paganism is notorious for human sacrifice (not every pagan religion but compared to book religions there is a clear trend) and overall painting it as better goes against the historic tendency and reality imo. If not paganism we kinda get into something close to theistic satanism or so.
''Book religions''(what a fucking joke of a misnomer) are the same shit
Yahweh tells Abraham to kill his own son and he's ready to do it
Meawhile paganism(the word paganism was only used by christcucks and jews for the White IE religions btw), if you go back to its roots Manu and Yemo sacrifice the primordial cow to save the world, at least they doesn't sacrifice a human
Later on the lore got more degenerate with Zeus and all them motherfuckers(literal in the case of Zeus)
Not as bad as all that Middle East Hebrew bullshit, but pretty similar with egotist deities all over the place
Although in Ancient Rome and Greece there were already no human or animal sacrifices anymore, just taxes but middle easterners sure did + circumcision
The Christian church and Islam did far more damage to Europe than Ancient Rome and Greece ever did
Thanks to Christianity the dark ages happened, and for literal millennia the church were ignorant waged wars and persecuted many brilliant minds including Galileo Galilei
In fact this whole religion was invented by the jew Saul of Tarsus to subvert Roman Empire
Rabbi Yeshua(Jesus) didn't even exist
Rome allowing non-Romans to become Emperors or members of senate was what allowed for Christianity to poison the Empire from within and in doing so causing the Fall of the Empire and leading to the dark ages
Who knows how advanced we would be right now if that didn't happen
With Globohomo you never win
All religions are bullshit, Gnosticism is the closest to the truth but it adds christ bullshit to it too, but if you remove all that crap it's pretty close to the truth
The Matrix(which was based on some pretty obscure books) is also pretty close, as is Buddhism
But they all misdirect in some ways
The fudemental truth though is that our souls are all trapped here(if we all have souls that is) in this prison planet and tricked(by malicious creatures on the other side) to reincarnate over and over in this dump
People who have had NDEs have proven this already
There are also hints to this in many religions which middle east bullshit like Christianity and Islam overwrote with the promise of heaven bullshit
In Ancient Greek religion it's mentioned that your soul is taken to the River of Lethe(forgetfulness) to drink and remove your memorie and the warning is to not do that and to instead go to the River of Mnemosyne(Remembrance) and say a password and drink there and recover all your memories, prevent reincarnation cycle and let you enter in the realm of the Gods
They would put tablets in the corpses so that the souls of the departed would see them and use them as their guide so as to not forget.
If this method worked one can never know
Something similar is mentioned in Chinese Taoism with regards to some Goddess who stays close to a river and hands memory erasing drinks to spirits as they are passing by onto their next reincarnation
. But, but, but...
