Zeus wins by far

[jshm2]

That's a false dichotomy you have there, kiddo.

Zeus was never an actual "god". He was a philosophical placeholder by the old Greeks to help explain natural phenomenon. There were cults who worshiped, but the majority never did. A lot of the stories were for entertainment and education, not religious text.

[Vivaldi]

There is no actual god.

[Vivaldi]

All Gods are man made, including Allah.

[Vivaldi]

Greek Gods are same as Roman Gods, only names are different.

[Vivaldi]

Jupiter is the same god as Zeus, for instance.

[TwoToTooTutu2]

God is the Lord of Heaven and Zeus (Beelzebub) is the lord of Flies. Tell me which sounds more mighty.

[toad_sage_jiraiya]

Zeus came long before beelzebub as I understand it, where did you find this connection?

[TwoToTooTutu2]

Hermeticism. Zeus is Baal, and Baal is Beelzebub

Strictly speaking its all made up so neither.

This is the most confusing thing about religion to me though, if you are going to invest your whole life into worshipping an imaginary friend why not pick one of the cool ones?

Greek and Norse Gods are vastly superior to all of the Gods worshipped by most people these days.

Even Ra is solid choice, at least the sun is a real thing and not only that but all of the atoms that make our world and everything in it were made inside stars and the sun feeds us with its energy.

Why anyone would worship Allah with these clearly objectively superior choices available is mind boggling.

Zeus is not the Creator even in his own religion. Chaos is the Creator in Greek Mythology.

Allah is the Creator in his own religion. Therefore Chaos is equivalent to Allah, and Zeus is nothing more than a puppet, a false god.

[Guy13]

They are both false gods, therefore, neither are strong enough. Saving faith is found In and Through Christ Jesus.

[toad_sage_jiraiya]

Muslims follow the same God as jews and Christians

@toad_sage_jiraiya

Its proper name is Allah, though.

[Guy13]

You do NOT. Allah is head of the pantheon of gods originating from Mecca. It is a moon god hence your crescent moon symbol. And, that Ramadan and other main holidays in Islam begin at crescent moon. It is amazing how little Islam knows of its heritage. I have lived and neighbored Islamic countries. I learned this from multiple cultural Muslims. It is many of their reason for rejecting a man-made religion. And there are numerous historical elements which they have conveyed to me.

[toad_sage_jiraiya]

Doesn't matter what you call it Allah is just Arabic for god

[toad_sage_jiraiya]

First of all I'm not Muslim second of all its literally all in the Quran I suggest you read it, Muhammad said he believes in the same God that appears before Abraham and Moses, further more Jesus exists in the Quran as a prophet of God and last but not least they have the same old testament stories i. e. Adam and eve, Moses and the Egyptians etc.

@toad_sage_jiraiya

Ilah is arabic word for God.

Allah is a proper name for God that muslims believe in.

There is no ilah (god) but Allah and Muhammed is the messenger of Allah

[toad_sage_jiraiya]

Not to mention at one point some viking tribes later adopted Jesus to their pantheon of existing gods, so you can say Jesus was a part of a pantheon as well

[Vivaldi]

@toad_sage_jiraiya

But Allah is a proper name for it.

ilah is what god means in arabic.

Zeus is also an ilah (god) but Zeus is not Allah but a different ilah (god) than Allah.

[Vivaldi]

Islam made Allah a proper name for one believed ilah.

[TwoToTooTutu2]

Allah comes from Eloah which is an old Name for YHWE. Coming from. Elohim or El. Similar to Adonai as well.

[Vivaldi]

@TwoToTooTutu2

Allah comes from Al-Ilah (The God). However, Islam made Allah a proper name for God.

Ilah is a regular word for God while Allah is proper name, which comes from Al-Ilah (Not God but The God).

[TwoToTooTutu2]

Yes the word is derived from Eloah.
