  • Which religions in the world believe in polytheism?

    Is there anyone who still follows ancient Greek religion?

    Yes, there are people today who follow the ancient Greek religion, often referred to as Hellenism or Hellenic polytheism. Hellenism seeks to revive and practice the religious traditions, rituals, and worship of the ancient Greek gods and goddesses. This modern movement is a form of neopaganism and has been gaining followers in Greece and around the world since the late 20th century.

    Practitioners of Hellenism aim to reconstruct the ancient Greek religious practices as accurately as possible, based on historical texts, archaeological findings, and ancient art. They celebrate traditional festivals, perform rituals, and offer prayers and sacrifices to the Olympian gods and other deities and spirits revered in ancient Greece.

    In Greece, Hellenism has achieved some level of formal recognition. In 2017, the Supreme Council of Ethnic Hellenes (YSEE), an organization that promotes the revival of the ancient Greek religion, received official recognition from the Greek government as a known religion. This milestone was significant for its practitioners, affirming their right to worship and practice their religion openly.

    The revival of ancient Greek religion is part of a broader interest in neopaganism, which seeks to resurrect and adapt pre-Christian religions for the modern era. Followers often emphasize a deep connection to nature, the importance of ritual, and a polytheistic worldview as central elements of their faith.

    Polytheism, the belief in or worship of multiple gods, is a characteristic of several religions around the world, both ancient and contemporary. Some of the prominent religions that embrace polytheism include:

    1. Hinduism: One of the oldest and the third-largest religion in the world, Hinduism presents a complex pantheon of gods and goddesses, each with distinct attributes, duties, and stories. Major deities include Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver, and Shiva the Destroyer, among many others.
    2. Ancient Greek Religion: The ancient Greeks worshipped a pantheon of gods and goddesses who resided on Mount Olympus, each embodying different aspects of life and nature. Well-known deities include Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athena, and Apollo.
    3. Ancient Roman Religion: Similar to Greek religion but with distinct names and attributes, the Romans worshipped a multitude of gods and goddesses, such as Jupiter, Juno, Neptune, Mars, and Venus.
    4. Norse Religion: Before the spread of Christianity in Scandinavia, the Norse people worshipped a pantheon of gods and goddesses associated with various aspects of life and the cosmos, including Odin, Thor, Freya, and Loki.
    5. Shinto: Japan’s indigenous faith, Shinto, involves the worship of kami, spirits associated with natural phenomena, objects, and ancestors. It does not have a single founder or scripture but is characterized by various rituals and festivals honoring these spirits.
    6. Celtic Polytheism: The ancient Celts in Europe worshipped a variety of gods and goddesses, often associated with natural elements and aspects of daily life. This religion largely gave way to Christianity but has influenced folk customs and beliefs in parts of Europe.
    7. Egyptian Religion: Ancient Egyptians worshipped a multitude of gods and goddesses, each with roles in maintaining the balance of the universe. Key figures include Ra, Isis, Osiris, and Anubis.
    8. Cananite Religion: The Canaanites, who lived in what is now Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, worshipped a pantheon of gods, including El, Baal, Asherah, and Astarte.
    9. Mesopotamian Religion: The peoples of ancient Mesopotamia, such as the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians, worshipped many gods associated with natural elements and urban life, including Anu, Enlil, Ishtar, and Marduk.
    10. African Traditional Religions: Many indigenous religions in Africa are polytheistic, venerating a supreme god along with a host of lesser deities and spirits associated with natural features, ancestors, and societal values.
    11. Modern Paganism/Wicca: Contemporary pagan and Wiccan traditions often embrace polytheism, drawing on ancient Celtic, Norse, Greek, Roman, and other polytheistic religions for inspiration.

    These religions vary greatly in their beliefs, practices, and the roles their deities play in the lives of their followers. Polytheism highlights the diversity of the divine as perceived by different cultures and societies throughout history.

  • Did feudal Japanese samurai believe in gods?

