in many religions there is one example of a 'great flood story'

Can’t deny that @Sarge

this actually makes senses because most proto civilizations started alongside river banks

which i mean

tend to flood?

They relied on the floods to survive

Except that one river in China that just flooded randomly with no fucks given

actually flooding in the unpredictable sense is detrimental to early proto-civlizations, a predictable annual river flow is better.

at least for agriculture

another thing is there very very very common 'god of harvest' in religions

even nature worship worships the concept of 'harvest'

Because you know, food

because most proto-civlizations required i guess agriculture.

Then it is hierarchical lmao

Food is great

food is good

There’s often tales about how we got fire becuase fire was real big

^zoroastrianism is the oldest religion

monothesitic*

they're literally fire-worship

Zoroastrianism is one if my favorites tbh

Although most of them involve some dude yoinking fire from the gods

yeah and getting.... roasted 😎

Dab

no

jfc don't steal fire from gods k?

it's that simple

how about the hero's tale?

One of my favorite stories is the tale of narcissus where he drowns himself on accident lol

for example jesus is actually a hero

if you think about it

Follows the heroes cycle and all that

yes

even the hero's sacrifice bit.

My favorite protagonist is JeSuS

mine too

tbh my favourite thing about christanity some dude in 1600s wrote some fanfiction about hell

and we're all like

"yeah that's what hell is like."

all those other hero protagonists are just failed copy cats
