um fuckgreace your wrong zuseis in greek mytholydy i bet you dont know what your talking about you just like being a ducebag now shut the hell up
Pagan myths are as soothing as soap operas, putting faith is these fantasies as the source of life and creation is very unsettling. Their arbitrariness only gives insecurity. All their Gods want to do is destroy their father creator, not unlike Satan and God the Father. A truly higher being is beneficent.
zeus wasnt even a greek god! haa
History channel is irritating… like 2 minutes of content within a five to ten minute block, and constant narration based on the Gangland documentary series style. No thanks.
Why do people assume they’re not real?
Because organized religion relies on the fact that each respective religion must deny the existence of other religions in order to strengthen their own ‘god(s)’. Then again, who’s to say that any of them aren’t real? Science can’t because the foundations of understanding between it and organized religion doesn’t overlap on the timeline – but then you have to ignore Scientology…
It’s much easier to assume they aren’t real in order to reassure the current beliefs and maintain the status quo. If they are all real, then organized religion would break down
Not necessarily. Any religion open to polytheism or a kind of aggregate monotheism could probably deal with it pretty well.
You are a clever and reasonable Person Frank!
Kind of corny at times, but a good series.
They really detail Zeus giving random pretty women the ol’ golden shower.I do something similar from time to time, but I have to talk to a court appointed doctor after.
