Not bait. So a few months back I made a post on how I wanted to run away because I learned many things about religion and mythology. But I am back again, I have learned even more about religion and mythology. What I have learned is every mythology and religion has a counterpart Mayan-Inca-Aztec Christianity-Islam Roman-Greek Hindu-Shinto-Chinese myth list goes on... Anyways not only do these religions have counterparts, but they all connect. Examples: Norse Myth- A dog that guards the gates of Hel (Garmr) Greek Myth- A dog that guards the gates of the underworld (Cerberus) The Quran (Muslim holy book) started off in the Garden Of Eden, With people named Adam and Eve, had a flood with Noah, and had much more. Iduun(Norse myth) was a goddess who had apples in a garden, that granted knowledge and youth, for a heavy price.(Eden, Iduun sound similar?) Hercules had to steal golden apples which granted infinite power, but only gods may eat it, if a human ate it they died. Eris set an apple on the table for the gods "For the fairest" and that apple started a war The apple is a fruit that is the opposite of sacred, but how could it be so common? Why would Iduun, Zeus, God, Allah allow it to exist? I don't know, same reason why do gods allow evil things to exitst? I don't know. Khepri and Helios, they were both gods one Egyptian, one Greek. Both were personifications of the sun, both had brothers that moved the sun. Now the Unholy animals- Monkey, Spider, Snakes Monkey- Sun Wukong, the embodiment of the devil in Chinese, in many literature the monkey is depicted as foolish, evil, and sick minded. Snakes- The thought of snakes was hated in ALMOST all religions and myths, the snakes God sent for the plague, Jörmungandr, Medusa, legendary snakes that ate humans in Mayan, Inca, and Aztec "myth" Spiders- Arachne, Anansi, Wansa, Arachene was the spider queen, which she gained through losing to Athena in a weaving competition, Anansi was a legendary spider that would trick African villages to think her massive cobwebs were houses, then eat humans, and Wansa was a spider that slowed down a journey of a hero named The Stone boy. Almost all religions have some version of the biblical flood Cherokee version- A Cherokee man once had a dog who would bark all night, every night at the ocean and then one night the Cherokee man told the dog "Why must you bark at the ocean?" The dog replied "A flood is coming, build a raft and save your family" The man did so, and he was the only one to survive. Egypt version- The god Atum was mad at humanity for rebelling against the gods so he sent a heavy rain to flood the earth. Islamic version- Noah was given orders by Allah telling him to save as many animals and people if he can, only believers of Allah though, for Allah was to send a storm so hard water would flood the Earth. Now as you can see a flooding of the earth would have effected the whole world, which is why ALMOST every religion and mythology has a flood. Something like a war would only effect that particular part of the world, which is why in ALMOST all religions there is a flood, but not a war about a bunch of humans fighting over a girl named Helen. What I am thinking is God, Allah, Zeus, Jupiter, Odin, whoever you want to call him, has multiple forms. The reason he has multiple forms is so he would be unidentifiable. Now you ask "Why would God/Allah/ Zeus/Odin/Jupiter/Brahma/Lenny want to be unidentifiable?" it is because religious people see life as a test, a test to get into Heaven/Elysium/Valhalla. So God (Ill refer to him as God from now on) knows that us humans view life as a test so a test we want, a test we get. Maybe it is the same reason with how God made everyone speak different languages, he created different versions of himself. Now we get to the Atheists. "Hey Monstercat, how come God doesn't just kill us Atheists, I cussed him out, I told him to strike be down with lighting or fire" because God gives a chance, there are worst things than death. Imagine Hell,Hel, Asphodel Fields, Jahannam, Xibalba. I hate to say this, because God will be pissed at me but. Does God make mistakes? Yes (He killed many innocent humans). Is God infinity powerful? No (He rested on the 7th day). Is he extremely powerful? Yes. Now what is OP trying to prove? Nothing, nothing at all. OP you mean this was all for fun? No. I am telling you this because I shited bricks when I thought of all of these, I have been trying to get away from "myth" and religion lately, because I have been spending so much time think about it, so I had to right down/type my ideas.
