Greek Gods
Posted on by Anonymous
Have you had any experiences with them? If so what happened?
Many, many experiences. I worship them daily, and have received so many great benefits to my life. I have even received great, undeniable signs from them, answers to prayers. And I don't mean "saw a bird" or "felt a tingle", I mean huge events that converted my atheist friends on the spot.
I'm celebrating the Dionysia next weekend actually; we're all going to consecrate some meat and wine, burn some offerings, and take holy communion from the flesh and blood of the God. Oh, and I will be anointing and consecrating our libation cups, so that they can continue their worship at home.

I mean, if any religion had a super repeatable way to do that, wouldn't everyone follow it? If you'd like to at least try, begin by learning as much as you can about them, reading texts written by their followers; Hesiod, Homer, Orpheus, Herodotus, Virgil, etc. I worshipped and studied very strictly for months, just to discover how they were to be worshipped, before even asking for a sign, but I got it. Your milage may vary.
I will say this though; at a certain level, without even any supernatural happenings, religious worship is about faith, not proof. And at that level, you can really "believe" anything you want, and can choose what you believe, so that it may benefit your life. Even if I never received a sign, my life would have been better for honoring the Gods than if I had remained an atheist.
My suggestion would be to worship a little, lightly. Call it a superstition, but keep doing it. Not to try and get anything in return, but simply because they are Gods, and we are mortal men. See how you feel, see how your life goes. Maybe it improves? Maybe you begin to believe? You would fall into the great college of believers that included Plato, Caesar, Alexander, and many, MANY secret devotees throughout history up until this very day.
Yea bro write a letter and burn it im sure it'll do something you consider magical wow holy shit it's almost like not everything has been solved woah wow so amazing Im gonna become a scientist and figure out how to find da truth bro oh no more school wow looks like the truth is actually kinda hard wow
literally everyone does every day. they're personifications of natural psychology. so much so, that when writing was introduced to the greeks, they created a lesser pantheon that we now call "philosophers".
>palace in Vienna has giant statues of Hercules and a bridge/square with multiple Athena statues >New York is covered in statues of Mercury, Athena, minor goddesses >palace of Versailles is all God themed >all of Italy too >st Peter’s cathedral even has multiple statues of obvious Greek gods
So it’s clear the elite families never stopped worshipping the Gods, right? How to join Athenian priesthood bros??
>captcha: 4MPPAV
There are 4 million worshippers of the true Gods at any given time??

I'm still trying to figure out which religion is true, can you suggest anything I could do to prove to myself that they're real?
X2 how did you start?
