But that's the aspect I'm focusing on

I played the first god of war when it came out, I pretty much know everything about mythology now

The thing is. The tales were used to try to bring their other aspects better to human perception and understand I ng

What aspects?

Focusing on one aspect makes an ignorant arguement

It would be like me saying athiests are dumb cause they are all just edgybois

Oh, I meant I'm focusing on that in the context of what I was discussing earlier

Not like I focus on that all the time

i think religion came about when really smart people tried and failed to explain things to the rest of the tribe, so they came up with stories to help

The key is. Gods and Goddesses always have aspects of what isnt understood. That is their key. Looking human, having human qualities were added in the tales to make them more understandable and more relatable. As well as to codify the morality they portray.

exactly @Deleted User

Yeah, they explain stuff like morality and critical thinking

And as humans understood more of the world around them. Those powers lowered and number of gods needed did as well

Or help people towards understanding the concepts behind them

Religion today more or less covers what happens after death, before life, and the soul

the big three science hasnt explained

Well technically all three of those deal with the concousness or soul

how to live is still important too, but i basically agree with that

The morality is tied around the after death

Thats how they justify it

Which was an easier form in ancient days.

I think the guiding and controlling aspect of religion is the part I care about most, or see the most utility in

The japanese operate differently. They have always been more about honor sociatally. To the point the west never was

But they still honor their folklore as faith as well. apraying on new year and such traditions still are around.

Now after all that. I feel I have to specify I am not Christian or any of the main three curently ruling the world

Im druidic. So wisdom is important to me, which is why I research my *enemies* so to speak.

what do you think about spiritual experiences? @Goblin_Slayer_Floki

I believe there are many unexplained phenomena. And that noone deserves to have their experience riticuled. However, logic still dictates to investigate.

do you have any ideas as to why they happen, or what they are?

Depends on the phenomena

good point
