hmm...whos going to get the back up; regardless of "merrit" as jonman so eloquently spelt it ?
The guy who is actually right, or the one with 29thousand too many posts...
Im not sensitive to anything but people who speak as if they know something is a fact..when they don't.
Animism is an idea, not a religious system - try again?
Thats like classifying veganism a religious system..but im sure that predates sun worship too because of herbivores? What a joke. Do some research and save us.
The worship of the sun is the origins of Jesus Christ and is the oldest known religious belief on earth. The original 12 disciples were the 12 astrological signs of the zodiac. Science is not athiestic. Prove to me that animism is older than the hand me down religion of jesus christ. You trace the worship of christ all the way back...through mythraism, horus, osiris, and into pre-dynastic egypt.. And tell me animism is older.
Look at some of the oldest jewelery found on earth. One you could look up is a copper amulet shaped as the sun with 12 rays of light beaming from it dated to 17,000bc. But animism is surely older... I dont worship the sun...you are a panentheist.... panentheism is one move from animism and even includes animism in some cases..
Hmmmmm who could be carrying the bias..
The one stating the fact or the one speaking on his beliefs..
Animism
The belief in the existence of individual spirits that inhabit natural objects and phenomena. Dated to the stone age..
I personally think the sun is older than the stone age, and as with humanity.
Sun worship
- A religion with roots untraceable due to the age of humanity and the prominence of the sun in our lives.
"actually from all the evidence we've collected, animism is in fact the earliest form of worship. Your random speculation as to worshipping the sun is just your own biased opinion, so it has absolutely no merrit."
Jonman... show me your bevy of evidence, tell me who 'we' is and how youve collected this evidence.
And sure.... sun worship is my own random speculation......... and my own biased opinion - because i do not worship the sun. Get real mate.
This predates christ and is from a pagan greek culture in which christ was called ihsous, what is that on the ground...hmm.
On his long journey, the sun of god has been called
I guess sun worship is my own speculation...
:no:
