I don't know if its exactly pagan or not but I enjoy attending the gnostic mass my local OTO puts on, nude woman on the alter and all. Its the only sort of religious group where I actually can be myself without being a phoney asshat. Pagans are the best imo, but the thelemites are really all there is around here other than the wiccans, and i don't like them because its just fluff bunnies instead of hardcore or real traditional witchcraft.

I'd really like to go to a thelemite gathering. Some of Crowley's work is really useful and applicable in everyday life. I enjoy "magick" like that. Not technically pagan but worth a gander.

If you're in the USA you might have a local group, they all have websites with a calendar that show when they have public events. That was actually how I found them. And then I just showed up. Honestly I would like to join their club just for the social activity and fraternity, but am not that interested in the religious/magickal part. I keep hoping this red headed girl will be the priestess next time, I'd really like to see her naked.

Hell yeah, I figured you would! OMNIA is by far my favorite and I haven't seen one like it ever. Like I said, there are other good ones though but there is somethin special about OMNIA!
An I don't know, man. My question was something about how some people feel about after life and their beliefs, I don't know, I'll remember it in a day or so most likely, haha.

yeah i've looked at that site. None close enough for me to get to right now. Someday! What is not to like about the religious part? Crowley's thaumaturgical and OTO writings have really helped me to realize the flaws in my personality, and generally how to make myself happier and healthier both mentally and physically.

Amen to that! She's fucking perfect in everyway! They have pics of her half naked on their site. The lead singer is her husband. He's a little weird but still he's awesome at the same time, haha.

What about a syncretism? 

I am an apostate to the Jews, and a heretic to many Christians. I recognize the (Pagan) Egyptian Coffin and Pyramid text origins of many of the New Testament stories, and the arrangement of gospel narratives as being public relations literature for the faith, as well as conforming exactly to the Jewish liturgical calendar. Yet the most popular of the four canonical gospels, John, is heavily Hellenistic mythology - totally Pagan. Greek mythology is rife with human virginal females conceiving a half-human demigod from a god. Jesus fits right in to this scheme. I am not a polytheist, but I am not a straight-up Monotheist, according to most theological definitions. Perhaps I am a Monopanentheist - a term of my own construction that draws on Monotheism, Monism, and Panentheism (but strictly speaking, not Pantheism).

No. My home is sort of my sanctuary in a spiritual sense. Different rooms have different spiritual personalities. The front of the house sports Pagan Greenmen, the back yard has Buddhas. The living room is a syncretism of Jewish-Pagan-Catholic-Orthodox imagery. It is all fairly well integrated aesthetically, as it is all fairly well integrated psychologically. There are some pics in my gallery.
