Most religions, regardless of how pagan and evil, were developed for a specific purpose and follow a strict set of principles.
I find it funny that Muslims and Christians love to denigrate belief systems they have absolutely no knowledge of. Pagans are "eeeevil." Yeah, yeah, and Muslims and Christians are just the most pure, light seeking individuals on the planet. Right?
Really,now. Educate yourself, please.

1) You cannot be a slave to two masters. As a pagan, you make yourself a servant to more than one god. You divide yourself, making yourself weaker and for little reason.
If my child told me, "Dad, serve ME." I would look him dead in the eye and say, "No, son. You serve me."
why would you have your kid serve you thats called slavery and that is something that we know to bad and on the whole subject of god dont show me "faith" faith is the last resort of someone who cannot prove there idea
Appeal to Belief
Appeal to Belief is a fallacy that has this general pattern:
Most people believe that a claim, X, is true.
Therefore X is true.
This line of "reasoning" is fallacious because the fact that many people believe a claim does not, in general, serve as evidence that the claim is true.
Composition
The fallacy of Composition is committed when a conclusion is drawn about a whole based on the features of its constituents when, in fact, no justification provided for the inference. There are actually two types of this fallacy, both of which are known by the same name (because of the high degree of similarity).
The first type of fallacy of Composition arises when a person reasons from the characteristics of individual members of a class or group to a conclusion regarding the characteristics of the entire class or group (taken as a whole). More formally, the "reasoning" would look something like this.
Individual F things have characteristics A, B, C, etc.
Therefore, the (whole) class of F things has characteristics A, B, C, etc.
This line of reasoning is fallacious because the mere fact that individuals have certain characteristics does not, in itself, guarantee that the class (taken as a whole) has those characteristics.

Have you ever read the OT and Koran? Very little difference there. It's the same blood god... Vengeful, wrathful, rageful, et cetera. Not until Christ, was there any clarity as to what God was really like within the Abrahamic religions.

I think your fallacy is more on the compositional side, but, ok.... Keep kidding yourself.

Interesting... I recall a god who is pretty destructive in the Greek and Roman mythologies.
Ever heard of Ares?
But that doesn't make Ares the Christian God either!
If somehow you think that the Christian God has the monopoly on any destruction, think again. There are many gods in many pagan religious which attribute that sort of war to "higher beings".
have you ever seen the similarities between jesus and so many other different gods, they always say my god their god his god its like sports my team is better then your team it makes me laugh so what makes you think you are right cause if your wrong and worshiping with another god your just making him more and more mad
