Religion & Mythology Thread

Yeah I don’t know why you guys are arguing over the 6,000 year issue when it was proven 8 years ago with the discovery of a dinosaur saddle that humans and dinosaurs coexisted. Obviously intelligent design.

Oh, you’re good…

First, Zatalcon is a fucking moron.

Second, it’s sad that as a race of beings, we have words like “atheist” , “blasphemy” and “apostate”.

Where are the words for not believing in chimeras, insulting chimeras or leaving a chimera believing clan?

Odin has spoken!!! /thread

Ya I just realized the irony of me always talking in religion threads, being an anti-theist and having this handle.

I just want to ask, what about the older religions that predate monotheism hmm? No one ever argues for the mesoamerican gods, or pagan gods.

I don’t know much about them. But did they promise eternal pleasure/torture for believers/non-believers? Or just explain how things work?
That’s usually the selling point for a religion to be successful.

Otherwise the poor and stupid dismiss them because there are no gains in the afterlife, since their living life was shitty for nothing.

Naw man if you were a believer in Aztec gods you could have it really good, in exchange for offering yourself up as a human sacrifice you got to spend 1 full year in the most lavish of luxury.

Ya but Abrahamic gods give you an ETERNITY.
AND you can be a fucking asshole as long as you go to confession, god will forgive you.
And you can just pray to Allah, he will forgive you too. He is most just and merciful!

If I recall, I read a book dealing with metaphysics, that mentions that there are higher dimensions and the higher you go into the dimension, time and space will seem different. You know that saying a thousand days to God is like one day for man. Time is shorter in this 3rd dimension. Some claim to have outer body experiences and traveled for months and its been only couple hours when they returned to their body, claiming to see strange entities or angelic nature or extra terrestrials that travel interdenominational in Earth and other planets.
If you are interested in having an out of body experience,“obe” look up astral projection. Look up Robert Monroe, anybody can do this and it seems like the rave these days cause kids are doing it too. I’ve done it once, but I saw some things that I didn’t like and it didn’t like me too.

odin has spoken

zaltacon is dumb. i am dumb for arguing with a fundie who thinks that believing in fairy tales such as zeus is equal to thinking knowledge gained from science is more legitimate. anyway the aztec gods did not give you paradise for being a human sacrifice did they? i thought only enemies were sacrificed.

Ya man, I do it too. People just say they are “dreams” “hallucinations” and “figments of my imagination”.

But fuck those people, I know I was in a dimension where Freddy Kruger was fighting Goku.

without the energy input from the sun, reactions wouldn’t happen. water is only a small part of the equation, energy rules all, not the catalysts available.

Goku ain’t shit, his power was just the manifistation of everybody elses power, elevating him to demi god prowess. Dude still wasn’t going to beat that cat looking douche.

IT’s called,

A thumbprint of LSD, A joint laced with DMT or drinking Auyahesca, several eights of mushrooms, or 1500 milligrams of Mescaline.

Not yourself but by stealing innocent people and ripping their hearts out alive on top of pyramids and then eating their victims kids.

Ah no…

I think Polytheism (as in Animism) does predate Monotheism because civilization records from China and India are allot older than the civilization records we have in mesopotamia, if i’m not mistaken.

Oh? What Christian denomination says your sins won’t be forgiven as long as you believe in JC and his pops?

All actually.

"Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 "So then, you will know them by their fruits. 21"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven…"
Basically, just claiming to believe in JC doesn’t automatically make a person “saved” because belief is defined by a persons actions. You can read more examples in verses where he was talking against Pharisees and Scribes.

edit: Lets not go into too much bible talk… The topic of the history of various religions and myths is very interesting.

That’s funny. I wish every person, priest, sister, altar boy in every church I’ve ever been in believed that.
But that doesn’t matter anyway, cause they are all hypocrites to begin with.

And ya, I dislike arguing religion. How do I tell someone that Gandalf isn’t super powerful if they truly believe he is real? You can’t argue fiction.

But I do enjoy belittling them!

It’s interesting how many of our days of the week come from Nordic religion.

Sunday = Sun’s day.
Monday = Moon’s day.
Tuesday = Tiw’s day (the Norse god of single combat).
Wednesday = Wotan’s day (the Norse god Odin).
Thursday = Thor’s day (the Norse god of thunder).
Friday = Frigg’s day (the Norse god Frigga, wife of Odin).
Saturday = Saturn’s day (a Roman god).

I wish there was more interest in Mayan and Aztec mythologies. Just the names alone are really cool.

I like “gnostic/abrahamic/whatever roots for christianity” demonlogy names. Some of those fuckers just sound pure bad ass from their names alone.

Man, all cultures have some really cool mythos behind them.

You should look at the book of enoch, There are a bunch of names of fallen angels. You can just go to youtube and listen. Then theres the “Testament of Solomon”; he knew names of demons from the lower dimensions and had power to control them. Rumor is he wrote dozens of books about controlling demons but can’t find source. If it was true it would probably bad idea if it was in public. Probably in Vaticans Library somewhere.

I don’t have much info on Mayan and Aztec mythology though
