Mistrunner Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) I'd be interested to learn some more about Mormonism, just for my own curiosity having been educated at school in Hindu/Islam/Judaism/Christianity/Buddhism to a degree, having a Catholic girlfriend and some family and an Anglican upbringing and quite a few friends who are Hindu/Muslim/Jewish but relatively little exposure to Mormons and what they believe (beyond the basic premise of the Book of Mormon and the Saints of America) here in the UKWell, a good place to start is mormon.org. If you have any specific questions about it, you can PM me or ask on this thread. Just don't Google search; there's some very crazy opponents of the Church around the internet.

I'll ask her if it's alright to add you to the pm, or I can copy-paste the contents 1

Kaymyth she/her Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 *high five!* I'm not the only one anymore! Not sure how much of the thread you slogged through, but I'm Kemetic.
Orlion Blight he/him Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I'm not the only one anymore! Not sure how much of the thread you slogged through, but I'm Kemetic. I thought you were Kaymyth!*slaps knees while letting out some ha's...pauses awkwardly at the following silence and then shows self out*
Murasaki she/her Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) I saw that! Are we the only pagans? Really? Edited April 4, 2016 by Murasaki
Kaymyth she/her Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I saw that! Are we the only pagans? Really? If memory serves, there's a Hindu floating around the boards as well. But that's about it, at least of those of us who've admitted to it.
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted April 4, 2016 Posted April 4, 2016 I'm half Jewish, half UU. I agree with both religions, and also find things I dislike in both. I don't pay much attention to religion. More head in books than in prayer

I don't pay much attention to religion. More head in books than in prayer I thought you were Mormon, for some reason. I have no idea where or how I got that into my head.
Moonskin she/her Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 I saw that! Are we the only pagans? Really? Not really and there are probably more of us in the 14 who selected "others" on the poll
Voidus Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 I love pagan beliefs, I just don't hold any faith in them unfortunately. Wish i did.
Murasaki she/her Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 I love pagan beliefs, I just don't hold any faith in them unfortunately. Wish i did. This is why I love Asatru. Because we try to be historically accurate. Trying to rebuild an ancient culture and faith. Therefore, there's more research and homework than actual "faith". The humanist qualities appease my doubt.

I must admit that I know little to nothing about it, I know another Kemetic and I've talked to her a bit about it but I don't know anyone who holds Asatru (Asatrics? Asatruists? Not sure on the terminology there )
Murasaki she/her Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Asatruar or Heathen. I prefer Heathen, ususally. 1
Kaymyth she/her Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 I must admit that I know little to nothing about it, I know another Kemetic and I've talked to her a bit about it but I don't know anyone who holds Asatru (Asatrics? Asatruists? Not sure on the terminology there ) Different pagans take different approaches, really. Even within a particular pantheon-group you're going to wind up with people taking wildly different paths. For Kemetics, there's a lot of scholarly research, but also a lot of holes in that research. Kemetic Orthodoxy is the most organized path for Egyptian pagans, but it's one that I choose not to tread. I've got my own relationships with my gods, and a lot of what I do is a combination of my own research and a healthy dollop of Unverifiable Personal Gnosis. I have a good friend who is a devotee of Thor, follows the Norse gods, but doesn't follow the official Asatru path. 1

Voidus Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 What's UU? (completely off topic but Delightful, every time I see your avatar it makes me smile. You should post more, in all of the threads. ALL OF THEM! )
