Christbros... why did Europeans make their hyper-advanced clocks into cringe larpagan icons of dead gods instead of based Jesus stuff?
>>18468469Have you ever gone into royal palaces in Europe? It's full of Hellenistic imagery. In the royal palace in Spain, apart from their little chapel, I saw a single devotional image to Mary, not a cross, nothing. I am 100% convinced that they worshiped them.
>>18468469Because it looks based
>>18468469Because deep down they know the Greco-Roman gods are real gods, but they don't want to admit it. Even today, space programs invoke the names of Greco-Roman gods.
>>18468469You would know if you cared to learn.
>>18468469Nephilim descendants worshipping their ancestors.
>>18468500>You can't worship the gods, because.... because you just can't!Why did God make them rich and powerful and not you then?
>>18468502God gave Babylon the whole world for a while and then obliterated them.
>>18468587>whole world>The Levant and Mesopotamia is the whole world
>>18468481there are no gods, this isn't the 1200s
>>18468592You know nothing I see.
>>18468469Paganism speaks more to elites and those seeking excellence while Christianity speak more to the plebs and those seeking conformity
cause that kind of gaudy opulence is something associated with pagan emperors and kings, not Christ, who repeatedly urged his followers to become paupers
Knowledge of classical Greece and Rome was cultural capital among the European elite. Average peasant didn't know who Apollo was or what iconography was associated with him, only somebody who had been educated in a classical fashion would recognize Apollonic icons and references. Through the centuries, this trend continued. it's why when you read old European manuscripts, they're constantly making allusions to old pagan gods and figures in the recorded classics. It's a way of flexing their classical education, their membership to the exclusive club of people who could afford to be tutored or educated in a university. This was before all the plebs were let in, and universities were converted into daycares for rich plebs and training centers for workers. Showing that you are educated in the classics is basically asserting your patrician status. Or it was. These days it's more likely to make you look like a cringy neo pagan idiot.
>>18468954Why was that allowed in Christian society though?
>>18468497cringe youtube channel with 0 charisma.I've learned that.
>>18468954Religion was always associated with the sky, time, and cosmic order. Europeans turning their most advanced time-keeping devices into shrines to Greek gods goes beyond mere flexing, it's a genuine act of devotion
