Druidism is a pagan religion?

I would not associate myself with that at all.

But I can see some bitcoiners falling into that category.

Don’t shy from paganism. Lots of lessons to be learned from it and influential for some Christian practices.

You can study other religions while following Christ.

Agree

I have studied other religions and spiritual teachings which all led to Christ.

Easy to be deceived by the false light of Lucifer. Druidism involved worshipping idols and human sacrifices not something that all if a with 10 commandments.

aligns* instead of all.

I’m not suggesting that there is any other Way or Truth but Jesus, or that other religions, because they miss this Way, don’t also contain plenty of darkness which should be avoided. But I also don’t think it’s at all true that other religions and mythologies are completely without redeeming value. Psalms 19:1-4 and Acts 17:23 at least show that there is wisdom to be found everywhere, and in my experience, it’s equally as unavoidable to see the good as the bad when you read non-Christian myths and worldviews. I don’t think it’s bad to acknowledge and benefit from this wisdom whenever it’s not in conflict with our faith. You can consider the good without embracing the bad.

I’m just making the point Druidism really is nothing to be a supporter of.

I did a deep dive into years ago. It’s basically completely opposite of Christianity teaches.

I agree it’s always good to study and learn the wisdom from other ancient texts like Taoism, Buddhism, ancient egyptian gods, Roman gods, Hinduism, the quaran and the Torah etc.

The only way to salvation is through Jesus imo. No other religion offers such salvation.

We know almost nothing about the ancient druids because they didn't write anything down. What little we know was written by the Romans whom they were in conflict with. For example with their claim of human sacrifice on their sacred yew trees it doesn't take into account there are yew trees that bleed blood red sap.

Bash the modern druidism if you want but realise it has no connection to whatever these Celtic people were up to.

It is also umbiquitous to find yew trees in church graveyards here. Is that because they are evil pagan trees that needed cleansing by building a church around them or perhaps they represent something that seemingly lives forever?

Well-said.

by the way, in russian orthodoxy, there's a lot of influence from paganism, in the sense that when christianity was forcefully introduced, it wasn't easy to erase people's pagan consciousness. since those ancient times, many things, words, and holidays have been preserved.

scratch a russian, find a pagan

I am no expert in Russian orthodoxy.

But sure seems from my perspective the Orthodox Christian’s follow the commandments more than modern Christian’s in the West.

Interesting thought. Why?
