I just can't wrap my head around how people can CHOOSE to adopt a new religion purely for pragmatic cultural reasons and not because they actually believe in it. Its like pretending to believe in something you don't. I don't get it.
Its extremely autistic. I don't get it.

Well it is strictly for cultural reasons, like, people wouldn't be christian if it didn't have it's pagan cultural roots (holidays, architecture etc)
Or would really someone worship jewish mythology centered around a shitskin communist hammered on a cross?

>The Nazi regime considered the Jesuits one of their most dangerous enemies. According to John Pollard, the Jesuit's "ethos represented the most intransigent opposition to the philosophy of Nazism." A Jesuit college in the city of Innsbruck served as a center for anti-Nazi resistance and was closed down by the Nazis in 1938.[73] Jesuits were a target for Gestapo prosecution and many Jesuit priests were deported to concentration camps

>Written in German, not the usual Latin, it was smuggled into Germany for fear of censorship and was read from the pulpits of all German Catholic churches on one of the Church's busiest Sundays, Palm Sunday
>It condemned breaches of the Reichskonkordat agreement signed between the German Reich and the Holy See in 1933
>It criticised essentially those parts of Nazism that contradicted Catholicism, and condemned pantheistic confusion, neopaganism, "the so-called myth of race and blood", and statolatry i.e idolatry of the State
>It contained a vigorous defence of the Old Testament out of belief that it prepared the way for the New[4] and, in the opinion of some, contained a veiled attack on Adolf Hitler
>Thus the encyclical was primarily concerned to confront the Nazis anti-Catholic propaganda:
>to defend the Church in the face of totalitarian dictatorship
>Pacelli wrote to Cardinal Faulhaber on April 2, 1937 explaining that the encyclical was theologically and pastorally necessary �to preserve the true faith in Germany.�
>The encyclical also defended baptized Jews, considered still Jews by the Nazis because of racial theories that the Church could not accept.

>Nazi response[edit]
>The (censored) German newspapers made no mention of the encyclical.
>The Gestapo visited the offices of every German diocese the next day and seized all the copies they could find.[18]
>Every publishing company that had printed it was closed and sealed,
>diocesan newspapers were proscribed,
>and limits imposed on the paper available for Church purposes.[19][20]
>Frank J. Coppa asserts that the encyclical was viewed by the Nazis as "a call to battle against the Reich" and that Hitler was furious and "vowed revenge against the Church".[15]
>Thomas Bokenkotter writes that "the Nazis were infuriated, and in retaliation closed and sealed all the presses that had printed it and took numerous vindictive measures against the Church, including staging a long series of immorality trials of the Catholic clergy."[6][21]
>According to John Vidmar, Nazi reprisals against the Church in Germany followed thereafter, including "staged prosecutions of monks for homosexuality, with the maximum of publicity".[22] One hundred and seventy Franciscans were arrested in Koblenz and tried for �corrupting youth� in a secret trial, with numerous allegations of priestly debauchery appearing in the Nazi-controlled press, while a film produced for the Hitler Youth showed men dressed as priests dancing in a brothel.[23]

>Bullock wrote that Hitler had some regard for the organisational power of Catholicism,

>Many Nazis were anti-clerical in both private and public life.[127]
>The Nazi party had decidedly pagan elements.[128]
>One position is that the Church and fascism could never have a lasting connection because both are a "holistic Weltanschauung" claiming the whole of the person.[126]

Stop replying to this shill thread. I am a neo-pagan because I descend from German Royalty and can feel Odin running through my veins. We are not autistic or stupid, far from it. The Jews have tricked you into believing German culture is non-sense and that a Jewish proxy religion (Christianity) is real. The Jews have done horrible things to Germany and have almost destroyed Paganism forever, there are still some Nordic Pagans left like me keeping it alive. The 1/84 German blood in my cries for revenge for what they did to my ancestors.

Nah I grew up in a deeply Christian family and there are many Christians who deplore pagan/secular aspects of Christianity. Most people who actually practice Christianity do so because it gives them hope in a fucked up world.

Sup Forums is a christian website and himmler was a paranoid schizophrenic weirdo

You are autistic because you are greek and greek gods weren't white and fuck yourself the German in me cries for revenge!

>purely for pragmatic cultural reasons
It's not purely for pragmatic reasons though. It's easy to convince yourself of something if you profit from believing it. People do actually believe the religions they convert to, just how they come to believe in it had pragmatic roots. Motivated reasoning is one hell of a drug.
This would be a pretty great place to throw out a dig at whatever ideology I disagree with, but I don't really feel like it right now.
Aiden Sanchez
Actually I don't profit from neo-paganism. I could just feel Odin in my veins.
Christopher Campbell
You dont get it because you think "paganism" implies the believing on any form of metaphysical existance, and thats not the case. Paganism focuses on life ON EARTH.
Check out Varg Vikernes channel for more information.
Also, I am sometimes a cultural christian because there is no way I am going to abandon all those heros and art which came out of european christianity. In fact, I often dream with a "paganization" of the church, getting rid of the bible and every form of middle eastern influence, and leaving only platonism and european characteristics.
>1/84 German blood
I am probably more germanic than you mate...You are right anyways, but dont role play.
Ryan Evans
I'm 100% Germanic, you are a mongrel, please don't roleplay.
Connor Gutierrez
You just said you are 1/84 germanic. If that is the case, then I am more germanic than you, that is a fact.
Anyways I still do not roleplay as germanic. I feel identified with the gods of the iberian peninsula.
Asher Flores
No I am 1/84 German. I am 100% Germanic
