Hoe do you find out about god and what god is yours or whatever?

[BlazeLeeDragon]

@lurkymerc research...the divine is beyond our understanding and the gods are our way of trying to connect with the divine. all are one and one is all. all things are connected the very life inside of you is connect with the gods. so find a path that calls or lands that call and research there gods and find one that symbolizes your heart...

since christians arnt mono but instead beleive in the father son and the holyghost 3 differnt gods could they be considered pagan?



[BlazeLeeDragon]

@NUTSMITCH not really, chrisitans are considered mono, beliving in one god, but taking the idea of the holy trinity from older faiths. that and pagan was a generic term they called anyone who was not christian...either pagan or heritic.

You give me good vibes. You seem to be very wise. Handsome too, but that doesn't mean anything! What is on your necklace? It's memorizing! Anyway just wanted to say thanks for the video! Love and Light! [erin]

@nintend0fr33k thank you kindly, it's a nylon cord, with the elvin seven pointed star, an interlacing pentagram and a triscale

[AxiomofDiscord]

very well described, and I would disagree I think you went into a good amount of detail and had good examples. I like how misuse of a word can lead to its change in meaning. Like naughty, irony, and chaos just for a couple other examples. I am kinda a vocab snob so this is right up my alley lol.

@BlazeLeeDragon

Ha!  Christians are just poor at math:

1 + 1 + 1 = 1

god the father + god the son + god the ghost = one god

[PAGANGRL69]

Pagan is anyone that does not believe in any of the main 5 organized religions or religion at all...Pagans follow one's own individual path of their own individual journey of Spirituality...imo

Other than naming that exact root word or words,That's what I call properly and completely defining a word or term.

[Chetallica]

This was the most informative description I have seen about the definition. I see so many people use pagan and wiccan for example interchangably, yet we know that not all pagans are wiccans, just like all christians are not, say, lutherans. And some that say all paths that are not the big three mono based are pagan. Ask a Native American and he or she will tell you they are not pagan.

I like your historical viewpoint, excellent vid. It's good to see someone who actually did some research!
