Do you know what the word 'pagan' means?
After the Catholics took over - and that was after the death of the last Roman King/emperor, King Theodoricus (6th century AD) who, by the way was one of the very best kings or emperors Rome had and, like all of his predecessors extremely tolerant of every country's beliefs in their own religions or gods/goddesses, the Catholics, who had embarked in constant lies and denigration of absolutely anything the King did for the good of the people, took control of the empire: to do that they called themselves "Roman Catholics" as if they were an extension of the Roman empire.
They embarked in compelling everybody to accept their creed or beliefs, failing that, they would murder. It was easier for them to achieve their aims in the cities, much more difficult out in the country because of distances. So those who lived out of their dominion (cities) were called pagans. The word pagan does not mean atheist. It just means those who did not accept the catholics beliefs.

And even an atheist has to believe in something: only animals have no beliefs because they do not have a surface mind, but only instinct which, mind you, works better than our surface mind which has to learn absolutely everything when they do not need to learn anything: they just know instinctively. Instict is the Creator's control over them. We are not controlled because we were created Free and Sovreign, but at the same time,(when we were created thus) we were connected to the Omniscient mind which gave us access to the All-present Light which manifests everything so that we did not need to learn how to survive and use our surface mind (and work for it) as the omniscient mind was manifesting anything we desired instantly.

You know Bjhn, I do not understand why you chose this Forum when you know nothing and believe in nothing that is common to the members of this Forum. Why do you write into this Forum instead of trying to learn something that is common among all its members?
