Kala Report post Posted August 8, 2005 I lump Islam with Christianity because it's based on the same book as Christianity. Why wouldn't Buddhism and Hinduism be considered Pagan religions? Hinduism is polytheistic. Buddhism is Atheism with a set of teachings. I use Paganism as anything non-Christian because of the different religions considered Pagan - Satanism is completely different from Wicca, which is completely different from Asatru, which is completely different from Zoroastrianism, and so on.

Arnieman Report post Posted August 8, 2005 Actually, Pagan is the correct term for the lumping of all non-Judeo-Christian religions. A misnomer, perhaps, just like lumping all the Christians and Jews together. I've seen one thought I actually like about this thread: that your god needs to be a personal relation to you, in that you know your god, and you believe in your god. What good is it to serve a god you don't belive in (my argument against most Christians)? Oh, just for clarification, I am a Christian. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
