I Have Proof That Apollo Exists
April 30, 2014 at 4:24 am
(This post was last modified: April 30, 2014 at 4:25 am by Confused Ape.)
I once had a dream about Apollo. He had an awesome presence in the dream and I knew he was a god. I decided to look into this.
1: There are a lot of old temples that were dedicated to him. Why would people worship him if he doesn't exist?
2: There are three surviving hymns to him, one by Homer and the other two known as the Delphic hymns. Why would anyone write hymns to him if he doesn't exist?
3: There are stories about him. Why would there be stories about a god who doesn't exist?
4: A quick look round the internet shows that some people still worship him and pray to him. Why would 21st century people worship a god who doesn't exist?
I don't believe in the God of the Bible because he's never appeared to me in a dream. If he ever does I'll have to accept that he exists as well. After all, there are cathedrals/churches dedicated to his worship, people sing hymns to him and pray to him and there are a lot of stories about him.

Not to.mention the sun rises everyday, why? because Apollo is God of the sun.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Even more proof that he exists.

I've seen a statue of Apollo. Would they make a statue of he doesn't exist?

This is very true. It proves that people must have seen him because they knew what he looks like.

I had a dream about the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters, he had a film made about hem and several million toys.
He's definitely real.

He's really a demonic Sumerian deity. It's appalling that there are toys of him. Parents should be warned that their children are being corrupted.

I just did a google search. He must be real.

But deep down he's a big fluffy sugar daddy.
