The christian pantheon
December 11, 2013 at 12:58 pm
I have been reading a good history book lately, and it includes the Greek and Roman gods. This made me think that even Protestant Christianity still has a pantheon. Especially you have god the father, a high king figure, you have the holy spirit a messager type mysterious guy and a Apollo like character in Jesus
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.

No, no....they will tell you 1+1+1=1 because in addition to everything else they have poor math skills.

I think the only people that don't see a pantheon in Catholicism are Catholics.

I think it is quite hilarious that the Abrahamic religions deny the polytheism of their religion.
Father gods, messenger gods, mother gods, child gods, evil gods, benevolent gods (?), the list is identical to any of the polytheistic religions that the Abraham ones grew out from.
Same shit, different deity

He's hiding.
Ashamed of his behaviour in the OT.
Why do you think he no longer makes personal appearances? (And it has nothing to do with modern science being able to test him and his miracles . . .)
