my favorite thing about the contrast between early christianity and ancient greek and roman religion is that the difference in the ways they think and talk about their gods is really similar to the difference between how dog and cat owners talk about their pets
early christians: this is our god he’s omnipotent and omniscient and he is better than all of the other gods
greeks: this is our party god dionysus he got into an argument with a bunch of frogs once and we love himWait which one is the cat person
Pagans are cat people. We know our cats/gods are stupid assholes but we love/worship them anyway.
