@IwategaUnr But why would they attribute some negative human tendencies like jealousy to a god? Aren't god's supposed to be like and ideal to strive towards? Maybe an attempt to make them more humble? #ch1003 #a3n31d

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

I find it interesting that the Roman god's are practically the same as the Greek gods just renamed. While there are some differences the similarities are uncanny. #a3n31d #ch1003

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

@kristianmaldo That's kinda how the gods are, they are constantly going back and forth. Venus and Juno are rivals, partially because Paris of troy said that Venus was more beautiful than Juno, and thus Juno hates Venus and troy. #ch1003 #a3n31d

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

Why is it that there is always a god or goddess that gets their "feelings" hurt and then wants to take revenge? Like when Paris said that Venus was more beautiful than Juno. #ch1003 #a3n31d

@mari_toumaian That's what I was kinda thinking, I wonder if they were fighting on the summer soltace, and because of the extra daylight maybe attributed that to their prayers and God almighty power. #ch1003 #hebbib

@Lbiondo_4 It makes since that he wants to ilustrate his power, but that idea leads me to another question what is his end game? Does he was to be a feared God or liked? #ch1003 #HebBib

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

I find it interesting that God decides to follow an order from Joshua to stop the movement of the sun. Why would this be helpful? I think it might have something to do with the having more daylight, or maybe just cause he could. #HebBib #ch1003

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

Why does God keep "hardening" the pharaoh, when Moses is trying to get the Israelites free? It's like God doesn't want the pharaoh to accept it until Egypt has suffered enough. #HebBib #ch1003

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

Do we know how the golden calf came to be worshipped? Like did someone just say let's make a calf out of gold and make it our god? #hebbib #ch1003

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

@jessica983012 I think this highlights the mistrust that God has with them. The idea that the Jews needed to be guided kinda symbolizes why they needed God in order to survive. #hebbib #ch1003

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

@Fariha_Raisa_ I think in this case Odysseus and his men could be viewed as Invaders on the island and Polyphemus was acting the way a cyclops would act Posiedon's viewpoint would probably have been the same this guy came to my son's home and injured him. #ch1003 #h0m3r

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

Reading the similarities between the flood in Gilgamesh and the book of Genesis makes me believe that there was some sort of major event that the cause of which was credited to different god's anger. #ch1003 #HebBib

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

@BradenCharles3 Can there truly be darkness without light? The idea of lightness necessitates the need of darkness. #ch1003 #HebBib

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

@IwategaUnr Water is a very powerful force to be reckoned with. Even though it would be a terrible way to go. It has the power to change and entire landscape. To me that's pretty godly. #ch1003 #HebBib

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

So is Odysseus being punished only by Poseidon for blinding Polyphemus? #ch1003 #h0m3r

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

So Odysseus's almost got back to Ithica by using the bag of winds Aeolus gave them. But because of a crew member's mistrust and jealousy causing them to get screwed and land at Circe. This entire journey is just a series of unfortunate events!! #ch1003 #h0m3r

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

I can imagine the gods playing a game of chess with the humans during the battle of troy. Like everyone has their favorite human and when another god "cheats" they go crying to zues. #h0m3r #ch1003

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

What is with everyone sacrificing bulls? They did in Gilgamesh and the Iliad, is there something specific about the bull that the gods find favorable? #ch1003 #h0m3r

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

How did the greeks come up these things like the Chimaera it's already a lion, snake, and a goat but it has to breathe 🔥 as well?!?! Like come on! #ch1003 #h0m3r

[Stephon Eaton @StephonEaton_]

@BradenCharles3 He ends up getting sick and dieing, however; Gilgamesh had a dream about the gods punishing one of them for killing Humbaba and the bull of heaven. So ya, Enkidu died because of Gilgamesh's decisions. #ch1003 #glgmsh
