If all non Christian Gods are “devil” like Christians claim, then why are Humanity’s most important missions named after Greek Gods by Christians? Moon mission named after Apollo, Mars misson named after Artemis. No one names them after Abraham or Moses.
>>18249697Whoa.... So deep....
>>18249697Because the guys behind those missions weren’t devout Christians. None of the elites are Christians and have not been Christians for centuries. Publicly they only pay lip service to Christianity as an attempt keep the Christian-majority masses from revolting so they can remain in power.
>>18249697Moon missions were fake, that is why they are named after the father of lies
Jesus defeated the pagan gods and cast the demons into Hell, we have nothing to fear from them.
>>18249749They are not “demons,” they are personifications of natural forces. Anyone who says that they are “demons” is a delusional idiot with a poor understanding of metaphysics.If they truly were “demons,” your “one true god” would not have tolerated it for thousands of years. If they truly were “demons,” they wouldn’t have taught people virtue and wisdom.They are not “dead” either, death cannot come near them and if they did somehow “die,” then the whole of reality would have collapsed and we wouldn’t be here discussing this. Oh, and I’ve had all of my prayers to them answered, that alone is enough proof they’re still here.A rhetorical tool used by early Christians has no basis in reality, and is also hypocritical considering Judaism originated from Canaanite paganism.
>>182497631. They are demons.2. I cannot be bothered to summarise the entire Old Testament right now but suffice to say, the fallen angels who were the demons were allowed to lead people astray as an exercise of free will. They clothe evil in good to disguise it. 3. They are not dead, but enchained, and one-tenth are still free. 4. There is no evidence for this. Canaanite gods like Asherah originate centuries after Israelite monotheism.
>>18249775>There is no evidence for this.You have no idea what you're talking about.
>>182497751. They aren’t, enjoy Tartarus for your blasphemy.2. The idea of an omnipotent supreme being is incompatible with the idea of free will. If your god were truly real he would have already smited Satan.3. They still exist as they always have and will continue to exist long after your Jew religion dies out. Enjoy Tartarus for your blasphemy.4. Actual archeological evidence shows that Judaism evolved out of Canaanite paganism. Pastor Billy Bob saying otherwise won’t change the facts.
>>18249778I have studied this in-depth. Unfortunately I am out and about right now and can't access my archaeological books but like many polytheisms, Asherah was a late invention, I think 4th century BC from memory, perhaps 800 or 900 years after the Exodus. Similarly, there is very little evidence for Norse religion prior to the Viking Age. These pagan religions are not, in fact, the truly ancient or default state of mankind.
>>18249787Exodus never happened. The bible isn't as old as you seem to think it is.
>>18249787Asherah is mentioned in Ugaritic texts dating back to the Bronze Age you faggot.
>>182497842. You need to read some very basic philosophy and theology. It is certainly not incompatible. 4. This is how anti-theistic archaeologists interpret the very little physical evidence we have, but there is also evidence (not even including the texts of the Old Testament) that Israelite religion had diverged from Canaanite well before most Canaanite gods were invented.
>>18249795>2. You need to read some very basic philosophy and theology. It is certainly not incompatible.Yes, it is. You don't know a single thing about philosophy or theology. >4. This is how anti-theistic archaeologists interpret the very little physical evidence we have, but there is also evidence (not even including the texts of the Old Testament) that Israelite religion had diverged from Canaanite well before most Canaanite gods were invented.Oh, you are actually retarded.
>>18249697It is really less that the non-Christian gods are demons and more like they are man-made gods that demons pretend to be in order to corrupt and deceiveThis deception is still ongoing, except, this time, they are pretending to be aliens, astral creatures, and interdimensional beings. Different time, same tricksThe Church recognizes that the false gods are non-existant, but, at the same time, we still have to acknowledge the efforts of their people at cultivating their own journey to understanding God. We have no qualms preserving their temples and culture. Just don't worship the false gods anymore, lest you be decieved
>>18249815Your “god” Yahweh is not a real god like Zeus is.Your “god” Yahweh is Typhon, the embodiment of chaos and father of all monsters.The bible itself proves this>It claims Yahweh will try to destroy this world (Book of Revelation)>It claims Yahweh is jealous of other gods (Deuteronomy 4:24 and Joshua 24:19)>It claims Yahweh is the “destroyer of nations” (Jeremiah 4:7)There's also the fact that Chaeremon, Apion, and Manetho all linked Yahweh to Set, the Egyptian god of chaos, destruction, and foreigners, whom later Egyptians equated with Typhon.You accuse the Olympians of being “demons,” but the reality is that the only "demon" here is Yahweh whom you worship.This is why your “god” forbids images of him, because he looks like this.
>>18249815>>18249818>It claims Yahweh is the “destroyer of nations” (Jeremiah 4:7)I should also mention that the phrase “destroyer of nations” is translated from the Hebrew phrase mashkhít goyím (משחית גוים) and in some versions of the Bible, this phrase is translated as “destroyer of gentiles.” They are literally calling him the “destroyer of goyim,” this only proves that Yahweh-Typhon is a demon.
>>18249818>>18249820Mate, you cannot throw away the accusations of demonhood without first acknowledging the existence of angels and their king.
>>18249697>>18249775Blah blah blah you worship of knockoff version of Dionysus crossed with John the Baptist. You stole the image of Zeus and used it for YahwehYou stole the legends around Dionysus's divinity to elevate JesusYou stole the images of Pan, Prometheus and Dionysus and made them into Lucifer/devilYour religion wasnt even monotheist originally which is why old testament "Yahweh" acts like a schizophrenic and goes by multiple names>>18249787All polytheism predates Jesus
>>18249818Yahweh is Seth. The Hyksos and Irsu of the Sashu worshipped him. The Hyksos and Shasu were jews and Irsu is the closest thing there is to a historical Moses.
>>18250853He also stole subverting a Messianic ideal, and showcased victory through death and strength in weaknessOh wait, oops. Nobody thought of that
