Parable Explores Pagan Europe's Unique Practices | Gods & Monsters 

@CR Productions It's less of what they got wrong and more of what they didn't cover. I wish they would have spent more time on grounded topics rather than the theatrical ones. Paganism has an amazingly rich and divers history! Many misunderstandings come from lack of written material, leading to a bit of a biased view. As an example, animal sacrifice was a thing, but it was less 'killing for the Gods' and more 'Well shit, we need food.. let's slaughter one of the livestock, and hey, we'll do a ritual while we're at it to show appreciation for the Gods.' I'm not the best person to provide specific information (I am eclectic myself,) but I can recommend reaching out to reconstructionist groups. Most tend to be unbiased and view the old religions as a practical belief rather than a Hollywood nut galley.

@Rocket Satan is a desert religion thing and human sacrifices aren't what modern Pagans do, lol

@Rocket No, I don't know of a sun god.

@Rocket Paganism is an umbrella term for multiple paths that are nature based, or more modernly, not part of the Abrahamic faiths. Most are also polytheistic. Different cultures believed in different Gods and traditions. Many did not preform killing sacrifices at all, but rather "sacrificed" their time and energy into the crops for a great harvest by obeying the turning of the year. Some did preform human sacrifices as shown in the folk horror movie The Wicker Man, but they were extremely rare. It was more common for animal sacrifices to occur, but it was a ritual for the animals' soul before they cooked and ate it. Modern Pagans still celebrate and sacrifice their time towards nature, but none that I known of ever sacrifice a living being. Instead they may make a small offering of wine or food. Unjust harm to another living soul is usually seen as invoking the Gods' ire.

@Rocket I wrote a reply but it keeps getting deleted by RU-vid, so I'll sum it up with Christianity.

Watch Robert Hutton

Paganism in itself has it's questionable practices the way people are sacrificed even if you don't practice is very harcore control freakish

Yep, I feel the same way.. 😐

Dangit! I was excited to watch this until I read your comment! That sucks! I'm going to watch anyways just to see what all they have to say

OMG I came here to say EXACTLYYYY this.

Something like that actually happened.

Well if your screaming with blood all over body like these people worshiping thier demonic entity's - Then what should they have expected ?

Yesss!!! And maybe say that Christianity was the one that forced Pagans to convert in a VERY violent way.. Paganism didn't "dissappear" because people stopped believing in it. They were forced 🙁

I haven‘t seen something as biased as this is yet. = I haven't seen this yet. Somehow, I don't think that's what you mean. It is quite biased.

@@richardkasper5822 demonic entities? Alright mate. Let‘s not forget who burned 10 thousands of innocent people at the stake or killed them otherwise for being „witches“. Your christian god is more demonic then most pagan gods lmao.

Absolute mischaracterization of Christian belief set up for false comparison to pagan dieties.

@@howardellzey7806 true pagan gods unlike the false Christian God care about humanity and they like purification and works and good deeds and true faith not a threat of a stupid violence toward the stupid little fiction fairy tale or the lack of good morals

@@howardellzey7806 christianity and its death cult members are embarrassing enough in the first place

What it is biased with saying that the tradition of paganism to sacrafice humans is horrible nothing of that was a opinion it is a fact.

Yes, they are, but they will die like mere mortals. Psalm 82 A psalm of Asaph. 1 God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the “gods” 2 “How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? 3 Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. 4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. 5 “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’ 7 But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.” 8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.”

Are we going to add today's trinity?

@@supersoulcollecter There's no direct reference in the Bible on a triune God. The concept of God in Christianity, though differs in its finer details compared to ancient pagan beliefs, its basic concept of three related divinities is quite similar. It echoes the significance of no. 3 in ancient Greek. Aristotle writes, "Just as the Pythagoreans say, the whole and all things are delimited by the three; for end, middle and the beginning have the number of the whole which is that of the triad. Wherefore we use this number also in the worship of the gods, taking it from nature as a law of it" (De Cailo, Book 1). Greco-Roman religions were also rife with tales of gods procreating with human women & begetting god-men. The god of Greek Pantheon, Zeus, through human woman, Danae begotten god-man son Hercules, the saviour. Julius Caesar, described in Ephesus Inscription as, "Descendant of Ares and Aphrodite, the God who has become manifest and universal saviour of human life". On the birth of Augustus, another Roman dictator, Priene Calendar Inscription says, "The birthday of the god has been for the whole world the beginning of good news concerning him". It mirrors he Gospel of Mark 1:1 re. the Son of God that reads, "The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God". I'm not accusing the writer of the Gospel of copying Priene Calendar Inscription but..... So the concept of human being who is a "divine son of god, the saviour of mankind & good news" was a kind of template that was applied to people of authority & great power. In the Bible, Jesus sometimes appears explicitly to deny that he is divine such as “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone (Mark 10:18), and “The son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing” (John 5:19). Jesus, on the other hand, is frequently depicted as having nondivine qualities, including temptation, fear, indecision, and lack of knowledge. In Gethsemane he is intensely afraid so that God sends an angel to strengthen and reassure him (Luke 22:39-49). Jesus does not know the date of the second coming (Mark 13:32). Such qualities conflict with what is logically known of God. Here he's clearly presented by the Gospel writers him as a human being. Nondivine.

So only Judaism and Islam had only One God?

@@rindhirad Look like it. I don't know of any other religions that proclaim the oneness of God. May be Jainism? Sikhism?

