Was GOD a pagan?

[Sevenpointfive]

he made a human sacrifice to his gods (but really it was the Romans and Jews that murdered him for being a "false prophet").

Pagan: late Middle English
From Latin paganus ‘villager, rustic’, from pagus ‘country district’. Latin paganus also meant ‘civilian’, becoming, in Christian Latin, ‘heathen’ (i. e. one not enrolled in the army of Christ).
So pagan or heathen = one not enrolled in the army of Christ. LOL

As for "God". He is eternal, all knowing and all powerful. One day he got bored and decided to invent the universe. I think it was a midlife crisis brought on by his wife's complaining and his son's lack of respect.

So he invented humans in his image and likeness and commanded them to worship and obey him. He even invents the entire universe and all of Earth's wonders just to gain their admiration.

The people didn't obey him, though, and they didn't grovel properly. Instead of blaming himself, "Mr. all knowing and powerful", for fucking up, he blamed the people. His wife pointed that out, so he wrote her out of history.

After many years of doing sadistic things and killing lots of people in order to gain respect, he came up with another plan. He turned his son into a human and sent him to Earth as a blood sacrifice to himself.

Hence, some people started worshiping the son and Christianity, the "army of Christ", was born. Then, things got even more complicated.

Since Christians invented the word "pagan", all humans prior to Christianity were pagan. So was the angry, vengeful god of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) who loved blood sacrifice and couldn't admit his failings.

Those who didn't receive a Christian baptism are all suffering eternally in Hell. How loving!

LOL Thanks for the MHO, Sevenpointfive.

There is nothing in the Bible that says you have to be baptized to go to Heaven. The thief on the cross wasn't. Stop spreading bull shit. Sounds like you are the pagan.

[Lliam]

@DubiousIntentions. Yup. If the definition of pagan is rejection of Judeo-Christian religion, then I am proudly pagan. I don't subscribe to any religions.

[DubiousIntentions]

Well at least you are equal opportunity.

[genericname85]

god never wandered the earth, cause god isn't a person. so god couldn't have been murered by anyone.

and if you think jesus is god, please acknowledge, that the USA is pretty much the only dominantly christian country in the world who actually believes that. i think that goes back to a fundamental failure to understand what "holy trinity" means.

[Sevenpointfive]

yes. it doesn't make sense

[genericname85]

well nothing of all that religious nonsese makes any sense anyway xD but i guess delusion isn't supposed to make sense.

[Agape93]

And people say my beliefs are weird. Sacrificing yourself to yourself to forgive the sins of mankind, that you yourself gave them in the first place and wholly capable of removing them anyways.

[Sevenpointfive]

that's the first intelligent response i've seen

What?

Didn't the Romans and Jews kill Jesus? And Jesus wasn't God.

[DubiousIntentions]

Jesus WAS God in human form. He did that so he could be on equal terms with men and go through what they go through, and to speak to them at their level. If God talked to men in all His glory He would probably scare them to death as His voice would be louder than the loudest thunder. That is why He talks to men with prophets. Thy only killed Jesus as that was what He came down to Earth for, to be a blood sacrifice for their sins. There were like 6 legions of angels ready to come down and wipe everyone out - a legion in Roman times was 5,000 troops- but Jesus held them back. Had Jesus not died you would be still in your sins.

Hmm.. Put down the crackpipe, sober up, and re-read your question.

Maybe get your mom to read it back to you, before understanding why you should be ashamed of your lack of reading comprehension, and delete it.

Romans considered Christians to be pagans. And the god of the Bible is an atheist.

[Anonymous]

Fun fact, The VAST majority of christian rituals, and christian holidays started as pagan rituals and holidays.

God is made up fiction

No I don’t think so.
