    If you think your god is real, why can't they believe their god is real. None of you can't even prove he's real anyways so let them worship Zeus and his buddies.

      @ReadThis_ 10 років тому +32

      Yep. Greece has cut the roots (except for those people) from the old religion. Islam had nothing to do with Greece after the Turks got kicked out of the peninsula and they were more or less eradicated during the Greek revolution in the 1820's. Islam is now recognized because of a small Islamic minority that still lives close to the border with Turkey and that stayed in Greece due to a convention (after its last expansion and dispute with the Turkish). Finally, these days there are lots of muslin immigrants in Greece.

      *"Setting aside the cases where the ethnic names employed are of doubtful application, it cannot reasonably be questioned that the author [of Genesis 10] has in his account of the sons of Japheth classed together the Cymry or Celts (Gomer), the Medes (Madai), and the Ionians or Greeks (Javan), thereby anticipating what has become known in modern times as the `Indo-European Theory,' or the essential unity of the Aryan (Asiatic) race with the principal races of Europe, indicated by the Celts and the Ionians. Nor can it be doubted that he has thrown together under the one head of 'children of Shem' the Assyrians (Asshur), the Syrians (Aram), the Hebrews (Eber), and the Joktanian Arabs (Joktan), four of the principal races which modern ethnology recognizes under the heading of `Semitic.' Again, under the heading of `sons of Ham,' the author has arranged `Cush', i.e., the Ethiopians; `Mizraim,' the people of Egypt; `Sheba and Dedan,' or certain of the Southern Arabs; and `Nimrod,' or the ancient people of Babylon, four races between which the latest linguistic researches have established a close affinity" (Rawlinson's Hist.

      From Wikipedia.
      "As Christianity spread across the Roman world, it carried the idea that all people were descended from Noah. But the tradition of Hellenistic Jewish identifications of the ancestry of various peoples, which concentrates very much on the East Mediterranean and the Near East (described below), became stretched and its historicity questioned. Not all Near Eastern people were covered, and northern peoples important to the Late Roman and medieval world, such as the Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, and Nordic peoples were not covered, nor were others of the world's peoples, such as sub-Saharan Africans, Native Americans, and peoples of Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Far East, and Australasia. A variety of arrangements were devised by scholars in order to make the table fit, with for example the Scythians, who do feature in the tradition, being claimed as the ancestors of much of northern Europe."
      The Bible has nothing to do with Indo-Europeans inherently. Traditional Greek gods are descendants of Proto Indo-European gods and religion.
      The Bible may get the recordings of some Caucasoid peoples right, but no, it does not get all of them, and it by no means anticipated the Indo-European theory. And I've never seen anyone equate "Asiatic" with "Aryan".

    Even though I am an atheist, and very much an anti-theist this brought a tear to my eye. I’ve always been extremely fascinated by Hellenism/Olympianism. The Gods and culture of Ancient Greece are so unbelievably interesting and intricate. The ceremony was beautiful; the chanting, the white dresses and the offerings. I’ve been studying the societies of Ancient Sparta & Athens and have been loving every bit of it.
    I think this documentary mainly should’ve been focusing on their practices and beliefs rather than the politics about it. I also found the reporter to be quite disrespectful, especially towards the end.

      I am neither white, nor Pagan, and quite far from a racist.
      as for past being better because it's pagan , it isn't exactly the thing, it's more like past being better, because, they wouldn't be mistreated for following the religion of their own ancestors in their own ancestral land by their own people just like Zoroastrians of Iran.
      How is Paganism racist? I don't get it really, Are Japanese racist for following Shinto? Are Indians racist for being Hindu? Are Chinese racist for following Taoism?
      And if someone did think past was better because it was pagan ,really, doesn't make it a thinking unique to pagans as plenty of evangelicals think the same of Christianity and the present and they are also well known for being truly racist.

And there was the option "Other" with an empty line. I circled "Other" and wrote "Greek Pantheon" in the empty line. That was in 2003. I am so happy to see that this now really exists.

Clearly, Christians would be denied just like the Pagans as they're being precluded from worshipping at the Parthenon has nothing to do with religion but rather the State interest in preserving the Acropolis in as pristine condition as possible. Undeniably, a group of people worshipping inside the Parthenon is not conducive to this State interest. Please keep in mind that these Pagans are in no way being obstructed from practicing their religion. It's merely a matter of it being unreasonable to practice a religion at a delicate archeological site which main importance is the preservation of the Parthenon for as long as possible and people worshipping inside the Parthenon is blatantly opposite to that important State interest, not only for the general welfare of Greece but that of the entire world.

      The same thing happened for our Hindu religion around 8th century A.D.There was a time when there was a complete chaos in the society and Hindu religion was almost nearer to getting vanished.Nihilism was at peaks and there was no one who could stop them.Rituals like yagnas were stopped.Hinduism was in complete danger which was surrounded by 72 anti vedic religions ,Buddhism and jainism popular among them.Then,as said above,whenever there is decline of dharma Lord himself comes for establishment of dharma.So,,came the greatest philosopher, scholar,logician who is incarnation of Lord Shiva himself "ADI SHANKARACHARYA".Now Pray To God To protect Sanathan Dharma

It’s very important for us and it has been the major religion for almost 2000 years. What you see here is neo pagans, that are doing some kind of restored dodecatheism.

      Samuel Jackson Because those sacred sights are ancient and fragile. I understand that everyone wants to worship at places special to their faiths but if your worshipping might damage those places it won’t be worth it. They should just build their own temples, it would be a better symbolic decision anyways since it would show they’re not just focused on the past but are looking to the future as well.

The only issue is that they are not allowed to turn the Parthenon into a place of worship because it's a protected archaeological site not suited for religious rituals. Neither the Pagans or any other religion is allowed to worship in a historical site. You people are turning this subject into something that it most definitely is not. Are people just stupid or do they just want to believe what fits their agenda for criticism?

I live in a country that locate in the border of pacific ocean, very far away from greek.I'm from Myanmar(Burma).I found that in our tradition, there is some gods called Dewata(Sky gods) who stories are very similar to greek mythology. I think that they are the same gods but different names.

      Your ancestors were Hindus. The word "Devatas" is a Sanskrit Word.
      Hindu Gods and Greek Gods have many similarities because of them both being Polytheistic.
