    I’ll be honest, my favorite take on the Judeo Christian God is YHWH from the Shin Megami Tensei series. He is straight up God. An egotistical self-centered self-righteous law-and-order asshole That is his infinite hubris, Made his name literally unpronounceable. The only thing he cares about is having people follow his laws to the letter and to praise no God other than himself. This is in fact a plot point because gods are demoted into demons (and become killable) when they have no prayer.

    The Old Testament has instances where there are other gods, who are real to the people who worship them, and that YHWH just happens to be the most overpowered of them all. Like the part where Aaron threw down Moses' staff and turned it into a snake, the pharaoh's magicians also did it too, but created weaker serpents, that were all defeated by YHWH's power. The other gods in the old testament were made to be super weak.

      Yes but they were demons this is a theological concept that is not well known to non Christians and even some liberal Christians but according to Christianity all gods that that various cultures have worshiped through history were real spiritual beings but they were demons. More specifically they were angels that were supposed to mediat between God and those cultures but they sided with Satan thus becoming demons.

      @omaralyafai2368 2 года назад +7

      @@gavindavis9636 this is a Christian view, correct. Paul did state that all gods besides yahweh we're actually demons but the old testament was more monolotrous ie acknowledged other gods but yahweh was the god of the Israelites. Gods being demons came much later after the old testament.
      Archaeologically, the ancient Israelites we're polytheists who worshipped El, yahweh and baal with El being the chief god and the father of Yahweh and baal. The scholarly debate is how late and to what extent were the Israelites polytheists. Most say during the monarchic period in the days of David and solomon

    The thing with God in Christianity is that he's kind a mess that's always in conflict with himself. He sabotages himself, does one thing, then swings in the opposite direct. You could make Christianity cooler by just diving deeper into that aspect of his character. There's like a Sheogorath/Jygalag story somewhere in there.

    Along with Vaush's blackpill that Norse Mythology isn't uniquely cool, its the mythologies of the Abrahamic religions which are extremely boring, here's another: if Norse mythology is so cool while we only have our limited understanding of it from the surviving sources, imagine how many cool stories have been lost to time because Christians came through and almost completely destroyed these unique parts of cultures across Europe (and later in the Americas too). Like how many stories, how much unique culture and such from the Slavic, Greek, Celtic, Norse, etc mythologies has been lost because Christians were incapable of accepting that other people didn't believe in their shitty set of stories?

  • @dragonicdoom3772
    @dragonicdoom3772 2 года назад +27

    I honestly think one of the most damning arguments against the existence of God is just how badly he translates from a story to real life. In a story, it makes sense that an all powerful creator would allow evil to exist, because without evil there wouldn't be any conflict, and without conflict it would be a pretty shit story, especially if the intent is to teach people the moral values of the community. But take that same creator and put them in reality, and suddenly they seem like a tyrant who knows they can stop all the evils in the world but chooses not too for their own sick pleasure. (Sidenote, its pretty telling when one of God's titles is the Lord of Hosts. Hosts means the angelic armies of heaven, he's the LORD OF ARMIES)
    The same thing is true for Satan: its easier to talk about the concept of evil by giving it a face and name and say "Oh you know that horrible thing you did, that was this guy tempting you. But don't listen to him or you'll go to hell". But in real life, Satan becomes either sympathetic or just hard to understand. He could be sympathised with as someone rebelling against an oppressive tyrant or as a creature damned to be the personification of evil, since if everything is God's creation that includes Satan so Satan has no choice but to be evil. The unsympathetic angle is that he has the free will to be good but chooses evil to rebel against God, otherwise why does he care if mankind commits evil? I guess more people go to hell and he gets enjoyment from us doing evil and then being punished for it, but even that seems like a pretty weak reason.
    My point is that these things work in a story where a lot of them are just metaphors and allegories for abstract concepts, but trying to say they're real entities suddenly makes things a whole lot harder to justify.

      The real life changing of certain points in the book and how they come to our modern understanding is very intriguing. That's because people are intriguing.

Also in Daniel 10, Gabriel was held back in a fight with "The Prince of Persia" (understood to mean Satan) for 21 days, before Michael the Arch Angel (Depending on Theology is understood to mean Jesus) helped him.
    Also let's not forget about all of the psychedelic visions involving "The Dragon" (understood to be Satan by many Christians), and other monster in both Revelation and Daniel. I think the Bible has some really great stories, that if shown in all its violence and gore would be awesome. It's just that Christians keep putting limits on film writers who try to make movies about these stories.

