  • Yes, because I do not believe the Bible is true in the first place, so it would not affect me. As a side note, that doesn't preclude some kind of afterlife, there still could be (just not as described in the Bible). Personally, I am hoping to be a ghost, that would be fun :P
  • It was not written by pagans but by a group seeking power and how better to achieve that than by programing the people around them to serve them via a proxy document, Real Pagans had a lot more respect for all life than this one little group of power seekers,and each lived by a common set of rules surrounding this respect, and is it fraud, most of it part myth, part speculation but mostly chains for the mind, beware of strangers bearing gifts as their gifts are meant for you to be owned and all that you have will be theirs ... ~Nemo~
  • Frst of all, whether the bible is accurate or not has zero to do with whether this is the only life we have. Old pagan texts are not necessarily fradulent in themselves. All knowledge has derived from history. All of it is valid. I believe the old Pagan texts were derived from something as well. The Vedas were around for 5- 10,000 years at least and are the absolute WORD according to the sages of India. There is more to history than Christianity. That does not negate the validity of Christian beliefs, it enhances it further.
  • Nothing that happened thousands or even dozens of years ago has much effect on my ability to live my life satisfied, unless it means I can't find food or shelter or some other essential need. I depend entirely on myself for my satisfaction: if life isn't satisfying, there is something I'm doing wrong and I need to cut it out. This does happen sometimes, and I always locate the source of it and cut the cord. I call that "freedom and personal responsibility". Got any of that in your old books?
  • I already do.
  • Sure. And those old pagan texts might be interesting...