    Feudal Japanese samurai, like many people in pre-modern Japan, were influenced by a mix of religious beliefs and practices, including Shintoism and Buddhism. Shinto, Japan’s indigenous spirituality, is polytheistic, featuring a pantheon of gods and spirits known as kami, which are believed to inhabit natural features such as mountains, trees, rivers, and rocks, as well as ancestors and historical figures. Buddhism, which was introduced to Japan in the 6th century, brought with it a complex array of deities, bodhisattvas, and other spiritual beings.

    Samurai, being a part of the Japanese social fabric, would have participated in these religious traditions. They might have prayed to certain kami for success in battle, protection, and good fortune, or followed Buddhist practices seeking spiritual enlightenment, strength, or solace. It was not uncommon for samurai to turn to Buddhism later in life, seeking peace and atonement for the lives they had taken in battle.

    Moreover, the warrior ethos of the samurai was influenced by Zen Buddhism from the Kamakura period onwards. Zen’s emphasis on meditation, discipline, and the immediate reality of the present moment resonated with the samurai’s martial values, helping them to face battle and death with calmness and composure.

    In addition to Shinto and Buddhism, elements of Confucianism also influenced samurai culture, particularly in terms of ethics and duty. While not a religion but a philosophical system, Confucianism’s emphasis on loyalty, respect for hierarchy, and filial piety were integral to the samurai’s code of conduct, or bushido.

    Thus, while the samurai’s belief in gods would have been shaped by the wider religious context of Japan, their spirituality was also deeply personal, blending aspects of Shinto, Buddhism, and Confucian philosophy to form a worldview that supported their way of life and duties as warriors.

  • Disable comments, disable email?

    OK now with ChatGPT, AI, robots and bots on the Internet; there is really zero faith whether anything online is real anymore.

    For example, even with YouTube or whatever; it is so so so so so easy for any newbie to create a fake comment generation bot, perhaps also an Instagram or whatever; and use this as a gateway to fish (phish) you.

    For example, even with emails; using ChatGPT 4 and beyond, it is insanely easy for me to send a fake email promising some sort of monetary reward or campaign or whatever, making it sound super professional.

    Or in other words, how can you verify whether the email that you got about an exciting new opportunity was written by ChatGPT4, a human, or a hybrid of both? You cannot.

    Solution:

    Just delete them, just disable them.

  • START BUILDING NOW

    What is the best time to start building your website or posting or whatever? Right now.

  • STONE OF JORDAN (SOJ’s) & BITCOIN?

    For those of us who played Diablo II, one interesting micro economy that happened and occurred was this notion of a SOJ, or a stone of Jordan; the general idea was that certain items were worth X amount of stone of Jordans (SOJ’s for short).

    This becomes very interesting because I almost wonder, maybe we could use the stone of Jordans, SOJ’s as an analogy for bitcoin.

    For example, if you wanted the lightsaber, the mythical sword I actually wanted for my paladin in Diablo II— which never missed, let us say it cost maybe 5 SOJ’s. I actually wonder if down the world, people will trade their rare Ferraris for bitcoin as well.

    For example, let us say you have a very rare Ferrari F40, maybe they will trade it for 3 bitcoins or something.

    or another thought; thinking more long-term; my personal vision is that I will purchase my first house or property for 1.3 bitcoin. For me the current analogy is that one bitcoin is worth $1 million dollars USD.

    For example with houses, especially here in Culver City Los Angeles etc.; you cannot find a single-family house for less than $2.3 million. That is $1 million a bedroom — for just a generic 2 bed, maybe 1 bath maybe 2 bag.

  • THE HALVING

    The reason why the impending halving for bitcoin is such a big deal, is that with any big technological shift or happening, it will stimulate interest, news reports, social media whatever, which will drive prices up.

    Or in other words, start hoarding your bitcoin right now!

    Human Psychology

    The reason why I feel that I’m so well adjusted and qualified to talk about this is because I think I am a genius and a master of human psychology.

    For example, the halving; even Cindy knows about it, and she only has a superficial knowledge of crypto and bitcoin.

    Scarcity?

    Bitcoin is so fascinating to me because technically it’s not really worth anything; but… With any sort of commodity, we seem to prize things when it is more scarce.

