Old-Time Paganism

The pagans have fallen:

why do I say it’s a faith? I say that because a central aspect of paganism is that all the pagan gods can transform their shapes and identities, whether they’re Egyptian cat or falcon gods or Greek and Roman gods endlessly assuming alternative human and animal identities. If humans can abandon their biological reality and transform themselves into “identities” that others must respect (a level of respect akin to worship), they have elevated themselves to pagan gods. That’s some religion! But of course, as is typical for all paganism, there are ultimately only negative traits. There is no moral doctrine, no corrective for failures (e.g., remorse, repentance, and redemption), and no ultimate salvation. There are just the gods’ endless efforts to satisfy their own base desires. Humans are pawns rather than unique individuals made in a sacred image. The fact that the LGBTQ+ religion is declining in the public sphere is a good thing because it brings nothing beneficial to humankind. Instead, it brings only the pain, chaos, and arbitrary and capricious irrationality of paganism. This means that the climbdowns on the part of Target and HBO are excellent signs for a return to sanity and moral health in America that we must ensure are never again reversed.
