalem who were apostles before I was. Instead, I went at once to Arabia, and afterwards I returned to Damascus.

Have some self-awareness for once.

Straw manning an unorganized and abstract "paganism" does not excuse your disastrous slave doctrine. A doctrine which promotes and arms the lowest class, like a union against hierarchy.

All of the Christian arguments In this thread are extremely pilpul. Id treat a Christian fair if he could at least show respect for his ancestors beliefs before the rise of Christianity, which is not as old as you people think.
Setting spirit and ideology against blood and earth is a terribly Jewish thing to do. They should be joined together. But Christianity can't join with our blood, it is far too foreign for the best of us.

Paganism isn't one thing but a collection of learning/thinking/practising/LARPing about prechristian, transitioning christian, and postchristian folk customs of one's ancestors. Actually in a lot of cases even broader than that, extrapolating some universal truths from ethnic customs somehow. I've seen a few so-called pagans that just use the name to mean anti-christian (these types are mostly of the liberal-progressivist orthodoxy and so thoroughly secular christian themselves). You can't really 'refute' it whatever that means as it's about reinvigourating religiosity and spirituality, as well as interest in and respect for the past. Many are not hostile to Christians, especially their forefathers, because obviously their Christianity is greatly syncretic and in any case includes similar themes in the context of the presentday (protestants do not apply).

Everything of worth in Christianity is derived directly from Hellenic paganism. Every time you use a Greek philosophical term like 'logos' you're cucking yourself. Gnostics desperately tried to make Christianity a tad more consistent, but ultimately it's a mind virus with no cure. The trinity is a Hellenistic pagan concept with heavy parallels in Plotinus' metaphysical hierarchy. The only real separation between, let's say, Catholics and Orthodox Christians and Platonic Pagans like Julian is Christcucks can't let go of cancerous Judaic Abrahamism and the Old Testament. Drop Yeshua bar Yosef and pick up Apollonius of Tyana. Either that or drop the paganism and embrace full, true Christianity: protestantism, which is basically just LARPing as Old Testament Jews.