    Vaush should check out The Salvation War, basically a Biblical military fanfic where God gives up on humanity, unleashes Hell on Earth… and after a few days of shock, humanity rallies and its combined military and technological might fucking curbstomps the demonic armies. Then they invade Hell. THEN, in the sequel, they turn their vengeful eyes on HEAVEN.

    If Ragnarok comes we're all fucked. The planet sized serpent is just the half of it, we also have to deal with Fenrir, who is said to be so large that his lower jaw scrapes the earth while his upper jaw reaches the heavens. Then there's his two sons, Skoll and Hati, who will devour the sun and moon. There's Surtr, who will engulf the world in flame using his sword (keep in mind that Surtr comes from Muspelheim, the realm of fire where all heat in the universe, including the stars and the sun, comes from). Before Ragnarok even starts we've gotta survive Fimblwinter, basically a 3 year long global winter.

    Islam is about submission to God.
    Judaism is about getting into a ton of arguments and playing lawyer with God. What the Abrahamic faiths lack in action between powerful yet fallible beings, Judaism makes up for with battles of wits against an omnipotent being.
    Also there's some whacky shit in Kabbalah about how God is actually limited by the existence of his own creation and humans have some power to affect that which is well above my understanding of Judaism.

    That's why the Old Testament is such a more interesting read than the New Testament. The early Jews weren't monotheistic, they were henotheistic, The other gods the Israelites encountered were real entities that Adonai had to show dominance over. Adonai is also not explicitly stated to be Omnipotent. His plans are routinely interrupted by the activities of man. He sends the angel of death to destroy the Israelites and then that angel gets btfo'd by Aaron of all people. Adonai is merely the most powerful being on the planet, making deals with a people He became fond of and working to give them a land of their own while establishing his supremacy over all of the other Gods his creation worships.

      From a story point of view- yes the OT has more story’s and more crazy stories at that! But the OT clearly states that THE LORD is the creator God and and is all powerful, MANY verses to back this up- he isn’t just veiwed as a powerful God, BUT THE powerful God. But yes they definitely believed in other entities and gods that were out there. The Bible says that those gods were apart of the fallen angels from heaven. Even the New Testament acknowledges this- Paul when talking about the pagan gods says “the so called gods (meaning in a mocking tone that the gods these people worship have no power) he then goes one to say “indeed there are many gods and lords” meaning he acknowledges that there are many beings out there with power and influence in this world, they aren’t gods in the sense that they made the universe but they have influence. If you are interested in this I recommend Michael Heisers UNSEEN REALM- and the Bible projects podcast on GOD and ancient cosmology- also their video on spiritual beings.

    I’ve been writing my own retelling of the Bible where God is incredibly powerful, but not nearly as powerful as he tells everyone, and Lucifer, who is almost his equal, VERY NEARLY beat him in his uprising at the end of a very extensive battle before getting beaten and stuck with the job of processing sinful souls in Hell so they can be purified and move on to Heaven.
    The angels, incidentally, can shift between humanoid forms (which are usually very bishie because I am a degenerate) and divine forms (which look like Bayonetta-esque eldritch beings covered in eyes and wings and tentacles). A lot of characters will get more depth like the Archangels, Lilith is gonna be there ‘cause she’s awesome, Behemoth, Leviathan, and Ziz are gonna exist as minor gods of the land, sea, and sky, the EGYPTIAN gods (who are in fact acknowledged in the Bible) are gonna show up and potentially get pwned by YHWH during Exodus- like, how much cooler would Exodus be if it were set amidst a battle between God and the Egyptian gods? Moses calls upon God to send the plagues, meanwhile the Egyptian priests are calling upon their gods to defend themselves, and on the celestial plane, angels and monsters are shredding each other, Michael is duking it out with Horus; it’s gonna be wild.
    The details are too long to list in one comment, though, especially when we start getting into how the cosmic forces of Chaos and Order work, along with the worlds of Heaven and Hell, and how nonbelievers who are still generally good people can become citizens of Pandemonium in Hell and join Lucifer’s demon army for the rebellion… But I’m drawing a lot from fanfics like Paradise Lost, weird apocryphal works, and a lot of stuff I just made up myself (as Christians have been doing since the dawn of Christianity).
    Yeah, we’re gonna start our own Christian sect, and we’ll be the ones with the _cool_ Bible. And we’ll actually unilaterally make good on the whole “caring for the poor and marginalized” thing. >.>
