The Pagan "shit" was where the empire reached the height of its power, Constantine only maintained a few pieces that fall apart right after, never to be regained despite an all-Christian rule. The decline of western society in modern times is due to marxism, which is premised on Christianity, not on Paganism. There is nothing found within Paganism that allows for Marxism, yet many things in Christianity (hence what Putin said). Russia is so based that all of its population is alcoholic, except for the chechen Muslim population that is skyrocketing. It's ok though, because they wear conservative clothes, so they are totally based and not degenerating. China is also so based that is has its own state-backed Christian organizations with millions of members. It also has a lot of state-control of other things...weird huh? They also purged the Falun Dafa who literally have a Swastika as their symbol, but they must not be based because they aren't Christian. ------------- I push Paganism because I have seen the personal success of my own meditations, as have thousands of others. All things classified as "heretical" by the Good-Goy religion. It is clear to me now how ancient civilizations became great, and it was due to the widespread personal development that accompanies mental training and empowerment. I must ask you, though, we both are focused on what is most helpful for humanity. I have already explained my position a few times. Can I ask you: what do you see in Christianity that helps someone who was not religious beforehand? Like what practices, for example?
