I think that the even better argument against the existence of Gods
are religions who define Gods irrationally and anti-logically.
The more irrational the expectations of what God would be like,
the less chance that God exist.
For example all human religions not based on reason and logic
are...
Love this topic.
All moral questions are irrelevant for the existence of a diety becouse there no reason to believe that dieties must be moral beings.

The later Etruscian view was the best.

Before they believed everyone went to a paradiac afterlife.
what happened to make them so cynic...
The people of Sodom comes in mind. We can't accept that a whole city was evil and deserved destruction.
Also weren't the people who lived in Isreal before the Jes murdered
becouse God wanted them to have the land it was good?
What about the story of poor Job being tested by the accuser?

The old baby & goddess and father?

The No 2
Judaism developed from Zoroatrism which was polythistic religion to begin with.
The morality of Judaism is from Zoroatrism while the Monothism is from Moses and via him from the Egyptian monothism that was forbiden.
The no 3
I support this becouse the Egyptian God Seth was imported...
Also think there is trace of antique racial biology here and old predjudice.

I agree with the orginal poster. Thats one reason for being a satanist.

My personal thought.
The Nephilim are polytheistic Gods of a religion worshiped before the deluge
