Coolest religion of the Ancient World?

Question

Which do you think is coolest?

Answer 1

The Norse pantheon, worshiped by the Asyr (commonly refered to as the Vikings) was pretty great. The mythology has a sense of humor. Also, people could choose to worship or not worship the gods, it depended on what you wanted from them; there was no punishment for not believing, like in present day religions.

Answer 2

Greek Mythology, Roman Mythology have been all valid religions then and now. Christianity is a mythology. creation of one woman and one guy that led to 7 billion persons later is the extra beneficial MYTHOLOGY OF ALL. Biologically, it is not attainable to reproduce this a lot of people, plenty much less quite distinctive individuals and characteristic an incestuous breeding that effects genetic defects which could not combat off infections, environmental evolutionary variations. No sir, the international replaced into as quickly as now not created in 7 days. Blacks, whites, Asians did not come from one lady and one guy, homosexuality heavily isn't a sin, women folk do not could obey their husbands, the international isn't FLAT, the sunlight DOES now not REVOLVE around the earth. in simple terms about all those are Christian mythologies Evolution is genuine undisputable bedrock of technological know-how. it is not a concept. that's a actuality. All faith is synthetic organic and straightforward

Answer 3

I think Shinto is the coolest. It is in essence the worship of nature and is a very happy religion, used for weddings and birthdays. If you watch Japanese fishing channels they bow to the fish after releasing it, and this practices comes from Shinto.

Answer 4

Judeism, those Isrealites kicked the crap out of dozens of tribes and natons much larger than themselves, thaey had that ark of the covenant, and god laid waste there enemies. Moses went toe to toe with Pharoehs magicians, and out did there parlor tricks with some real fire and brim stone action from the ONe true god above, then they wher handed all the wealth of the great egyptian nation, and had there entire army drowned in the red sea. thats the people I would have hung out with the Isrealites of BC, they didn't dabble in hocus pocus, and chanting and bizzare hman sacrifices and such, they spent much of there time misbehaving and not doing as they where told, much like myself, but God loved them , and there sure is alot of great stories and characters to read about, with ideas that are still very alive today, not some googly **** of fancy words that are nothing but fluff, or Idol worshipping, thinkinga man mad object somehow has god like powers, thats pretty imbecillic, much like Mytholgy, a bunch of jealose Zgods who fight each other like in a soap opera, no thanks, I'll take the great "I AM" the One true god, the LOrd of Lords , ancient or MOdern.

Answer 5

Dīn-i Ilāhī (Arabic: دين إلهي ) "Divine Faith" founded by Mughal King Akbar is the coolest religion. He was called Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar (Persian: جلال الدین محمد اکبر Jalāl ud-Dīn Moḥammad Akbar), also known as Akbar the Great (Akbar-e-Azam). His grandson built TAJMahal.

Born to Hamida Bano(Shia mother) and Muslim King Nasiruddin Humayun in Umarkot, Sind(India). He faced religious unrest among his people of the kingdom. Dīn-i Ilāhī as propounded by Akbar combined mysticism, philosophy and nature worship. It also recognized no gods or prophets. It combined Hinduism, Islam with parts of Jainism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism.

I think it is one of the most wonderful ideas done by a king. As a king he did something great to unite people. He was wholeheartedly dedicated in removing religious disunity among his subjects, with Dīn-i Ilāhī.

For a ruler during the time of plunderers and conquerors, Akbar's rule was the Golden rule of Mughal Empire in India. His Divine Faith, is the most impressive one by my standards. Where he was proactively approaching the disunity among people in his Large empire.

Let there be unity and peace.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Buddism

Answer 8

Zoroastrianism. Apart from the cool name they have worship of a sacred flame and the dead being eaten by vultures. Many of the ideas turn up in Christianity, as well.

Answer 9

Zoroastrianism...

No they don't worship the flame (like someone mentioned)... n of course they don't worship dead ppl?! EW!

They are monotheists... n worship Ahura Mazda (God)... their Prophet is Zoroaster... n their book is Avesta...

And their most popular msg (that almost everyone knows) is... Good words... Good thoughts... Good deeds... (or is this from the Achaemenian dynasty?... anyways... Achaemenians were Zoroastrians as well... :D)
