Don't you think people who say Quetzalcoatl doesn't exist are making a rather bold and unsupportable accusation?
Doesn't it take an incredible amount of faith to say such a thing?
Since we can't disprove the existence of Quetzalcoatl, isn't the proper position to say "I don't know. Maybe Quetzalcoatl exists, maybe not. Either way, we can't be sure and so it isn't proper to say he doesn't exist."
But you CAN be sure he exists! Just invite Quetzalcoatl into your heart, and offer him a sacrifice, and then you can know he's real. If you believe and he's not real, you lose nothing. If you don't, and he is real, he's not going to be very happy. Do you really want to anger him?

sorry tk, the earliest evidence of Quetzalcoatl dates to at least 1500 BC

I just did and I have been blessed. I have seen his feathery goodness.
Now how do I get the blood stains out of the carpet? And what do I do with the body?
Ya know, I always thought hearts were bigger then they really are.
Now excuse me while I go build a pyramid in my backyard.

By the way. Great point. I would say it takes some faith but not a great deal.

Quetzalcoatl is represented as the plumed serpent in Aztec, Maya and Inca lore, however he goes by different names in differnt cultures suggested that the legend is indeed old and all comes from the same event.
He arrived, on a boat with no oars, wearing sandals, had a bead et cetera. He stopped cannabilism among the tribes and preached a religion of peace. He told that he would return to punish them or reward them. When the Spanish came the Aztec and Inca thought it was the second coming and that made it possible for the Spanish to conqure them. Otherwise, they would have had no chance. The estimated date for this coming was around 1 AD.

Anyone gullible enough to believe in Allah, the Christian god or Buddha has NO business claiming ANY other god doesn't exist. It would be an act of supreme hypocrisy to think that only THEIR god existed.

Yo JT the quote you're thinking of is by Stephen Roberts
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."

Well, just to be fair, I am not aware of all of the permutations of the alphabet, let alone their being a name for something that may or may not exist, but I think it's funny when license plates spell something unitentionally.

Good point. Queztalcoatl has a special place in my (cut out and profusely bleeding) heart :)

Thumpers cannot seem to comprehend that they are rejecting thousands of other Gods.
As someone once said, an atheist is a Christian (Jew, Muslim) with one less God.

He is very real. Good luck to those who don't choose to believe.
