not true, almost every form of paganism in history has been far more open minded than christianity.

there are some good parts definatly, but punishment for crimes would be much worse and i dont think you could move from the bottom to the top of their social pyramid as easy as we can(not that it is easy). correct me if im wrong

It was like that for Christianity forever though....probably just becouse humans weren't developed as well as they are today, I'm guessing the same change would occur in that socioty as well....

later greeks were more ashamed of it than against it. they covered it up in later literature, but it still happened. the bronze age was pretty brutal.

good points, maybe we could do away with a certain lawyer(no names need to be said) that thinks GTA is the root of all evil, since greeks were very appreciative of art

so i guess we all agree, native european religions are better. and with beliefs that dont require everyone to believe in them anywhere in europe i think its safe to say we wouldnt have to put up with annoying religion threads in forums! pre-christian europe ftw!

Also there would be less racism because the greeks ensalved people according to social/religous status, not by race. Then Greek Abraham Lincoln would stop slavery sooner or later

So "any Native European pagan religion" would make the world a better place? You do realize that the pagan Romans killed the early Christians for sport right?

i would rather the celtic/nordic(cousin kin) way of life over the roman or greek personally. even if they were headhunters and very violent, you would expect the culture to evolve. but even in the purest celtic culture i would be happy. celts knew no fear. that alone is a good enough reason for me to want to live amongst them.

not true, pagans of all cultures (not just europe) tended to love the world around them.
