The Bible

>best books on mythology, gods, folklore...
King James Bible.
All others are a pale imitation of it.
>trying to figure out who I should worship.
"Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

1 O sing a new song to the Lord:
sing all the earth to God.
2 To God sing, bless his name, show still
his saving health abroad.

3 Among the heathen nations
his glory do declare;
And unto all the people show
his works that wondrous are.

4 For great's the Lord, and greatly he
is to be magnified;
Yea, worthy to be feared is he
above all gods beside.

5 For all the gods are idols dumb,
which blinded nations fear;
But our God is the Lord, by whom
the heav'ns created were.

6 Great honor is before his face,
and majesty divine;
Strength is within his holy place,
and there doth beauty shine.

7 Do ye ascribe unto the Lord,
of people ev'ry tribe,
Glory do ye unto the Lord,
and mighty pow'r ascribe.

8 Give ye the glory to the Lord
that to his name is due;
Come ye into his courts, and bring
an offering with you.

9 In beauty of his holiness,
O do the Lord adore;
Likewise let all the earth throughout
tremble his face before.

10 Among the heathen say, God reigns;
the world shall steadfastly
Be fixed from moving; he shall judge
the people righteously.

11 Let heav'ns be glad before the Lord,
and let the earth rejoice;
Let seas, and all that is therein,
cry out, and make a noise.

12 Let fields rejoice, and ev'ry thing
that springeth of the earth:
Then woods and ev'ry tree shall sing
with gladness and with mirth

13 Before the Lord; because he comes,
to judge the earth comes he:
He'll judge the world with righteousness,
the people faithfully.

the Greek gods

Jannies.
Maybe they will do their Job.
Or end up doing nothing.
Hey
>>
>>25342670
The Greek Myths by Robert Graves is decent, although take his personal interpretations with a grain of salt
>>
>>25342670
Bulfinch's Mythology.

Though I wouldnt really base the god I worship based on mythology.

assumedly he want a comparitive analysis, a compendium of mytho-religious views, probably consisting of major groups including Greco-roman, Mesopotamian, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Norse, Hindu, Buhdist, Shinto, and a spritz of lesser known indiginous ones like Native American Navajo, South African Zulu, and Central Asian Mongolian.

>>25342670
Not quite a compendium, but Verieties of Religious Experience is a profound and eloquent examination of religiousness and spirituality in general.

Though "myths and legends of all nations" is another classic.
>>
>>25342684
Nice self-own that the Bible is just mythology and folklore ...
>>
>>25342670
All gods are just projections of Jungian archetypes.
This is why mysticism > religion. The truth lies within.
>>
>>25342694
Try harder.
