All Other Gods Are Ridiculous... Except Bible GOD!

By Webmdave ~

Iwas once a special kind of True Christian™ believer — bold, confident — who thought ancient religions were laughable nonsense. Hindu gods? Absurd! Norse mythology? A joke! Indigenous cosmologies? Childish fairy tales! And yet... my entire True Christian™ worldview was built on a book where a snake talks, a woman is cloned from a man's rib (Adam and Steve?), and a cosmic being sends itself to Earth to be tortured to death... by humans... to appease itself.

Even so, is there any doubt that other religions really are just mythology?

Let’s break this down.

It’s silly that Egyptian gods have animal heads? But according to True Christians™, it's perfectly sane that God turned two cities into smoldering craters because he didn’t like the residents' bedroom habits. Reincarnation is nonsense, but thinking an invisible war between angels and demons is happening right now, all around us in a war that somehow affects United States presidential elections is rational and reasonable!

The idea of people believing in volcano spirits is laughable, while kneeling before a crucified man-god hybrid who told people to eat his flesh and drink his blood is to be taken very seriously. Meanwhile, the guy meditating under a tree or lighting incense at a shrine is judged to be off his rocker.

And when someone brings up Zeus or Odin or any pantheon with the slightest sense of metaphor, True Christians™ respond with a disapproving frown or a smug chuckle, followed up later with a deep dive into the logistics of Noah’s Ark — how Noah somehow fit two of every living thing (don’t think too hard about the carnivores), shoveled mountains of poop for months, and then repopulated the Earth through a gene pool that wouldn’t pass a junior high biology class.

This isn’t faith. This is delusion protected by cultural majority. True Christians™ inherited a mythology, slapped the word “truth” on it, and now pretend everyone else is gullible for doing the same with their inherited stories. It’s mythological impertinence: “Our ridiculous stories are sacred. Yours are quaint and potentially dangerous.”

How convenient.

You want to talk about primitive? Let’s talk about a god who demands blood sacrifices, commits global genocide, incinerates cities, and gets jealous when people build a tall tower. That’s not divine wisdom — that’s Bronze Age warlord energy with a Marvel Comic vibe.

The truth is, people born in ancient Greece swore by Apollo. People born in Iran are typically praising Allah. True Christians™ were born into a culture that gave them Jesus. That’s it. And instead of being humbled by this fact, this cosmic lottery distribution has somehow convinced True Christians™ that everyone else is not just wrong, but stupid and speeding headlong into eternal perdition.

It’s not faith that leads True Christians™ to dismiss other mythologies. It’s arrogance while wearing a cross necklace.

So, if you're a True Christian™, maybe, just maybe, before sneering at someone who believes in forest spirits or ancestral souls or elephant-headed gods, ask yourself: What part of a virgin birth, holy angels, talking snakes, global floods, and divine blood rituals sounds like the pinnacle of enlightened, rational thought?

Because to those of us who have escaped their cultural True Christian™ conditioning, it sounds like the same thing you laugh at — just with different branding.
