"Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise." (Deu 12:30)
Our guidance is God's word, and God's word alone. His will for us is the standard by which we live.

Paganism does not accept God as Lord, the One and Only God. Instead, it shows a form of spirituality that concentrates on the individual that practices it. The divine is found in nature, in the stars, and stone pillars that someone put on a hillside way back when, and in the individual himself or - even more often - herself.

We do not want dealings with people who do not believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo 2:24; Mat 22:32), who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh (2Joh 1:7). Under the label of Paganism, many things that are explicitly forbidden in the bible are celebrated - idolatry, worshiping at the altars of other cultures, exploring other culture's religions and following their gods, reviving ancient rituals, as examples (Exo 20:3-5; Num 25:2-3; and Deu 12:30, to name just three among an vast amount of references to other culture's and people's gods). Life seems to have no other meaning or goal than "being one with the universe" and developing a feeling of self importance.

God has a much more specific ordinance for mankind: Be fruitful and multiply, and have dominion over the earth (Gen 1:28), so that God's Kingdom can be built on earth, and so that it might be well with us and our children (Deu 5:29). God's commandments focus on how we live with Him, and how we live with others, they focus on the moral conduct we show, on the social principles that guide a community, and on how to worship Him. The focus is not on self-love and self-realization, but on living together in a family, being committed to each other and to the upbringing of the children, to being good stewards of God's creation, and to building His Kingdom so that when the Jesus Christ returns, He will find us prepared, holy, and waiting for Him.
