History Why Paganism is incompatible with the modern world (and why Christianity is)

New mem>ack!
Not long ago I stumbled across a fairly big channel that was dedicated to worshiping the Old Norse gods. It got me thinking about why there are people who still cling to such outdated beliefs. The reason Pagan gods were conceived of was to answer the inexplainable. Why destructive lightning strikes occur, romantic attraction to the opposite sex, and so on. We live in a world where this has all been throughly researched and explained. Thus, taking away the mystical element to them.

That is why Christianity was and still is a profound religion for many folks. The Christian God has set all things in motion, and needs not to perform divine deeds to prove his existence. Making it a much more universal religion that any man from any class can relate to, even in our rapidly evolving society.
 
Imagine a reformed sect of Christianity that mixes the good parts of pagan values with the commandments of the Old Testament. That would be a religion I could get behind.

Proof of the contrary:
1. Pagans still had unexplained things in their societies
2. Natural philosophers in the Pagan world did not consider their findings to be in contrast with polytheism. The gods are the formal cause behind attributes of our world, they do not represent the physical causes.

Pagan myths are poetic representations of metaphysical reality, they are recognized as constantly happening atemporal things. Also, you are wrong on the second paragraph. Jehovah is precisely the only deity who needs to perform divine deeds to prove his existence. Abrahamism is a revelatory religion, it is entirely based on the miraculous and supra-rational communication between a transcendent God and human beings. God *needed* to come down to earth to explain certain things to Moses, and to Abraham, and eventually to the apostles. Meanwhile Hindus do not care about miracles because they are sense-perceived and don't really prove anything.

I would argue that this does not necessarily mean that Jehovah "needs" to prove His existence through miracles. From a theological perspective, these interventions are God’s way to guide and teach humanity, rather than prove his existence. As many Romans did not believe in Christ, even after hearing the news about his resurrection.

He doesn't need to do anything, but it is sort of implied that there are qualities of God which have to be taught through revelation, they cannot be discovered naturally.
