you would think the paganism subreddit would be more respectful of other religions considering virtually nobody but other pagans respect paganism. but i just politely informed them that “yahweh” isn’t the jewish name for god and they didn’t do the normal thing — go “alright thanks for correcting my misconception” — but instead decided that the jews are wrong.
Unfortunately not that surprising. In my experience many if not most pagans, regardless of specific religion, still have a christian worldview with all the supercessionist baggage that entails and they think having renounced jesus specifically means christianity no longer has any influence over them.
and they’re probably the people who get very angry about being called out on their cultural christianity that they’ve failed to unpack too
