Did all the ancient people believe that there are real and physical Deities who connect with them?

Question

What I mean is that people of Ancient Greek really believed that there is a man who is called Zeus.

In Greek Myths, there are lots of people who had sex with Gods and gave birth to the children of Gods.

For them Gods were very real and very physical.
They were not symbolic or allegoric.

Do ancient Hindu, Norse, Roman, Egyptian, African, Celt, Native American ... people have the same approach?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Yes, it still continues to this day. God itself is formless. These dieties are just "forms" for God to appear in that best fits with our culture and perception. These dieties can appear to us in visions and dreams. One can have the experience of God w/o form or with form according to their preference. God has unlimited attributes. He can be a Mother, Father, Brother, Guru, Beloved, Sister, Friend or Child to us.

Answer 2

Yes, if you actually study the ancient cultures you'll realize that they all had beliefs in the existence of deities. For example, the ancient Babylonians had numerous gods and goddesses that were portrayed with very human characteristics and flaws. The epic of Gilgamesh, an ancient Babylonian story, expounds on this a bit. Many of the cultures seem to have similarities in the types of gods and their character/personalities.

Answer 3

People used gods to explain the physical phenomenon they observed and could not explain. Whenever anything extraordinary happened, they just chalked it up to an unseen deity. Lightning, rain, droughts... anything like that.

Thankfully we don't believe silly, unprovable, invisible stuff like that anymore...

Answer 4

All this crap about Jesus, has nothing to do with it, I have no idea who he has, but I can not believe that whatever you all are, would possess, influence, try to control others. How many people has it been, I'd rather die than live in a world like this. All I ever did was love. So If I die/get killed, then the world would believe that you would go with me, is that the plan. You think that I believe that for a second. But worst of all, I just wrote an email, that I should be sacraficed, exactly what all of you cowards wanted. That night I spared you all because I loved him. He also wrote the free will book. Whoever you freaks are, have betrayed him, while I protected him. You have sold him out. But more than that all of you have destroyed the love in my heart I had for him. All of you are gradually being banished from this earth, you are losing every power, you are all gradually dissapearing. All of you re slowly becoming a state of nothing. You may have been imune to the bible and laws of my world, but you were never immune to the bible of your own world, which you broke. Not against humanity, but one spirit against the other. By some guiding me, and others you possessed each other, one spirit possessing another. All of you split sides. You first of all chose (free will), then u broke it, by possessing each other, you have sinned against yourselves. So all you 'gods' are fighting amongst yourselves. The torah applies to only humans, (which you are not part of), your bible applies to all your world, which is not earth. Noah only took himself, and 40 animals, it wasn't only in his mind. I declare the old testament, the torah as my book. I acknowledge no other, I acknowledge the God of Abraham, Jacob, and Issac. And the torah, and torah alone. You, all of you were never on that ship, only the human was. You are and never will be part of this earth, you were never here in the first place. You do not exist on this earth, YOU NEVER DID. All of you have violated your own world's teachings, and betrayed your god. I have a vision of that day, it is a holy war, but not on earth, it's in the spiritual world spirits fighting spirits. All of you, betrayed each other, you betrayed your main deity, 'jamie' you betrayed them, remember you said not to associate my name with jesus, david, remember the trail of bobby pins, and who was the one that said wear the star of david, it was the 'angel's who betrayed the 'demons', but by helping me, you betrayed your own, you have forsaken your own god and betrayed him. there is a holy war, and you are fighting among yourselves. there is a reason humans and the whole of you were seperated, and that was because never trust a human, and never thank him. may your world's holy war last an eternity. Humanity was created in the image of my God, your spirit universe was created the way he saw, and if memory serves me right, your god lives, and breathes, the holy war spirit against spirit has begun, your god has abandoned you, because some of you have tried to replace him, and over throw him. Or should I say some of you have tried to overthrow your own god, and for what a human. humans are not holy beings, we're just humans, ps the sun god believes he's the supreme ruler of all deities, wasn't it supposed to be Zeus, what about 'satan', what about jamie, God means one and only, so with so many gods....pick the most powerful, and you still wouldn't be able to impregnate me, none of you, or was that my imagination, was i imagining that night. where's the proof. i was ovulating, jamie did you forsake your gods orders for me, or were you going to overthrow him. you have forsaken your own god. whatever all of you are, whether it's one, or many, or just one with multiplepersonalities. My God does not allow interaction with your kind. May your holy war be everything you have invisioned the fight of the spirit world against each other, the holy against the holy. And thank you MY GOD for making me only human.
