>god in latin is 'deus'>deus comes from proto-indœuropean 'dyeus'>dyeus literally means "being of light">none of this "gods", not even Jesus, are made of light but flesh>aka, Jesus is a false god too>aka, the ONLY TRUE GOD literally is Sol / Helios / Aten / Ra / Sun / Zun / Utu / Shamash, etc.And yet, despite all its attempts through history, it never triumphed. Why?
>>18719449Why is Kratos in that image?
>>18719452Because Kratos, also known as Cratus, was the son of the Gods Pallas and Styx, therefore he was a God too.
>>18719449because it's a fake religion
>>18719467God of War Kratos is in that image, not Kratos from actual mythology
>>18719468"Solar Monism" is not a religion, but a logical concept based on the premise that the creator of thr cosmos is Sol, since light is superior to matter.You should learn the terms before written stupid things, anon.
>>18719480Well, ofc the portrait is from that slop, since people are stupid and need modern references.
>>18719482>based on the premise that the creator of thr cosmos is SolYeah and that's obviously false
>>18719502Well, obviously, our knowledge of the outer space is not the same than back them, but even by that time the concept of 'Sol' evolved from our solar system's sun to the "Primordial Light". As you can see with the temples and statues in honor to Zeus-Helios-Hypsistos.

Because of the spread of Christianity. Solar Monism would have triumphed in a timeline where paul of taursus was never born
>>18719449All matter contains some form of energy and atoms are created through fusions inside stars. The sun is not a fucking ball of fire or light idiot, you forgot about all the helium and hydrogen maintaining the processes by which light is emitted.Now on a second note, when matter is also the creation of God, it for his Son to be incarnated in hypostatic union being born through Mary.
>>18719452We must be better gods
>>18719449Solar monism, or rather what I like to call later roman neoplatonism has failed because only the imperial court wanted it.Julian the Apostate is a good benchmark of what was the problem of this. He wanted to turn pagan religions in his country into this hierarchical structure with the emperor on top.Christians were alright with an approximate analogue of that - hierarchical religion with extremely Emperor dependant patriarchs and pope at the helm, but obviously it's not the 1:1 rendition of what Julian wanted.Pagans were meanwhile rather opposed to this.So who was he even preaching to? Who was meant to come in and take these hierarchical positions? The pagans who were unenthusiastic about the idea or the christians that had already existing structure of this type that on top of that benefited them in particular?Then you have to get to the fact that the whole monism thing is just not exactly an idea you can preach. Christian saying your gods are demons pray to jahve and jesus sounds radical but neoplatonist trying to explain how your gods are real but they're actually all logos-sol invictus sounds schizophrenic.It's also notable that the track record of the 3 big reformers of this type is very peculiar:>Elgabalus - written down as insane>Aurelian - his religious policies were only barely mentioned, nobody ever tries to explain why was he assassinated>Julian - met with indifference, tried to gain legitimacy through successful wars(because his reforms weren't biting), died in the process.
Because sunlight is great at growing crops, but apparently terrible at winning theological arguments.
>>18719449Because etymology is a terrible way to determine which god is real.
