Greek myths are fucking great because their gods are so human. They argue, they fuck up at things, they make fun of each other, they piss each other off, it’s great, there’s so much human interaction and then Christianity comes in like that guy and is all like “oh my god is infallible and knows everything and immortal and everywhere at once and you can’t see it but its totally there and stronger than everything” shut the fuck up Christianity go take a writing class
did you just call the Christian god a Mary Sue
Hi my name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth and I have long mahogany brown hair with blonde streaks and white tips that reaches my mid-back and firy brown eyes like god’s judgment and a lot of people tell me I look like Job (AN: if u don’t know who he is then god be with you!). I’m not related to Lot but I wish I was because he’s a paragon of saintly virtue. I’m a demigod but my body is mortal. I have dark brown skin. I’m also a miracle worker, and I work miracles in the Euphrates region. I’m a Jew (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly hot weather clothing. I love Forever21 and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black yarmulka with matching lace around it and a black leather tallit , pink robes and black sandals. I was wearing the makeup of my father’s love for his people. I was walking outside Judea. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of Romans stared at me. I wished them a long and prosperous life.
Yeah, because having “flawed” deities who are vapid, petty and horny and have been known to commit rape (fun fact: Medusa was actually a beautiful woman, but Poseidon raped her in Athena’s temple and of course Athena got pissed but since Poseidon was more powerful than she was she took it out on Medusa by making her a monster) is so much better than having a perfect deity.
>go take a writing class.
This is religion, not writing. Certainly the dynamics would be different, and having conflict is something you want to avoid if it’s a matter of belief, particularly conflict within the very beings you rely on and call upon for help.
And besides, Jesus was born into poverty, hung out with societal rejects, and pissed off a lot of self-righteous assholes so much they literally picked a thief/rapist/murderer to get off scot free just to put him to death.
But you know, Greek gods are so much better. Gotcha.
Welcome to Tumblr, where people will literally talk about how great a bunch of superpowered rapists, murderers, and all around sadistic assholes are if they can get in a dig at Christianity by doing so.
