rofl what a douche bag.

[idratherbemoshing]

you mean the Old testament? the one that's apparently obsolete?

I wouldn't put "The bible" and "History" in the same sentence. Pagans are in the bible because the Christian and catholic faith prosecuted and demonised Paganism.

F.yi the bible is about pre history from the very beginning of man to the end Which is exactly why pagans are in it:)

[idratherbemoshing]

"Pagans did this and they did this in biblical times as well " Fyi, Pagan's have been around for more than two millennia (Pre History)

Well Pagan as a religion is defined by any earth based religion that usually pre date Judaic Christianity / Abrahamic religion. Which happens to be specific religion of the Native Americans where from the movie it seems they've gathered a bunch of different Native American ideologies and mushed them together.

It's not the intent to be a Pagan movie it just happens to be Pagan, the culture clash stereotype is a much better story arch than and paganism based movie.

Yahweh - A name of the Hebrew God, represented in Hebrew by the tetragrammaton ("four letters") יהוה (Yod Heh Vav Heh), transliterated into Roman script Y H W H. Because it was considered blasphemous to utter the name of God it was only written and never spoken. This resulted in the original pronunciation being lost. The name may have originally been derived from the old Semitic root הוה (hawah) meaning "to be" or "to become".

i didn't avoid the question, i answered it , i didn't feel that it was pagan it is pagan, theres even a re-incarnation at the end, but i'm sure you don't agree that thats is part of pagan culture so i'll talk about what is , They worship the elements and earth around them Pagans did this and they did this in biblical times as well So i can use the bible to defend my point, also there god is mother earth EYWAH which is a mock anagram of YAHWEH the male God in the bible -Happy now theres Alot more

I have for several years, In fact I happen to be Pagan. I'm asking for your reasons as to why you feel AVATAR is a pagan/Satanic Movie, stop avoiding the question..

[HTBPFilms]

i lasered in because there wasn't enough room, as for the commandments there written on the believers heart in the new covenant and now by the holy spirit following them is now automatic, We no longer enjoy sinning even if we do it, the spirit causes us to repent , new covenant is automatic not work based, and how does one think something is pagan or satanic, research pagan cults and as for satan you can use the bible to determine that, the satan i would be referring to is from the bible

But to be completely honest I was using those quotes just for effect, Obviously the New Testament is called the new testament because it's new therefore replaces the old, It's not Ignorance just persuasiveness, But the Old testament isn't completely obsolete, you still follow the 10 commandments
