Well it follows the Scientific method. If it can't be proven or disproven then its a Theory.

I didn't knew the theory of gravity can't be proven 😬

Isn't it curious that ALL RELIGIONS work under the principles of Hell, Heaven, and Earth? Good vs Evil, Satan vs God.

Who said God has a centered mind? Who said God does have regrets or doesn't change his behavior? He is an Eternal Being, i doubt an Eternal Being would behave the same way through eternity.

He was the one saying that he felt alone.

They don't all work under that principle. Read up on the Eastern religions. People in close proximity are going to have similar stories, nothing curious about that.

Are you serious? how can you judge someone when you change the rules? Only furthers the "God is an A hole" stance.

You misunderstood. He said he was alone in the sense that no one was around him, not in the emotional state of mind.

Umm...they don't?

Just look at the Greek mythology.

Are you kidding me?
Hades isn't a big bad, and neither are the Olympic gods good people.

The Greek gods were both good and evil at the same time. All of them. The only battle was over power, not righteousness.

Ohh yeah!?

Do you know who the Mayas and Aztecas are? 2000 Years when Jesus was walking Jerusalem, the Mayas were worried not to enter Xibalba while a few of them manage to climb the branches of the Ceiba tree.

Considering that Science claims that Colombus was the first one to reach America there was no way they could share such knowledge.

Why should Church be a place for emotional solitude only?

I guess you could call the giants & especially Typhon bad guys, but Zeus & friends are certainly no good guys.

Again, God might have a change of thought.

Also forgetting the fact that God exiled Thousands of Angels to Earth!...

Well, i wouldn't discard the idea of them being fallen Angels...

And who is the good guy in the olympic stories?

Also, kek @them being fallen angels - The Titans are the parents, uncles & aunts of Zeus.

Yeah.

These are just incoherent sentences dude. Science doesn't claim that Columbus was the first person to discover America (That would be historians though). It has been stated that there other explorers beforehand. You have google, use it.

If you don't feel alone, why do you need to go there?

Can you stick to one religion please? You're all over the place. Not to mention God is supposed to be infallible so he should have gotten it right the first time correct? No need to change his mind. It makes no sense for him to do so.

Yes you are right Historians. Well it's a debated thing.

Either way those are theories. And still, the Maya Civilization lived way before the Vikings did! So again, no way they could have contacted each other.

We are discussing Religion! If there was a concrete answer to the questions we wouldn't be having this discussion.

So anything is possible.

I apologize if am going all over the place, but when discussing Religion nothing is concrete. Anything is possible.

I am just giving you possible answers to your questions.

They were around at the same time. There is even theories that they made it down to Mexico.

They don't logically make sense given that several of the western religions make a point to say that there God/Religion is the only true religion. Why would God tell different cultures that? It's not logical.
