why not? do you believe that God is not mythological? I believe that most myths are truth. everyone has a right to post their opinions here.

This is a very catch 22 situation isn't it !!... I just don't know how you are going to implement that... I think they should have their own section and then they can all sit there discussing their God and cutting and pasting scripture all day long to their hearts content..That would make them all feel good wouldn't it, as everyone would agree with each other.. When you really define it.. Religion should be a separate section to Spirituality... If it was, I would have no real cause to enter the Religion section as I would know the types of people who would be in there... Once again catch 22, they would argue that they were intitled to be in the Spiritual section, even though most of us would disagree, they still have the illusion that they are Spiritual... I would support anything that seperates us.... Love and Light.. BB )O( .... BTW--Woden was the God of the sky, and was compared with Zeus... That is unless my information is wrong, but I doubt it..

Mythology is a term which could be utilized to all sorts of religion consisting of no longer in basic terms Greek and Roman Mythology, yet Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hindi, Buddhism, community American Religions, Wicca, and countless others. apart from possibly Atheism. as quickly as I took a type in college which in comparison the thoughts of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam the class replaced into referred to as Comparative Mythology. it rather is a definition of mythology: The be conscious mythology (from Greek ?????????[a million]) refers to a physique of folklore/myths/legends that a particular custom believes to be real and that use the supernatural to interpret organic activities and to describe the character of the universe and humanity. Mythology additionally refers back to the dep. of understanding coping with the sequence, study and interpretation of myths, additionally familiar as mythography. So i could say, apart from Atheists, Mythology and folklore are built-in into everyones' on a daily basis existence and are not separate.

Egads, I have been hanging out over here the last couple days just to have a break from all the backbiting that goes on over there, and now you want to send them over here? Gee, thanks! There are some very nice Christians over there, as well as the not so nice ones, and that applies to everyone else over there too, people are people @ssholes are @ssholes, I don't think that is an exclusively Christian thing, and there is plenty of baiting going on, on all sides. Before I came here I had no idea there was such a thing as Fundie Yoga! Some folks just can't have an objective sharing of spiritual ideas regardless of what path they are walking. However the God of Abraham is just as mythological, or not, as Odin and Zeus are. Besides, some of them are already over here to tell everyone we're going to He11 anyway, and looking for posts about Pagan, Wiccan, or Spells just to tell us all so.... Just take a break from em once in awhile, if you want to segregate them over here, or anywhere else over what you see as a lack of tolerance on thier part, what does that have to say about you? Besides, even if we did get them thier own section, that would not stop them from coming in to "our" section to tell us all we're going to He11 and post scripture any way. Regardless of what I might personally think of them, I think it takes all kinds to make a world, putting up with crazy stuff like that can only help to clarify and strengthen my own beliefs, and give me a good example of a bad example of what I don't want to be when I grow up. When properly studied and applied, "religion" and "spirituality" overlap, and I would be uncomfortable with trying to part the two.... If you would like to gain appreciation for the R&S section, go hang out in Politics for awhile!
For the rest of us to censor those who call themselves Christian, would make us no better than Christians who want to censor the rest of us, and some Christians apply thier faith with thought and understanding, and I would hate to miss out on thier thoughts. There are many spiritual ideas circulating over here as well, so if you get tired of R&S, hang over here awhile, no big whoop.

One could argue that Odin and Zeus are different names for God

Yahoo Answers should start a Christian Forum away form anything that has the word social--because social they aren't.

And don't tell that to Odin.
Since he is a god of war, he will convert you in to a wreck.

hmmmm ...
stopping people from talking to others who might hold different points of view or ideas or talking to different people in general...
isn't that prejudiced or "cult-like"?
keeping them from gaining new information.
sounds like fear issues to me ...
you might want to look at these issues
and ...
no, let them stay here!
hope this helps
