Exactly. Or he'll send your arse to Hades for all eternity for denying him.

Considering that the Greek gods had been around for centuries before the dawn of Christianity, I can certainly see this as being a viable religion. At least they're not destructive, like certain other religions I see.

Hehe I was going to say exactly what 2ndhandsmoker said. Instead I'll just give him a +1 I guess.

I'll just keep praying to my Jesus' Face Fishstick...eventually, my dream of a fish stick God will come true and it will rule the world as the sole religion!!! Muhahaha!

P.S. Didn't greeks sort of steal the Roman's idea of the Gods? Both are very similar.

Romans stole it from us fool.

Greece = before Romans.

In fact, not only did the Romans steal Greek religion, but Greek architecture, philosophies, culture, military strategies, language, and traditions.

Hence why the Romans were dubbed as "Greek lovers"

I dont see what wrong with worshiping Zeus, Athena, Ares, and the likes.

At least they have a form even if there gods, unlike monotheist religions, like Christianity Islam and Judaism.

Or maybe it because the 3 big cheese are afraid of something, new/old.

They call it a cult, me i just call it an old making a comeback.

Just an excuse to dress up. But as long as they don't damage the ruins why not let them roleplay to their heart's content.

If that's the case, can we get a one of the more bloody religions back? Like one where we have to sacrifice people to keep the sun spinning and what not? What defines a religion anyways?

I mean, come on, if thing's have been going so smoothly before this religion came up, how much would change with this religion? It's not like the Greek Gods will suddenly rise up from whatever place they were resting from and decide to smite the world for not believing in them.

I for one wish them well and hope they get the recognition they deserve, as a religion.

this is stupid, but not any more stupid than any other one. You either worship some carpenter, his mom, some prophet, or some 8 limbed thing at the center of the earth, some alien, or some thunder god. It's all retarded
