Well, before I’m zotted...
Heathens are not Christians, they’re polytheists and follow the gods of their tribe. The traditional religion of their folks.
Heathenry doesn’t have Scriptures. It has lore: From religious texts, to epics of the better folks of their tribe, to ancient texts dealing with how religious worship was originally performed.
Its focus is orthopraxy, not orthodoxy. Do the rites well more than “think the good dogmas”.
As for their libertarian community, the vast majority of Heathens I’ve met were libertarian.
The basic moral code is based on self-reliance, industriousness, loyalty to gods, tribe, family and friends, hospitality, honor and courage.
It doesn’t have a purity code or a concept of “sin”. Some things piss the Gods off, but that’s because they’re traitorous or cowardly, not because they are “impure”.
That moral outlook makes most Heathens predisposed towards libertarian thinking: “Do your own thing, don’t rub it in my face, don’t disrupt my folks and we’ll be fine.” and sorta conservative positions in economics.

I see, to which "tribe" do you belong and who are your "gods"?

Do any of these ancient texts have names?

That's not at all surprising.

Do most Heathen Libertarians live in their parents' basements?
I know that in South America the traditional religions practiced there included such mundane rituals as human sacrifice. Does the traditional religion of your folks include such rituals?

I think you are a bit naive about historical heathenism. Most heathen communities were socialistic and paternalistic and the penalty for breaking with the traditions of the paternalistic leaders was, more often than not, execution or exile. Now can you name a historical heathenistic culture that was "Libertarian" and not socialistic or totalitarian?
Alright dork.
You need to go back to school.
You really do not possess cognitive thinking skills and your writing is atrocious.
Besides opening a thread calling Christians “non-christians” Isn’t going to go well.
I vote ZOT.
Fine, let me sharpen my athame on you.

But as far as zot threads go, this was weak. Do better next time, eh?
So it would seem....
Many people are very attracted to no concept of “sin” because as soon as they accept the concept of “sin” it means they have to stop sinning.
Pretty clear.
