look at USA: Why do you have a senate? Why do you name a city Cincennati (Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus) ? Is it cultural appropriation? Or are you really the true heirs of Rome?

Btw is there a Greek god of death? Is there a Greek equivalent to the god of death who rules over death? What are the thoughts on death in the Greek religion?

This is very fascinating stuff... I think the gods will reward you for contributing to the revival of their worship... I don't think the gods want to be forgotten and abandoned. It is such a good sign that the old gods are returning.

Read Plotinos
Incredible... I was actually looking for Plotinus the last time I was in a bookstore. I didn't know that Plotinus discussed death. I'll have to order the Enneads.

I want to see this happen all over the world... I want to see the revival of the Yoruba gods, the Aztec gods, all the ancient pantheons... and I think that's what we're heading towards

I don't think the 'old gods" want to be forgotten or abandoned either ;-) As I read things, I suspect some might see them again one of these days...

Every nation has his own Gods.
You can not be Greek and worship the gods of the Indians or of the Japanese, or of the Germans or the English.
Which nation do you belong to?

In every case, the Ancient Greek religion prevails and Christianity does not.
In fact, Greek religion reveals itself so predominantly that it should give the reader pause to consider the power of Christian propaganda to deceive and disguise these obvious facts for so long.

Christianity was used as a pretext for genocide and the destruction of cultures and civilizations

I have a vested interest in the revival of the Aztec gods ;)



(Santa Muerte, also corresponding with Mictecacihuatl or Thanatos in the Greek pantheon)

then there's others such as Tezcatlipoca, Tonantzin, Quetzalcoatl

I think Tezcatlipoca would roughly correspond with Zeus or Allah

Virgin of Guadalupe, corresponding with Tonantzin
