The fuck?

aztec, greeks, japanese, egyptians, etc. they all have gods of the sun, war, harvest, etc. all with out any contact with each other that could spread the religion.

christians pop up in the levant and spread. yet you never find christians already existing in a place that christians have first arrived in. there were no christian abos, or christian incans before contact with the West.


now many civilians without contact with each other, develop the same math and sciences. everyone agreed upon 1+1=2 with out having to share the idea around. you never see a new civilization being discovered that thinks 1+1=3.


so the aztecs, egyptians, and the japanese all agree there is a sun god before contact. then does't this make their similar religions more likely to be true?

It could be that ancient cultures had similar themes running throughout them leading to their personification and deification.
> Wow, this force of nature is really something, it must be a deity.
> Gee whiz, this war sure fucking sucks, let us ask the god who controls war to aid us.
> We had a plentiful harvest this year! That couldn't have been good planning, fertile conditions, and improved agricultural methods!

It seems to me that pagan pantheons often contain a supreme male skygod and a female companion responsible for fertility and love.

before Eratosthenes showed that the earth was round everybody probably thought the earth was flat
doesn't mean it's flat

honestly gods of war, sun, harvest and stuff are so fucking basic it's obvious you'll find them in every pagan religion

also what this guy says >>2794735
they're all humans doing the same stuff

Strange, because the bible says that there is none who understands; none who seek after God.

Oh, wait, that's what you're saying too.

The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts.

“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?

Then why did irrigation and improved agricultural methods exist during the late 8th century BC?