    For example video games, if you think about Diablo II etc.; a lot of these legendary items are extremely rare and scarce, therefore it has higher values.

  • Who owns Hulu?

    Hulu is currently owned by The Walt Disney Company. It was initially established as a joint venture involving several companies, including News Corporation and NBCUniversal, along with Providence Equity. However, over time, Disney has taken a more significant role in the ownership and operation of Hulu oai_citation:1,Hulu – Wikipedia.

    Hulu was launched on October 29, 2007, as a joint venture between several major media companies including News Corporation, NBC Universal (now NBCUniversal), and later The Walt Disney Company, along with Providence Equity. The platform was designed to serve as an aggregation of recent episodes of television series from their respective television broadcasting networks. Hulu represented a significant shift in the way media was consumed, moving away from traditional television viewing towards online streaming. The service was one of the first of its kind, offering both a free, ad-supported tier and a premium subscription model.

    Initially, Hulu focused on streaming episodes of television shows from its founding partners and other networks. However, over time, it expanded its offerings to include a wider range of content, including movies, documentaries, and its original content. In recent years, Hulu has become known for its original programming, producing critically acclaimed series and films.

    Ownership of Hulu has shifted over time, with Disney eventually taking a controlling interest. This transition was part of broader media industry trends, with companies seeking to strengthen their digital and streaming capabilities in response to changing consumer preferences. Today, Hulu continues to be a key player in the streaming landscape, offering a wide range of content to viewers in the United States oai_citation:1,Hulu – Wikipedia.

  • EVERYDAY IS DAY ONE

    Is this a good line of thinking?

  • Deus etymology

    The etymology of “deus,” the Latin word for “god,” shares a fascinating lineage with its Greek counterpart, deeply intertwined with ancient Indo-European linguistic roots, reflecting broader themes of cultural and philosophical development. “Deus” originates from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *deiwós, which is derived from the base *dyeu-, meaning “to shine” or “the sky.” This root reflects a common ancient conceptualization of gods as celestial beings or as associated with the sky and light, embodying the divine as that which is above, luminous, and powerful.

    This PIE root *dyeu- also gives rise to related terms in various Indo-European languages, emphasizing the widespread nature of this conceptualization of the divine. For example, the Sanskrit word “devá” (देव), meaning “god,” and the Old Norse “Týr,” a god associated with law and heroic glory, share the same PIE root, illustrating the deep linguistic and cultural connections across ancient Indo-European societies.

    In Latin, “deus” came to denote god or deity in a general sense, used both for the pantheon of Roman gods and, later, within Christian Latin, to refer to the monotheistic God of Christianity. This evolution in usage reflects the shifting religious landscapes and the incorporation of Roman religious practices into Christian theology.

    The etymology of “deus” encapsulates the intersection of language, religion, and philosophy, shedding light on how ancient peoples conceptualized the divine. This understanding highlights the significance of light and the heavens in shaping human notions of divinity, echoing themes of innovation, as humans continually reinterpreted and reshaped their spiritual landscapes in response to changing cultural and philosophical paradigms.

  • theos

    The etymology of “θεός” (theós), the Greek word for “god,” offers a fascinating insight into ancient Greek culture, philosophy, and linguistics, aligning with your interests. The term is rooted in ancient Indo-European languages, with its origins tracing back to the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) *dhes-, meaning “to sanctify” or “to set apart.” This root suggests a conception of the divine as something distinct from the mundane, consecrated, or holy.

    As it evolved into Ancient Greek, “θεός” (theós) came to denote not just the concept of divinity in a general sense but also referred to a deity or a god in the pantheon of Greek mythology. The transition from a verb with a sense of action (to sanctify) to a noun embodying the concept of divinity reflects the deep interconnection between language, religion, and culture in ancient societies.

    The influence of “θεός” extends beyond the realm of linguistics into philosophy and theology, where it has been used to discuss the nature of divinity, the divine attributes, and the relationship between the divine and the human. This term and its derivatives have been central to theological discourse in Western philosophy, significantly influencing Christian theology and philosophical debates about the nature of God, the divine, and the sacred.

