Which specific old gods? The old gods of one group were often antithetical to the others and considered illegitimate long before Christians showed up. The gods of the Gauls were not the gods of the Druids.

All gods are fictions.

Looks like my cousin Gary Moore abit.

And in the real world?

What about Islam?

@@BuckRolly1 Islam is part of the abrahamic nonsense.

@@BuckRolly1 Islam is Abrahamic, so what do you think.

Not really, there's a reason pagan civilization was conquered by Abrahamic, and that's because it's more societal in nature. Pagan gods are more human, their followers can justify their unsocietal indulgences through the different gods, they simply aren't as demanding as Abrahamic ones. When the Abrahamic gods ask them to look to the heavens, what this truly embodies is the fact that the Abrahamic religions are state religions, they centralize power, through the symbiosis of priest and state, not only that but their books make clear moral demands, more strong, and all encompassing than that passed down through pagan morality, which does concern itself with societal value, and morality but not nearly as strongly. It was nature, and ''might means right'' that meant the pagan gods were conquered. The reason why you people are turning to these more tribal and human pagangods is because we are in a winter civilization, where the benefits of centralized worship are few and far between. Abrahamic gods, along with their spring societies will always be more succesfull, more powerful, and will conquer pagan civilization, or pagan gods within a civilization eventually.

What believe or die

By smashing the idols of pagans ..

@@realruffian Not sure that was the case initially, at least from what I've read. ("The Sun & The Cross" is a good book on this.) Of course I accept that many pagans were forced to adopt Christianity or face the sword!

The trinity made perfect sense
