Salvete omnes!
Today I would like to raise the question that bothers me the last few years. I'm saw a lot of modern politheists in Roman Groups (NR, RR, CDR e.t.c), but still don't understand. I see a pack of rituals and directions, calendars and prayers - but this is material and formal serving of religion. What about spiritual?
Christianity have a lot of answers for any questions - they not always clear and pleasant, but exist. Christianity answers: where we are from, where we are going and what is allowed on the way or not. Christianity educates us a manner of action, manner of thinking.
I will say that I am not a Christian by faith, but I encounter in my life with some cultural things that society around me holds.
So here is main questions to discuss:
1. What CDR is teaching us?
I mean not rituals and worships, i mean ideas, patterns of behavior.
2. What is the sense of CDR?
Do not want offend anyone, but for example - Christianity teaches us what if we will lead a righteous life, we will get to paradise. And I understand what "paradise" - Elysium, is Hellenistic concept, but if CDR do same thing, then I have another question
3. What is righteous life for CDR?
Where the cannones and rules for righteous life? What way to live and be clean before the Gods?
I tried to search myself answer for this question and find what basis for "rules of life" for Hellenist was an Myths about the Gods, but considering them in detail we will meet with such things as - incest, adultery, massacres e.t.c.
I clearly understand what Hellenistics myths is was a "normal" at the time when they were written and modern morality is powerless in trying to understand and accept the course of life in those days.
But on what to rely on the modern polytheist in his life?
Say again - I don't want to offend someone, or worse. I'm a lost seeker.
Vale!