    Understanding the etymology of “θεός” thus provides not just a linguistic insight but also a window into the philosophical and cultural contexts that shaped ancient Greek thought. It underscores the importance of language in framing our understanding of the divine and the sacred, resonating with themes of innovation and entrepreneurship in the realm of ideas and beliefs.

    How to say god in Greek and Latin

    In Greek, the word for “god” is “θεός” (theós). In Latin, it’s “deus.” Both languages have had profound influences on the philosophy, religion, and culture of the Western world, reflecting your interests in aesthetics and philosophy. The terms themselves carry rich connotations and historical contexts, especially when considering the pantheistic traditions of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as their impact on later monotheistic traditions and philosophical thought.

  • Etymology of “god”

    To call, to invoke. gewh— to call, name, shout out, cry, cry on.

    Also similar to pour? ghew—

    The etymology of the word “god” traces back to Old English “god,” which itself comes from Proto-Germanic “gudan.” The Proto-Germanic term is believed to be derived from the Proto-Indo-European “ǵhu-tó-m,” which is a derivative of the root “*ǵhau(É™)-,” meaning “to call” or “to invoke.”

    The original meaning of the Proto-Indo-European root is associated with invoking or calling upon a higher power. This root evolved in various related languages to denote a deity or a supreme being. For instance, in Old Norse, the word became “guð,” in Dutch it turned into “god,” and in German, “Gott.”

    The transition from a verb meaning “to invoke” to a noun referring to the entity being invoked illustrates the development of religious and spiritual concepts among Indo-European speaking peoples. The word “god” in English has come to represent a wide range of meanings, from the monotheistic God of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam to the gods and goddesses of polytheistic religions, and even more abstract concepts of divinity or supreme beingness.

    For example, if you’re afraid of skin cancer or whatever, just put on sunblock! At Costco they sell a really good banana boat SPF 50 combination, which is two spray bottles and the lotion.

  • Death, destruction, ugliness and darkness?

    My critique of a lot of modern day aesthetics, movies cinema film etc. is that it is so focused on death, destruction, ugliness?

    The panacea and solution: live in LA go to the top of the Baldwin hills park hiking steps recreation area—

    I think the secret and the tip is drive up a bit, where you have a panopticon m view of the whole city, and maximum sunlight from all directions.

    Something I discovered even while living in LA is that truth be told, a lot of the buildings, environments, apartments houses etc. are sequestered in the shade or the darkness.

    So what ends up being the problem here? It seems in the problem is that our whole lives, we are essentially like the mole people. Lacking any direct light, exposure to the elements, exposure to nature etc.

    Also a really big problem I see here is that as a consequence, our children also end up becoming the mole people. let us consider, when you wake up, most of our homes are dark and in the shade. Therefore when your kids wake up, they are stuck indoors all day. Then you shuttle them into a car, which is another indoor place. Then you shuttle them to school, which is all indoors, dark and damp. Maybe the only get 30 minutes of sunlight a day from recess. And also it looks like a modern day times there is also a war on recess, and play. In fact I even hear that there are some schools getting rid of PE, getting rid of physical education.

  • Moses & Egypt

    OK — let us consider Moses as a real life human being, and leader.

    Why Moses?

    To understand Judaism, the trend towards this one god myth, or monotheistic trend is best to be seen from the perspective as Moses as taking his people and followers and searching for the “promised land”. Moses as the first “Jesus messiah” figure?

    Historicity of Moses

    The historicity of Moses, a central figure in the Abrahamic religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, has been a subject of debate among scholars, historians, and archaeologists for many years. While Moses is a foundational figure, seen as a lawgiver, prophet, and leader who delivered the Israelites from Egyptian bondage and received the Ten Commandments from God, historical evidence outside of religious texts is sparse.

