Yes, I'm a pagan triumphalist.
I believe that the ways of Abraham are an anomaly in the history of human religion.
I believe that eventually we will simply reabsorb them, as Hinduism reabsorbed Buddhism.
I believe that their envisioned apocalypses predict nothing but their own eventual demise.
I believe that everyone is born pagan. Anything else, you have to be made into.
I believe that paganism is intrinsic to humanity.
I believe that (unlike the rest) paganism is natural.
I believe that paganism is inherent.
I believe that paganism is instinctive.
I believe that paganism grows from the Earth like a tree.
I believe that paganism inheres in existence.
I believe that, where there is intelligent life, there is—and will always be—paganism.
So call me a pagan triumphalist.
I say: the sooner, the better.
