Quote:Er, I think you'll find they did.
The ancient Egyptians believed that their Pharaoh was the living embodiment of god on earth. A divine being.
Same as the Emperor in feudal Japan. They believed he was a divine being.
Same horse shit Christians spout about jesus.
Quote:They no longer practice these beliefs that is why they have been dismissed.Oh dear! And Protestants don't practice the beliefs of Catholicism and orthodox Christianity and before that the practices of Judaism, as the earliest Christians were just an ultra orthodox Jewish sect. Religions change and die all the time just like other natural phenomena. Just because Christianity isn't dead yet doesn't mean it is true. The fastest growing religion is islam does that make it true?
