Stupid article is stupid.

Mt Olympus is an actual mountain.

Mt Olympus - the village of the gods - is a myth.

[Skywise]

Pfft - that’s obviously a navel Orange and misinformation! ;)

[Terry L Smith]

The myths surrounding Israel are just myths.

Is it not true, that Christians have walked into lands, other than Israel, and discounted the local beliefs as trash?

So now, in 2021, Iceland is now Asatru. Scandinavia is returning to the Norse religiion. Greece has a resurgence of Hellenismos. There are portions of Eastern Europe returning to the Byzantine Christianity.

Now, as far as my homeland goes, in a 20 year period from Plymouth Rock, and still just a bunch of British fundamentalists, they hung a young girl in their mania about “witchcraft”.

Now, in 2021, Wicca was recognized in the 1976 U.S.Army Chaplains Manual. Spiritualism has been on a slow upswing from the early 1900’s publication of Madame Blavatsky’s thoughts on Theosophy. Then in the 1950’s, Alaister Crowley’s works became well known, followed by Gerald Gardner’s works. Lastly, polls taken in the last 5 years have shown a turning towards spiritualism on thre increase.

So, in the land that has been established and advertised as the land of religious freedom, that freedom has taken off, with a bunch of folks standing there, jack-jawed, muttering: “ We, we didn’t mean THAT!”

Religious freedom for all, or for none?

[Jim W N]

Freedom in general and the free exercise of religion in particular, stops at the actual (not the mythical political pandemic) threat to another’s physical safety.

Holy cow. That makes Yellowstone seem insignificant.
—
The Yellowstone caldera measures 43 by 28 miles (70 by 45 kilometers) WIDE

Mons Olympus over 21.9 km (13.6 mi or 72,000 ft) HIGH

[P.O.E.]

LOL - I loved that cartoon when I was a little kid. “Olympiaaaaa!”

[rfp1234]

The one in WA State is bigger.

[gundog]

Nope. It’s real. There are enormous monsters on Mars, too.

[Tallguy]

Have they ever located the corresponding Mount Ida near Troy? Zeus had several roosts around the Med & Black Seas

[P.O.E.]

Back in the late 70s a local UHF station would air a half-hour of Hercules cartoons, followed by Speed Racer, then the Uncle Floyd show.

Good ol’ days.

[LeoTDB69]

That looks like a fly on green cheese. Sure thats not the moon?

[gundog]

Flies on the moon? You watch too many movies.

[SunkenCiv]

There’s nothing stupid about it.

Then, by your axiom, the Buddhists, Taoists, and Conficianists, are of no threat to anyone, are they, since they neither proselytize nor demand conversion.

[Jim W N]

Buddhists, Taoists, and Conficianists are constitutionally free to practice their religion as long as they don’t threaten violence on others.

That is one reason Islam is not to be tolerated in the United States.

[Jim W N]

That is, organized Islam should not to be tolerated in the United States.

[SunkenCiv]

:^)

[SunkenCiv]

That’s what she said.

[SunkenCiv]

Is it even possible? Yes, it is.
