A question first, are you as critical and judgmental as you were when I was posting here before?

I do wish there was inflection in textual communication. My reason for asking is simple. If your question is legitimate, I will offer a legitimate answer (although, it really is in my fourth point). If it's the sort of question I remember you asking, no answer I provide will be good enough for you and thus I will save my time and energy (and yours!) and refrain from providing one.

i believe he said he is now pagan. Pagan is devil worship. The bible tells us to have nothing to with this this man.

With your permission, else I won't post again

The myths of the old gods and goddesses are ancient distorted stories that actually contain a glimmer of the original truth they held. For example... every mythology has a "suffering savior" who is "son" of some major god. Most of the time this "son of a god" is half human and half deity. The vast majority tell of the ancient flood. Other similarities exist. But they tell a most ancient story. That story is fulfilled in Scripture.

Heb 6:4    For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Heb 6:5    And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
Heb 6:6    If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Not sure that all of these were myths. I remember as a child and into my early teens, being spiritually "called" by these myths. In some cases I was not even intellectually aware of these, but they were calling. I found the stories of the early "Christian", (usually RCC priests/monks) pioneers and their battles with these myths to be helpful in my battle against them.
This may be a weird post to some here, but I am sure others had this same thing happen to them, as well.
