Paganism if the worship of MANY God's.
Pagan- one who is not a christian, muslim, or jew. (The American Dictionary)
Islam, christianity and Judeasm all start at abram (who coincidently married his half sister) All the bible before Abram (according to the catholic church anyway) is stories and myth. I still am wondering how three major religions starting in the basically the same place but over a couple of millenia, can have such a hatred for one another. Can this be because of the arguments over the subtle differences? Can anyone tell me if the various sects of Buddhism or Hinduism have similar issues? Both are based on various (so-called) "pagan" beleifs. Yet both unite the two most populous (and oldest) cultures/nations in the world. Just wondering.
Another thing, Christianity (especially in the Catholic form) is rife with saints, apostles, the holy Mary, the father, son and the holy spirit, etc. Couldn't these all be considered gods? I know the bible explains them as being not gods but when compared to the greeks, or egyptians the appear to have many similar counter parts. Just thought I'd add that.
