Ok, first of all, this is not about any sort of morals, or about justifications as to why religions are correct/incorrect. If you want to talk about that go do it in a youtube comment section, not here. Secondly we are probably going to stick to polytheistic religions, because they tend to have much more interesting mythology.

So, which religion do you think is the most fun or interesting to study? This includes (and will probably focus on) ancient religions like Greek, Egyptian and Norse mythology, but you could also argue the case of more modern religions like Hinduism (I have no idea how old Hinduism is, by modern I mean that is is relevant today).

I understand that some of these religions have many different sub-cults and inconsistencies, and that working out when one religion turns into another is sometimes quite difficult, so for now I think we will do it by how the layman would categorise the religion (The Sun God Ra and the creator god of craftsmen Ptah are just Egyptian gods. The worshippers of each are not considered separate even though there was beef there over whether Ra was self created).

Hopefully at the end of this we will all have learnt some interesting things about various mythologies.

You don't need to know what you are talking about to participate, we will work out if what we are saying has any truth to it as we go along. We are not all scholars of historical theology, in fact I doubt any of us are. Just be ready wiki search stuff and try not to take this too seriously.

I am going to be arguing the side of Egyptian mythology because Ra is dope and all the gods are gods of an illogical amount of stuff and wear silly hats and turn into different forms (usually involving animal heads) at different times of day. It all seems so pick and mix and I love that. I mean, imagine having a creator god whose name is as fun to say as "Ptah!" and who just happens to be the god of craftsmen and architects as well

I am going to make a stand that Greek/Roman mythology is the least fun their gods were far too personified for god's which do the amount of weird shit as they do. I find it more creepy than interesting. It's ok for a hero to not be the son of the literal king of gods guys, why is Zeus such a little fuckboy? The titans were cool I guess, although I don't remember much about them.

I feel like Norse or Hindu mythology might win me over eventually, because Norse seems slightly less chaotic than Egyptian mythology, and although the gods are personified, they have a lot more gravitas than the campy sex pest Greek gods. Plus, the serpent thing eating its own tail and the world ending when it lets go is awesome. Hinduism looks fun for the same reason as I like the Egyptian god's. There are so many spirits and gods which involve themselves in all aspects of life. Whatever you are doing there is a god on your side somewhere.
