>read 'Divine Institutes' >"Cronus = Chronos"No, they were not, even ancient Greeks were explicit about this. >Sybils prophetised the "OnE tRuE gOd" No, they were prophetesses of Apollo, one of many Gods.>gods were men, not gods, because they have sex, and came from a mother and a father Jesus (Yahweh Junior) is son of Mary and Yahweh Senior (Typhon); Yahweh Senior is son of El (Caelus/Uranus). By that logic, neither of them were gods either.>gods were not gods because they were jealous and cruel Most part of the Old Testament is Yahweh being explicit about how he was a jealous and cruel god. Also even in the Homeric times, people knew the myths of Gods being cruel degenerates were fanfics, what excuse had jews and christians for their god?>Jupiter nor Saturnus nor Caelus (Uranus) are gods because they died Jesus died too. >Jupiter is not "king of Heaven" because he overthrowned his father Then, Mary is not "queen of Heaven" because she just fucked Yahweh. >Vesta nor Vulcanus could be parents because they were virgins Mary was a virgin and a mother.>Plato and Seneca were monotheistsPlato was a zealot polytheist, Seneca was a Stoic that believed Jupiter (Ju - Heaven, Piter - Father) was the Creator of the Universe.>says gods were either men or demons, but no godsJesus was a human too; demon came from the neutral greek word 'daimon' and literally means "spirit", "god" or "god-like". 'Eu-daimon' = "good spirit/god", 'kako-daimon' = "evil spirit/god" (is the Holy Spirit good or evil, Lactantius?).Was Lactantius THAT stupid or was he just trolling?
>>18453755It's a time honored tradition for people to lie and distort in polemic works. Regardless of orientation. Though it also helps that Christians genuinely had a very abstract view of the pagans (and viceversa). A christian wouldn't recognize that Yahweh had parents, though, and they would also protest the Set/Typhon Association as slanderous. Much like how you reject the sybils prophesying Jesus.Likewise, it is very common to see the competing religions of late antiquity attempt to appropriate eachother's traditions and subordinate them into theirs. An example of this is how the Pagans claimed the Jewish prophets were taught by the Greeks/Egyptians while the Jews claimed it was they who taught the Greeks. In Matthew, the episode of the three Magi at the epiphany could be seen as basically a subordination of the Mesopotamian and Persian religions to Christianity.Also pls learn english.P.S: I only now dwell on the fact a prominent christian writer was named "Milker". What a stupid name.
>>18453755>Jupiter nor Saturnus nor Caelus (Uranus) are gods because they diedAlso this isn’t even true. Gods in classical mythology cannot die, at most they can be cast down to Tartarus but none of them have ever “died.”
>>18453755My favourite example of his hypocrisy is when he did a complete 180 on his stances on the Roman Empire and war after Constantine became Emperor.
>>18453909The Augustine Gamble.
>>18453898According to Lactantius, classical poets wrote about how the Gods died (in Crete) so they could ascend to Heaven. Again, or he was to stupid to not learn that those poets were writing fan-fiction (which they were explicit about it) or he was just stupid.>>18453909The irony here is Constantinus still was a pagan until (literally) his last seconds, he recognised Jupiter as Father of ALL Gods, including Jesus, and he also recognised Sol Invictus as a Savior of Mankind, superior even to Jesus.
