saturn...le bad
>>18750864Yes of course, he's the Demiurge.
>>18750830>>>/x/
>>18750830The Romans viewed Saturn as a benevolent god of wealth and agriculture who presided over mankind’s golden age. If you told them Saturn was some kind of demon, they’d probably beat you up.Besides, Cronus/Saturn wasn’t even the only god Yahweh was equated with in antiquity. Depending on the writer, Yahweh was also equated with Zeus, Dionysus, and in anti-Jewish polemics he was equated with Set-Typhon.
>>18750884Saturn ate his own children, totally not evil.
>>18750830>north pole of Saturn invisible until the late 1970s
Why did we name planets and days of the week after pagan gods lol.
>>18750888Yeah, as it turns out most pagan religions did not have a Manichean view on good and evil nor the morality of a modern western person. Ironically, the only reason you feel the need to label certain pagan gods as evil and others as good is because you grew up in a Christian society lolFor the ancient romans and other pre-christian societies, the gods were not loving caretakers or paragons of virtue. They were petty, wild embodiments of forces of nature that needed to be appeased so that they could maybe help you instead of destroying you. The greeks didn't mind the fact Zeus was a cheating serial rapist and the romans probably wouldn't give a fuck about Saturn eating his children if sacrificing to him meant the harvest would be good this year
>>18750981King David was a picture of immorality and Yahweh responded by blessing his bloodline lol
>>18750989Yeah, there's a reason gnostics thought that the God of the Old Testament could not be the God of the New Testament
>>18751060Well the NT goes out of its way to show Jesus fulfilling the Messianic prophecies including the Davidic lineage.
