when Christianity or rather Catholicism was first introduced it was implemented as a form of policing method (keep the poor and stupid in fear of punishment in the afterlife) much like telling your children if they don't behave the boogieman will get them. during this time was when druidism and other so called occult practices were in high popularity in fact it was a struggle between which faith would become the more dominant so in order to make the pagan faiths seem more macabre and dangerous than they actually are the catholic church took one of the gods of the pagans (the green man) who was considered both a god of fertility and of the forest who had the lower body of a goat (hooves and fur) and an upper body of a human with a long beard (goatee) and large antlers nubbed the antlers down to make small horns and proclaimed him to be "the horned one" AKA Satan as a result of the turmoil and bloodshed against both pagans and papists alike the influence of the catholic church in England managed to sway the king at that time to ally with the pope declaring all acts of heracy an act against the crown and offenders would be put to death (as such the witch trials began) so in short no i do not believe satan or god or jesus exists due to the actions taken during such time after all isn't "god" meant to be the only judge jury and executioner? and as such why would the catholic church feel so threatened by another faith to carry out a full scale war against an opposing faith and not leave it up to god? and i will also remind all reading this some of the people who they executed were nothing more than herbal doctors (cure ailments with herbs and other plants) also for anyone wondering i myself am of a pagan faith well man also created the easter bunny the tooth fairy and so on just because we envisioned their creation does not mean they exist much like even my faiths tales could be wrong ... i may have my beliefs but i unlike other religious people do not say you are wrong and u will burn for it ultimately all roads lead to the same fate dead and buried what happens next is anyone's guess .... i however believe in reincarnation simply because too many coincidences have happened to just be left up to coincidence |

during this time was when druidism and other so called occult practices were in high popularity in fact it was a struggle between which faith would become the more dominant so in order to make the pagan faiths seem more macabre and dangerous than they actually are the catholic church took one of the gods of the pagans (the green man) who was considered both a god of fertility and of the forest who had the lower body of a goat (hooves and fur) and an upper body of a human with a long beard (goatee) and large antlers nubbed the antlers down to make small horns and proclaimed him to be "the horned one" AKA Satan as a result of the turmoil and bloodshed against both pagans and papists alike the influence of the catholic church in England managed to sway the king at that time to ally with the pope declaring all acts of heracy an act against the crown and offenders would be put to death (as such the witch trials began) so in short no i do not believe satan or god or jesus exists due to the actions taken during such time after all isn't "god" meant to be the only judge jury and executioner? and as such why would the catholic church feel so threatened by another faith to carry out a full scale war against an opposing faith and not leave it up to god? and i will also remind all reading this some of the people who they executed were nothing more than herbal doctors (cure ailments with herbs and other plants) also for anyone wondering i myself am of a pagan faith |
