(Please note that the same happened when ancient Sumerian non-believers visited the famous Cedar Forest, the gods’ dwelling place, up in the mountains. They found nobody there.)
Zeus was constantly raping women (and little boys too) and there came a time when his children, who were furious at him for having raped their mothers, decided to go up to his Palace on Mount Olympus and pay him a lesson.
Zeus was told of their intentions and did something terrible. Something that was to enslave humanity to the race of the gods forever: he disguised himself into a messenger (“Angel” in Greek) and when his children arrived he told them: “Sorry, you were a bit late, Zeus went off to live on the clouds”!
That is how the spiritual gods were born!
How come and we, clever modern people, do not wonder on the fact that those supposedly bright ancient Greeks and superb Sumerians all believed that their gods lived on Mountains and not up in the sky?
Theologians moved the gods from the mountains to the sky and we are now discussing the existence of a god who from the mountains moved to the clouds then to the sky No.1, to the sky No. 7 and then to the outskirts of the universe!!
Sorry Gentlemen, but that’s quite ridiculous for humans who can afford all the information which is available today.
You want to know the story of the God? Read ancient texts (Old Testament included) and then ask yourselves how is it possible that wherever on earth (Europe, Asia and the Americas) the people “imagined” gods they thought of them accompanied by their private messengers (angels).
That’s a puzzle worth solving.
