The hate and propaganda against national religions by Abrahamic religions.

The hate against national religions.

 It's very known how much Abrahamic religions hate national foreign religions. The hate is found already in their "holy books". Here is a part from Christianity:

2 You shall surely destroy all the places where the nations whom you shall dispossess served their gods, upon the high mountains and upon the hills and under every green tree; 3 you shall tear down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Ashe′rim with fire; you shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy their name out of that place. 4

- Deuteronomy 12

Islam: 

Qur'an 2:191-Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.

Qur'an 3:28 Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.

Qur'an 3:85- Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.

Qur'an 5:33- Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam

Qur'an 8:12- Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur'an.

Qur'an 8:60- Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.

Qur'an 8:65 The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them.

Qur'an 9:5 When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them.

Qur'an 9:123- Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood.

Qur'an 47:4- Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them.

Lastly about Judaism, you can go check my article (and by the way the talk against every religion even Christianity and Islam): here: https://europapaganrightwing.blogspot.com/2024/08/how-christianity-islam-and-judaism-was.html

This hate of Abrahamic religions led to propagandas and lies against national religions, but they weren't threatening anyone until Roman empire understood, how good tool is Christianity to rule the masses. From then they started to force people into Christianity and killing them, if they didn't. Here are books, who are proving the terrible things happened to us, because we just had different religions and disagreed with them:

"The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" by Edward Gibbon

"The Darkening Age: The Christian Destruction of the Classical World" by Catherine Nixey 

"Paganism and Christianity, 100-425 C.E.: A Sourcebook" edited by Ramsay MacMullen and Eugene N. Lane"

Christianizing the Roman Empire (A.D. 100–400)" by Ramsay MacMullen 

"The Christians as the Romans Saw Them" by Robert Louis Wilken

"The Conversion of Europe: From Paganism to Christianity 371-1386 AD" by Richard Fletcher

"The Myth of Persecution: How Early Christians Invented a Story of Martyrdom" by Candida Moss.

The propaganda and lies.

I would like to start with the most common accusations against us. Of course the first thing, which we were accused for is idolatry. They blamed us that we are praising idols, which is a lie. Pagans never praised statues or idols. They never kneel in front of them, neither kissed them like orthodox christians do nowadays with their paintings. 

First of all statues is a meaning from Hellenism, which is meaning elation. It's happening when someone is looking at them and even better when they understand what they are symbolizing, because 1) they are made by the golden ratio: 1.618, 2) they were made in temples and temples in the magnetic fields. The statues were empty inside, so it can collect all this magnetic energy and rise the vibration around the place and the people close to it, 3) lastly because they are reminders of what we should become, because the main goal in paganism is humans to become perfect as possible (aristocrats in Greek).

Secondly our rituals have symbolic meanings mostly or they are made to honor a very important person. We don't honor materialism, but the way of how nature works and is keeping everything in harmony, but most importantly to align with nature as human beings base on our moral code. So basically rituals are about honoring and reminders of what we are destined to be as souls reincarnate in this materialistic world.

Thirdly is about the lie of "false" gods or goddesses. If someone is agreeing with that statement, he is really brainwashed, because gods aren't created, they are discovered by humans through observation of environment, nature and universe around us. If we deny gods, we are automatically denying nature and universe, we are denying as well as morals, ethics, reality and everything we know. The lie about the one, which philosophers talked about, i wrote about it before. Here i talk about triadism and the one: https://europapaganrightwing.blogspot.com/2024/08/the-concept-of-triadism-and-his-nature.html

Lastly for now we were being criticized about some rituals we had. But this hasn't to do about rituals, but about survival. The reason why some rituals, where more "barbaric" (they weren't really) was because back in the day, dangerous was everywhere and humans in order to survive developed some habits, which involved into rituals in their religions. For example Norwegian paganism was seen by others as cruel sometimes, but the environment was really hard to survive up there in the north with the snow around them and they needed to be more discipline and cruel (but not becoming people without emotions.)
