I have become a megatheist. I buy into all the gods.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Even the bible says there are plenty of side bitches. God just doesn’t want you to have any.

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago

That doesn't even say you cant worship other gods, just that this god comes first?

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Praise Zeus! <-- bad

...but not as much as Yahweh! Man, he's the best! <-- a-okay!

New gospel: All Gods are real and the reason they no longer meddle in the affairs of mortals is because they are too busy fighting their wars in heaven.

New gospel: All Gods are real

That's the old gospel. Even at the time of the apostles polylatry (like idolatry, but different). All the gods are real but this god is your god. Hence all the proscriptions against idolatry and other gods.

And they fought in spirit and by archons. When David slew Goliath (or his chroniclers stole valor from Ethanan), that was a contest between gods, even as modern interpretations of the fight coach it in materialist terms.

The rising denial of gods via monotheism occurred after Caesar became Christian since prior Caesars got into the habit of persecuting those who didn't worship Caesar's god, or eventually Caesar, himself.

Sorry, I never read The Lord of the Rings so I don't understand any of this lore.

[-] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Since I have been talking about LOTR lore in other comment threads, you totally threw me.

The Silmarillion: still makes more sense than the Bible.

[-] bravesirrbn@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

That sounds metal AF

I just finished reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman so this theory seems good to me!

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 days ago

Ha! Love the idea of joining a church and then comparing their god to all the other ones. “Who do you think would win in a fight?” And watch the feathers fly

Goku has plot power level ups up his ass

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

If we are going by canon.

Jaweh controls the universe surrounding the Dragonball Universe.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

But what if Goku shows up with an iron chariot? (Judges 1:19)

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 21 hours ago

Yuweh would just smite the artist who drew it.

YHVH is biblically the god of earth, and that is a promotion from god of Israel.

Only in the last few centuries has our understanding of the scope of the universe expanded to make that infinitesimally insignificant in the scope of the universe, even if the earth is still critical to us.

Sadly, the dominionists may drive us to extinction.