@@rindhirad a typical dishonesty because monotheism is Pagan in origin to just like polytheism is both the isms Are pagan in origin it he breaks picked it up with her. Montefiore them as well as their group grope from polytheism to contrary to anything hebraic.

Vlad may have been crazy but he was a military genius, by freaking out his enemies by impaling not only men but women and children from his own villages! His enemy saw that field of over 20,000 bodies many who were probably still alive when the Turks arrived and he was like nope I won’t challenge him if he’s done this to women and children!

The Ottoman defeated Vlad eventually

I think an irish got but hurt

@@saintsm What an insightful response to a historically backed rebuttal. You must be proud of this one.

Jupiteris's bird is eagle though.

Keep coping pagan. Here is another one of your fellow pagan apologists: “I doubt they made those human sacrifices as often as we might imagine…I know carbon dating is used, but there is a margin of error on dating. So perhaps it wasn’t as much as we would think. Unfortunately, there is no way to know….” Jeez talk about sticking your head in the sand. 🙈🙉🙊

@@jami1153 ha! Sure! Christianity is a lie I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ How is paganism unethical? Please tell me!

@@jami1153 ummm the Jews and Christian’s did it..wait were you joking? Also not all pagan practices; and actually few made human sacrifices

@@jami1153 my Gods?

@@jami1153 lmao ok crazy calm down..you don’t know what I believe or follow. Get real. This discussion is based on history and if we are trading morals on those beliefs please educate yourself on Judaism and Christianity before you lay into pagans. ✌🏻

Until your heart is ripped out while it’s still beating as a sacrifice to the whatever god for whatever reason. Pff keep coping pagan.

@@MoiLiberty the catholics are the ones that sacrifice people to Jesus by burning them alive

The Bible if studied in detail does not deny the existence of gods. Only that YHWH is the most high, the others are sons of God- small gods. They rebelled- most Christians call them angels incorrectly. See Psalm 82, that Jesus (Yeshua) quoted to Pharisees. Psalm 82 A psalm of Asaph. 1 God presides in the great assembly; he renders judgment among the “gods” 2 “How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? 3 Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. 4 Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. 5 “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6 “I said, ‘You are “gods” you are all sons of the Most High.’ 7 But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.”Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.”

The 1st commandment.. thou shalt have no other gods before me.

A man made statue is not a god, i never understood how hindus could worship such ugly looking idols and call them gods. Atleast the romans and the greeks had pleasant looking statues . neither is a cow a god. Cows are food.

Hindusim is idol worship a demon that collects souls.

@@redemption8980 Hinduism is definitely not that…

Spot on

Uh oh- Mediterranean death cult lizard shit Your modern god has no power in these woods

Hey, I belong to a polytheistic religion (hinduism) and recently I have been noticing similarities between paganism and hinduism like worshipping gods which are connected to nature, worshipping trees and rivers and also the sacrifices ( in hinduism we have this another aspect of Tantra sadhna where sacrifices are made). This got me intrigued and I stumbled upon this video. But after watching it for 10 minutes I understood how they are trying to demonize pagans, in the exact same way they have demonized hinduism, their tactics are very similar to show that how backward, uncivilized and cruel these religions are AND imposing abrahmic faiths on such beautiful, native and spiritual cultures which are a lot more ancient than these so called abrahmic faiths. Please tell me an unbiased source from where I can learn more about paganism and dwelve into the similarities( youtube is not helping much, a lot of videos are biased). I am really curious about it. Love from India

Maybe cuz you a pagan and don’t realize it?

I think they prepared for that. I also thought perhaps they may have burned the statue in such a way that produced a lot of smoke and the victims of the sacrifice died from smoke inhalation instead of actual burning. I am not sure if there is such a way to do that because I have no experience in anything like that. I just thought perhaps they may have had a way to make it less painful.

Incorporating Judaism into Christianity would require rejecting Jesus as any form of god. (He also fails as a messiah, not that a messiah can be a god.) Catholicism has a very pagan flavor, but its theology is as pure a form of monotheism as any trinitarian form of Christianity.

the pagans go to hell

Deut 5:22, Jer 7:22-24. Read them slowly and carefully.

God lived up to His Word, Jesus Christ, who was the sacrificial lamb of the church so that we can be saved from the pagan human sacrifice and all other sins. You get it yet? If you discovered that in Christianity, God became Man and sacrificed himself so that it would be done; no more human sacrifice because you cannot sacrifice anything greater than the son of God.. You get it? Kinda?

@@Andy_Babb thank you!

Ahh I'm at 2:30... I'm scared

Yes, the Law could not save us, it could only judge. So Gods Words became flesh to offer us salvation by conquering death with death. Christ is our bridegroom who offers us salvation by accepting Him who is without sin, so that we sinners may become one with He who is without sin…thereby absolving ourselves from sin through Him.

I'm not a time traveller, how would I know?

Christianity isn't pagan. And Trinitarianism had forerunners in Judaism.

@@geoffrobinson lol just because you “feel” as though it isn’t doesn’t take away from objective reality

All of you freaking people are crazy. Man is one evil wicked being. Who does this? What is crazy is today these same people seed are just a wicked today as their ancestors. Pagan and Christians are the one in the same. CHRISTIANS are those that were pagans that were converted to Christianity. You can change your practices, but you can't change the seed from which you came from. A seed will always produce after it's on kind. Even if it takes centuries.

@@Lioness1499 it has taken centuries and if you look at Christianity now, with the blood of Christ, eating the body rituals along with the rampant pedophilia of the priest and their Vatican, corruption of their tithes etc.
