/thought/ - Religion and Philosophy

test

But that's dumb, OP. The European Pagan celebration of Easter/Ostara/Eostre/Astarte comes from Semitic Pagan traditions. Specifically, the celebration of the goddess Ishtar, who is the Akkadian/Assyrian goddess of love, war, and fertility.

Semitic and European culture overlap in many places other than the Christian religion.

This. Religious Traditions aren't strictly ethnic. They are metaphysical, first and foremost. Are there semitic elements to Christianity? Sure, but there are semitic elements to most religious practices. You've let /pol/ completely warp your mind.

If you follow a religion because it is something part of your kin, and no other reason, you've completely missed the point.

tl'dr "neo-pagans" are LARPers and don't even understand "their" religion.

I don't know what you're trying to say. Yes, all religions, pagan or otherwise, are just abstract concepts. They aren't tied to ethnicity, but they so spread with culture, and culture in the middle east and in Europe have much overlap due to pre-Roman contact and especially due to the Roman Empire.
