So the Greek gods were invented and worshipped long before...

Posted by Skye on November 3, 2026, 1:05 am

the Jewish, Christian or Muslim god was invented and worshipped, and surprise... the Jewish god still has/had a lot of the same characteristics that the Greek gods had... immortal, all-powerful, self-centered, jealous, vengeful, petty, etc... So what's new?

Long before. - Mugwump November 5, 2026, 7:07 am
Not before the Hebrew Religion came into existence. - DFM November 3, 2026, 9:36 am
- If Exen was 6,000 years ago, that timeline at least parallels the other fake gods. - Phooey November 3, 2026, 10:15 am

- Plenty of religions long before yours was formulated... - Damnation Bound Shaman *= November 3, 2026, 10:01 am
  - Classical Greek religion is roughly contemporaneous with Original Hebrew religion. - DFM November 3, 2026, 11:12 am
    - That may be true, but.... - Skye November 4, 2026, 2:22 pm

It seems like religious views of God have evolved and improved. - Ken C November 3, 2026, 2:17 am
- Granted, the 'new testament' Christian god may seem like an improvement... - Skye November 3, 2026, 5:49 am

        When Mankind created God, it was clearly in their own image. - Mugwump November 5, 2026, 7:14 am
        
        And as mankind changed so did their gods. - Maverick November 5, 2026, 8:26 am
    - Another common characteristic of all religions is some kind of collection plate... - Damnation Bound Shaman *= November 3, 2026, 10:04 am
      - The collection plate to help those in true need is one thing. - Maverick November 3, 2026, 4:43 pm
