Creativity is a non-theistic, ethnocentric religion founded in 1973 by Ben Klassen with the publication of the book Nature's Eternal Religion and was later expounded upon in the books The White Man's Bible, and Salubrious Living. Creativity is known for being "antisemitic, racist and...anti-Christian." |
| Well… at least someone is making an effort to show you don’t need to twist the words of a higher power to be a jerk… |
Their Golden Rule essentially is, what is good for the White Race is Good, and what is bad for the White Race is Bad… Doing what is bad for the White Race is viewed as treason, and the religion teaches that there are two options for White people: loyalty or treason, there is no middle ground. |
| Hey, they didn’t say “blue eyed, blonde whites”! So there’s some diversity there. |
Nature's Eternal Religion is the founding text of Creativity ... The first chapter discusses nature, and "nature's laws" including the teaching that nature divides species up into different sub-species and that it is not the plan of nature to have one species but many as nature is "diverse".The second chapter states that the White race is nature's finest and noblest creation. |

| Ok…I’m getting some mixed signals here… |
The first book goes on to critique Christianity, including the Christian Bible…The second book in Nature's Eternal Religion explains the religion of Creativity. It has a chapter entitled "Sixteen Commandments" which includes the basic idea to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth with White people. |

So, forgive me if this has been covered in the thread before but I noticed there was some discussion of pagan as “catch-all, possibly derogatory name for non-Abrahamic religions” to “Easy label to fit my beliefs alongside similar religions.”
I was wondering if people tend to self-identify as a pagan, or if not, what do they self-identify as (Wiccan, Odinist(?)
Druid
, etc…)?
We’ve discussed paganism generally being applied to “western” religions that aren’t Abrahamic? Does anyone believe this is an important distinction from eastern religions? Do the religions of the Native Americans (both north and south) stand outside or inside this label? What about the religions of Africa? Or do you believe your faith is of a more personal nature and aren’t really concerned with labels?

Justice is a joy to the godly, but it terrifies evildoers.Proverbs21:15 FimFiction account.The definition is a bit difficult to pin down. Basicially, Pagan seems to be a catch-all term for anything that isn't Christianity, Islam or Judaism (and in the past it was even applied to the latter two of that trio, in some cases). I think it's better to be a bit more specific if possible- for example, I consider myself Wiccan rather than Pagan.
I don't like labels all that much, but due to the nature of the human though process it is impossible to avoid them. I try to be specific with the ones I apply to myself.

Misanthrope SupremeLike everyone said, Pagan is a catch-all. My personal definition of a pagan faith says they tend to include nature-reverence, magic, and (sometimes) spirits that aren't gods.
If a person considers his or her self a pagan, so let it be.
I myself do identify as pagan, because I'm sort of an eclectic pagan, kinda.*
Another label I tend to apply to pagan faiths is "anything Christianity hates" but I really shouldn't do that. :/

There are a lot of rival subsets of christianity that hate each other, you know. So yeah, try to avoid thinking of it that way.
Misanthrope SupremeMhhh. I mostly use Paganism as a term that defines the old European religions. But I sometime also use it in a broader sense that basically includes any and all polytheistic religion.
So basically, they all are Pagans to me until I find out how they call their religion themselves.

This sounds like what I've been wondering about lately- I identify as Wiccan but haven't found a local group or coven that meets regularly, and it's kind of lonely right now. It seems like most Wiccans in the area are solitary practitioners (though there are often open circles held at Sabbats and such)... I've found great spiritual comfort in my solitary practice, but I would also love the comraderie of a coven- but I would also get irritated if somebody were to say "you're not a Wiccan unless you're in a coven" or similiar. What a bizarre little pickle- eh well, maybe the group of my dreams will pop up on the Witch's Voice postings one day. In the meantime, the Divine Forces aren't fussing over technicalities, so I'll try not to either.
...And, er, hello by the way.
Been off the Internets for a while, pleasantly surprised to see this group now that I'm back. (Hey, I'm in a "coven" now
)
Mamanerd: -Hugs- You are the first one to notice that pun besides me!
Welcome back to the intertube as it were.
Also, I agree that the whole "You aren't a REAL Wiccan if you aren't in a coven" tripe is nonsense. How would any mortal know what the gods consider legit or not?
NOTE: Not a Wiccan here, but I first "came out" as it were to a Wiccan man, and we spoke about spirituality quite a bit. Wiccan influences are still pretty strong on my end.
My name is Cu Chulainn. Beside the raging sea I am left to moan. Sorrow I am, for I brought down my only son.I for one almost never ask the god and goddess questions because I can never understand their answers. The most direct answers I ever got from them were a heart shaped potato and running straight into a yield sign. Thankfully my teacher CAN understand the goddess, so I just ask her to ask questions for me.

Basically what Kara said. In my experience, the gods are... not keen on direct answers. Learning the answer to any question you ask typically has to be a deeply personal thing you learn a valuable lesson from.
There's also the thing that a lot of Coveners tend to get a mentality similar to Church-going Christians; "I don't need to figure this out because my leader/peers/etc. will tell me."
Companionship is fantastic, but ultimately your spirituality has to be your own.

Shary: For following the Morrigan, you automatically get about ten times the badass points of anyone else... at the cost of, you know, following the most renowned and feared prophet of the Tuatha. Divine xanatos gambits abound. :P
Yes, that's a very common thing to feel upon gaining/changing your spiritual beliefs. Everything has a special purpose or a secret meaning, or is a message from above. When you believe in a higher power it isn't easy to believe that sh*t just happens at random sometimes.

Misanthrope SupremeAnd now imagine how much that feeling intensifies when your patron's entire schtick is a chessmaster.
Although I do like how following a war goddess meshes unexpectedly well with being an actor/writer/singer.
Randomguy: There's a difference between a random deity and the goddamn Morrigan.
I'd probably be a follower of said goddess, at least in part, except I determined a long time ago that no way in hell would I put myself through that pants-shitting terror.
The Celtic Mythology page, informal though it be, is a pretty good starting point.
@ Dia: See, the problem with being termed a follower is that most people assume I chose to follow her.