    From Religious Texts:

    • The primary sources about Moses’ life and deeds are found within religious texts, such as the Torah in Judaism (particularly the first five books of the Hebrew Bible), the Bible in Christianity, and mentions in the Quran in Islam.
    • These texts provide detailed narratives of Moses’ life, including his birth, early life in Egypt, leading the Israelites out of Egypt (the Exodus), and receiving the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai.

    Historical and Archaeological Perspectives:

    • Archaeological evidence for the existence of Moses or the events described in the biblical narrative of the Exodus is limited and remains a contentious area of research.
    • Some scholars argue that the lack of direct archaeological evidence and historical records outside the biblical narrative makes it difficult to confirm the existence of Moses as a historical figure. The Egyptian records from the time when Moses is supposed to have lived do not mention him or the plagues and events described in the Exodus story.
    • Other scholars and theologians argue that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and maintain that the stories of Moses and the Exodus have a basis in historical events, albeit possibly embellished over centuries of oral tradition before being written down.
    • The debate often centers on the timing of the Exodus, with various proposed dates ranging within the late Bronze Age (around 1550-1200 BCE). However, these proposals often rely on correlating biblical chronologies with archaeological and historical evidence, which is itself subject to interpretation and debate.

    Scholarly Consensus:

    • There is no scholarly consensus on the historicity of Moses. While some view him as a historical figure who was later mythologized, others see him as a symbolic or mythical figure who embodies the experiences and aspirations of the Israelite people.
    • The quest for archaeological evidence continues, and interpretations of existing evidence remain varied and often influenced by the scholars’ perspectives.

    In summary, the historicity of Moses remains a complex and debated topic, with positions varying widely among scholars, archaeologists, and theologians. The lack of contemporary, external evidence makes it challenging to reach a definitive conclusion about his historical existence.

  • Father & Child Mythologies

    Father and child relationships are central themes in many mythologies around the world, reflecting complex dynamics of power, inheritance, rivalry, and affection. Here are some notable examples from various cultures:

    1. Zeus and His Children (Greek Mythology)

    • Zeus, the king of the gods, had numerous children, both divine and mortal. His relationships with them varied greatly. For instance, he swallowed Metis and their unborn child, Athena, fearing a prophecy that his child would overthrow him. Athena later emerged fully grown from Zeus’s head. His relationship with Hercules, a mortal son, involved both aid and significant trials.

    2. Odin and His Sons (Norse Mythology)

    • Odin, the All-Father in Norse mythology, had several important sons, including Thor, the god of thunder, and Baldur, the god of beauty. Odin’s desire to prevent Baldur’s prophesied death led to a complex series of events that ultimately brought about the very outcome he sought to avoid.

    3. Shiva and Ganesha (Hindu Mythology)

    • Shiva, one of the principal deities of Hinduism, beheaded his own son Ganesha in a fit of rage, not realizing Ganesha was his child. After discovering his mistake, he replaced Ganesha’s head with that of an elephant, bringing him back to life and bestowing upon him the status of being worshipped first among the gods.

    4. Jupiter and Saturn (Roman Mythology)

    • In Roman mythology, Jupiter (the Roman equivalent of Zeus) overthrew his father, Saturn, who had swallowed all of his children at birth to avoid a prophecy that he would be overthrown by his son. Jupiter was hidden at birth and later fulfilled the prophecy by freeing his siblings and overthrowing Saturn.

    5. Osiris and Horus (Egyptian Mythology)

    • Horus, the falcon-headed god, was the son of Osiris and Isis. After Osiris was murdered and dismembered by his brother Seth, Horus sought to avenge his father’s death and reclaim the throne. The conflict between Horus and Seth is a central myth in Egyptian mythology, embodying the themes of rightful succession and the struggle between order and chaos.

    6. Taliesin and Elffin (Welsh Mythology)

    • In Welsh mythology, Taliesin, a legendary bard, is discovered by Elffin, the son of Gwyddno Garanhir, in a salmon weir. Though not his biological father, Elffin raises Taliesin, who in turn brings great fortune to his adoptive father through his prophetic and poetic talents.

    These mythologies showcase the diverse ways in which the father-child relationship is explored, often reflecting the values, fears, and aspirations of the cultures from which they originate.
