Zyr took some of the wind out of my sails, but I'll still chip in.
There are times when it seems like religious people are searching for
truthiness rather than truth. The best religion is not the one that gives you good vibes or exposes you to a good community. Rather, the best religion is the correct one.
I'm sure some of you relativists out there are already formulating the objection that it isn't possible to know which religion is the correct one. This, of course, might be the case. If so, why would you follow the tenants of any particular religion? Arguably, to have the opportunity to belong to a good group of people and to get that good vibe.
Even if there are benefits to doing so, I still find it strange to adopt a viewpoint for other reasons than one's conviction in its truthfulness. I am reminded, in fact, of Plato's Noble Lie from the Republic. Lies are often useful, comforting, and fulfilling, but there is certainly a negative in taking comfort in the illusory.
To answer your question, Tecoyah, I surmise from the nature of paganism and from your responses that you are a pagan because you find pleasure and fulfillment in the belief that paganism is true.
In as respectful a manner as possible, I ask you why you have selected to believe in the truth of the pagan faith as opposed to the Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Zoroastrian, Santeria, Shinto, Taoist, etc. etc. one. How is it that you have become convinced of the falsity of that multitude of faiths while maintaining the veracity of paganism? If you do not believe in the truth of paganism, am I correct in assuming that you are a pagan because of benefits it brings to your life that are independent of the religion's truth? If so, how do you feel about that?
