Has ‘pagan’ been used in an essay or not?
How do I choose Pagan gods on my essay? A very important definition of pagan is listed in the Oxford dictionary.
Would it be acceptable to use it though in an essay?
What are different types of brittle indviduities?
I don’t agree that pagan has an immoral connotation, except in the minds of some religious adherents. The New Oxford American Dictionary lists the “derogatory” usage as a dated way of referring to the non-Christian. Is there someone in
pagan subcategories who seems to be different or have religious belief from other religions there?
What is pagan belief and what does it do based on it. Is “foreigner” a religious version? Ambrose Bierce might have described it as someone who believes in the wrong mythology, had he thought to include it in his Devil’s Dictionary?
What should Greek be used to describe Zeus, Apollo and Aphrodite both? This is more specific than it is presumptuous.
All Greek gods are pagan gods, (not Pagan gods unless you want to make a point about them being unChristian or unChristian), but not all pagan gods are Greek.
Can pagan be a derogatory term, but it depends on the audience. The word’s formal meaning is just “polytheist,” although in more colloquial language, it’s also used to refer to someone who is immoral or hedonistic. Why are there two meanings for certain words?
I would avoid using pagan to portray a more Christian person, as a general rule, than people who are familiar with pagan names, but don’t necessarily identifie with pagan sources. Both are moral issues. If one is writing for an academic audience, there would be a way to utilize that as a synonym to keep the piece from sounding repetitive.
