    The funniest thing is not only did they not follow Christianity, but they also routinely killed followers of the Abrahamic faiths that were precursors to it

      Golly, they sacrificed the followers of a Canaanite war god who have a habit of becoming oppresors and tyranta every time their faith becomes the dominant one in a culture?

    Considering the period of “classical” Greece is mostly considered as having ended around 323 BC with the death of Alexander and hellenistic Greece ending around 145 BC with the roman conquest, I’d be REALLY suprised if they were christian.

      Oh, and I nearly forgot this is about a game:

      The game’s plot tells a mythological history of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta from 431 to 422 BCE.

      Really?? From memory that Leviticus (or exodus?) Quote specifically said woman, are you referring to an earlier translation?

          No. Considering anyone who tries to use that verse to condemn gayness will then go and wear fabrics of different cloth, you don’t need an excuse at all

          I don’t think you need an excuse when it’s a low stakes matter where you acknowledged your mistake and corrected yourself

      It’s a choice. We have the internet and unlimited knowledge. If people are still stupid, it’s because they choose to be.

        I’ve been in situations where, when trying to find the answer to a question no one knows the answer to, I’ll suggest we look it up, only to be met with something like “or we could just have a conversation like people”.

        There’s quite a bit of tech aversion going around.

        Could go into a philosophical debate about the illusion of free choice here. But long answer short, brainwashing and social conditioning are very, very hard to break. Religious trauma wouldn’t be an entire specialty of cognitive behavioral therapy if it were like swapping to skim milk.

    Oh yeah? Well then how come Ancient Greek philosophers are depicted as saints throughout St Peter’s basilica? Checksum Atheists.

      Yes, from what I’ve seen most Hellenic Polytheists identify as Pagan
