Welcome to the Matrix
You might find Gods and Goddesses of various sorts in some parts, but most here subscribe to the Judeo-Christian 'God', or some variation thereof, although some of us are somewhat eclectic.
What brings you to the board, and what are your intentions for discussion here?

You'll have to prove your statement with evidence, if you can provide some.
While various forms or personalities heralded as 'gods' or 'demons' exist in one's mind, it is most often evident that that is the only place they do in fact exist. We include in this also our 'ideas' and 'concepts' of 'God'. They are just thoughts, ideas, concepts, images entertained by mind. Apparently that puts your religious 'pantheon' or 'program' in the same boat, so to speak,....paddling along within the same universal ocean of consciousness.

Ok, that's fine. I recommend perhaps a thread on your belief in the Greek gods in the 'Religion' section, and how you see them as pertinent to today's world situation, and what a belief in such gods affords one. Be creative. Many will either demonize your 'gods' or deem them just 'idols' of imagination. Do you have a counter thought or argument in favor of a different perspective that would validate these gods?

I recall doing a cool book report on the greek gods, and drawing them. It was pretty cool. I approach it more on a mythological, psychological, archetypal level. On a universal scale however, one could equally critique any religious tradition's concept or image of 'God' or 'Goddess', as mythological archetypes used allegorical for the religious mind, applying these ideals where appropriate. One could question 'Zues' or 'Hermes' just as well as 'Jesus', 'Krishna' or 'Buddha', as being mythological beings. That puts all the playing pieces on the same board eh?

Those greek Gods aka known as demons that distracted man from the one true creator were basically defeated when Christ came and His disciples started spreading the gospel in those areas that worshiped those gods.
The same thing happened to the norse gods/demons
Christians spread the gospel and humiliated those powers and principalities
China and south korea are being impacted by Christians in a powerful way and those demon/ancestoral gods are being eliminated by the ((power)) of the gospel.
india has held out the longest as far as idols and multiple gods/demons.
but southeast india Christ is being preached at a great and successful rate.

Greek Gods? I think you been born 2000 years too late. They are defunct.
Defunct? No, they never were. Can't be defunct if they never were. Just love those eyes, Sister!...they're awesome, and a lovely shade of green! LOL
