polotheistic religions just seem to me like they are a set of architypes to learn from, which IMO is a better system than ' just do what nice guy jesus does' which can be mis interpreted in so many ways, but polotheistic didnt survive, so idk what they were really like and what they would look like with modern ideas. and besides I dont hate christianity, although Im an atheist, Id prefer to live with christians than athesits... because they arent degenerates...
Europe would probably have never survived had the tribes still been unorganized before Christianity
>never survived
>couple hundred greeks fought back the persians

Man, you are retarded. Your brain is too full of 4chan memes instead of actual knowledge
kek
when I said never survived, i didnt mean they couldnt fight, I mean they dont exist anymore
@Fitzydog are you talking to me??
No
@aWildTomAppeared he's talking to sky daddy
tfw idolizing christianity ironically
do you even go to church
It's unironically better than polytheist paganism in every sense
tfw idolizing authority unironically
Literally every metric
@galesteppes Yes. <:chad:431600553806790667>
many peoples voluntarily conveted to christiantiy, so I can believe it was better, but life would be so much more interesting if both existed still
You've got Hindus
Now that's an interesting thing to read up on: The intermixing between Hellenism and Hinduism
but did they merge their religons the other european religions like how the greek germanic norse etc were all similar?
side note, looking through old photos yesterday, and turns out that I saw an gilgamesh statue before I knew who he was
personally i find fedora tippers as annoying as you do fitzy but to go to the other extreme and imagine that early christian europe was some kind of boon, even that without christianity we weren't a great civilization, and couldn't be such, is retarded in equal measure
I mean from what ive heard romans brought a lot of inovations across europe to much less civilized cultures but the greek already had gucci toilets and everything
Paganism stemming all the way back to the bronze age was very "open minded". Basically, "well the people in the next city over worship a different god, lets worship that one alongside ours just to cover our bases", and that is the very oversimplified reason why so many pagan gods are very similar and spread so far.
Even Judaism was originally polytheistic.
yeha thats one of the reasons the polytheistic religions seem like they could be better to me, because unlike abrahamic religions they dont seem to be so against omni-critical thinking for the sake of self preservation, and I wonder, so polytheistic greece survived, would it have had a much earlier renaissance considering they had the basis of the sciontific method 2k years ago, and the main opposition to the philosophy of the scientific method is abrahamic religions that push to the extreem the idea that you should just believe some things without question, aristotle would not aprove
Blame Plato, it's all his fault.
Seriously, fuck Plato.
lol
Also fuck Kant.
Im so glad aristotle existed just so he could show how flawed plato was to the rest of humanity throughout time
Too bad they didn't fucking listen.
we listened <:pepehands:378719408367075333>
Then Kant fucked it all up again.
new brain who dis?
Immanuel Kant
lol just read his wiki bio, "space in time are just things in themselves but their nature is unknowable"
how do these cretins come to be
its like when instead of actually reading the melian dialogue people just hear the quote "the strong do what they can, while the weak suffer what they must" and then go all 'but the strong could be nice to people, its just that the capitalists/bourjois zee are evil' even tho the melians said this, and the athenians then explained thousands of years ago fully explains why this thinking is horse shit
