    Wouldn't Polytheism be the true opposite of atheism?

    I don't think all gods are the same myself. I think the Greek gods are the Greek gods, the Norse are the Norse, etc. and might not even be the same kind of beings.

    Are you for bringing back sacrifice in your religion?

    You eat meat?

    Why "one God"?

    Islam can teach whatever it wants to teach. Jesus, David, Solomon, etc. were Jews. They were all from Judah, which is the root of Jew. When Israel split into two kingdoms because of Jeroboam usurping power, Judah were those loyal to David's house, because he was of that tribe. History and...

    Why "one God"?

    Why do you think I'm annoyed? o_O

    Why "one God"?

    Islam CLAIMS it was there from day one anyway. The Quran says what I said about safwa and marwa.

    Why "one God"?

    Studying Islam doesn't entail acceptance you know :)

    Why "one God"?

    I call telling polytheists your god will kill them if they reject you threats. As I asked already: why couldn't Muhammad bring legitimate arguments against polytheism? And the Kabba was a pagan temple. That's historical and archeological fact. The Quran even admits certain elements of the Haaj...

    Why "one God"?

    No, I forgot. He also rallied an invasion force in order to STEAL a pagan temple from its native inhabitants, who were polytheists. Also, he did use threats. The Quran says if the polytheists want to argue with you repeat to them the stories about Noah, etc. As though that were arguments that...

    Why "one God"?

    Which you have no evidence of. You've provided none in this whole thread. You haven't refuted any polytheistic arguments. You just keep referencing the Quran, which we don't accept. Can I ask why Muhammad refused to debate with the polytheist leaders of his time if he truly had the truth and...

    Atheism, or theism, which is by-default among human beings ?

    Polytheism, seeing as that's what the whole world was prior to monotheistic wars and coercion.

    Why "one God"?

    Yeah because you totally speak for me. You'd totally know what I experience right?

    Are you for bringing back sacrifice in your religion?

    I'm not for reviving whole burnt offerings either, and I actually think there's some room to re-evaluate sacrificial practice in my particular tradition. We needn't do everything like the ancients, heh One myth says Prometheus taught man to sacrifice, but basically slighted the gods by teaching...

    Wouldn't Polytheism be the true opposite of atheism?

    That would depend where one was in the ancient world. There were true atheists in the ancient world that believed in nothing. Most of them were admittedly the elite, and regarded the state rites as common. I'll definitely agree some demonization probably went on. Most of the Roman populace was...

    So we're no longer 'friends'

    Renji they weren't real friends. I know that may not be what a person would want to hear at such times, but your real friends like you for you.

    Your polytheistic religious experiences.

    I already shared in another thread that I believe I've felt Athena because I was thinking on her at the time. I've also gotten sudden smells of incense, which is believed in many traditions to be indicative of a god's presence. I've also seen what the ancient Hellenes would've called an omen in...

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    Oh I agree there were things about the cultural gender roles that we'd call archaic. I'd also point out though this could vary be city-state, lest it be mistaken the Hellenes had a unified culture like Egypt.

    Wouldn't Polytheism be the true opposite of atheism?

    Most polytheists accept there could be any number of deities, as many gods as are stars. By contrast, monotheists usually deny all gods except their own, making them effectively atheistic toward all other deities. Doesn't this make polytheism atheism's true opposite in worldviews?
