Sorry Frederich , I didn't mean to "drag" any disturbing truths here on this thread with a short history of the persecution of the Pagan and Hellenes
by the "Christians".
And this only covered the first 800 yrs of this new Roman State Religion of Jesus Christ . I'm sorry if this history hurts you to read , but such are the facts of this incomplete , nebulous teaching of Original Sin , Heaven and Hell and eternal Damnation vs Eternal Life etc etc.
Jesus was a very confused soul for teaching such nonsense, or at least was much too rapt up in the mythic terror-filled fairytales , and his own belief in the ending of the world in a blaze of Glory and resounding trumpets and the beating of armed angels' wings. He never could really make up his mind what he believed or could do except his martyrdom. He certainly was not all-knowing .
Yes Christians were persecuted for the first century or two , and actually made some of the better neighbors one could have in Rome as they were loving , generous and quick to sacrifice themselves.
But they quickly turned into the most intolerant group Rome ever knew and made up for lost time , as that post showed.
I made that post being reminded of the power of the Olympic Games today , which is considered idolatrous and Pagan even today and banned as it was back in 393AD by the all-knowing Holy fathers and Emperors . But t he flames burn on , and welll they should , for life is life , and there is no reason that Men should not take joy in their bodies or the sanctity of the fires of the Sun , or in any other form of deep and profound contemplation of nature , which was divine before Christ , but so fallen after .

Look up at the stars tonight , or at the Sun tomorrow. You see something greater than this to worship or that has deeper Mystery or is more real ? What else is there ?
Finland is an incredibly beautiful country with wonderful people who are filled with a love for family, nature and simple things such as singing, dancing and having fun!!
It was nature that was teaching us all the time , and it was never a fallen world of Sin and corrupt man . But I do
appreciate all your sincerity too. |
