To be complete, I assume these rituals will include infant sacrifices?

Like many other soldiers who took part in the Gaza operation, Omer, 20, occasionally took a few moments to pray, but he did not pray to the Lord of Israel. Omer considers himself pagan, and has sworn allegiance to three ancient gods. During combat, he says they appeared before him, giving him strength during the most arduous moments. Omer is still in the army, and therefore refused to be interviewed for this story. Yet he did say he belongs to a religion whose goal is to revive worship of ancient gods. In an online Hebrew-language paganism forum, Omer's accounts of his Gaza experience are standard fare. Another user recalled how he prayed to Anat, the Canaanite god of war, while serving in an elite combat unit. The two soldiers are part of a tiny community of pagans that has developed in Israel. Influenced by movements in the United States and Europe, followers believe in multiple gods. "Modern paganism is comprised of a wide variety of religions and faiths, most of which are based on ancient pagan rituals," said Rinat Korbet, a Bar-Ilan University researcher who wrote her thesis on the pagan community in Israel based on its online presence. "People seek to take the essence of ancient paganism and suit it to our time period. Many of the followers have home altars where they can express their belief in nature and the gods.

God Bless America! God Bless Israel! God Bless our Free Republic! Turn away from pagan gods! Trust in God! The One True God!
The God who is going to reign as King of the world from Jerusalem will set things straight. The other gods are a waste of time.

Are you suggesting there is more than one?
Amen!..And EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW!
Phl 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
Phl 2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Scary stuff. You would think that Jews (of all people!) would have been permanently cured of pagan tendencies.
Some self-hating Jews are willing to be Satanists, because they are ashamed to be Jewish. Just look at George Soros.
False gods: money, education, sex....

I thought this was a thread about his “O”liness making a secret trip...Hold it...Wait...He is a Moslem...Hold it...Wait.......
"Infidel!"
My secret is OUT! I am now FREE! I just love being an infidel. Follow me around for a week, and you will be calling me a barbarian, too! 8:-)>
Chesterton had a great essay contrasting Roman paganism with that of Carthage. He wrote that the Roman gods were largely innocuous, like the god of the hearth or the doorpost, and required nothing of consequence from their adherents. Carthage, on the other hand, sacrificed their infants to Baal, as did their Canaanite cousins.
Are you suggesting I would make a great action figure, or that I go play with myself?
Hey, I KNOW! Maybe I could run for Governor...
The Roman’s were great humanitarian’s, too. Feeding Christians to the lions...Just sayin’...
Well, it is better than Islam, http://www.wicca-israel.com/ http://www.geocities.com/israelwicca/wiccaan.html and since it is polytheistic Mo is not delighted.
But, I assume that it really is a prank.
