Religions And Mythology
Religions have been a branch of the tree of humans. As it grows, the branch grew as well. Although they are extinct believes. Although we continue to read, analyze and use those ancient faiths. The Greek and roman mythology are probably the biggest “religions” which have no followers even though they still survive. Why are these extinct? What are he differences and relationships with the faiths that host millions of people today?The biggest similarities are (the more relevant similarities to answer our questions):· The both have god/gods and they attribute the existence to those.· These god (s) are the creators of the world.· All the god (s) are “better” than humansThe biggest differences are (the more relevant differences to answer our questions):· Religions are more authoritarian of the divinity of there only god.· Mythology creates a direct relationship with humans although they don’t doubt of the divinity. (Humans are also the creators of some thongs; Phaeton son of Apollo, is the creator of the deserts, darked colored people and other stuff. The gods have human characteristics and have family which may be humans, such as Hercules is son of Zeus.)· Mythology describes a great percentage of some phenomenons. Religions lack of this. (In Romans myths they explain several things such as the echo)If you were to drop conclusions, you would point out that mythology is more believable or explanative than what religions are. Myths explain the echo, love ugliness, mountains, deserts, rivers, ext. Modern believes are too straight minded. Although, people have faith in the unbelievable, mystery, unexplanatory and very authoritarian. Myths lack of one aspect, humans need. Salvation, different from: “humans go to the underworld, were they live in the river and a skeleton passes you from a side of death to the other and charges a gold coin# (which is not nice to live in for the rest of eternity) they have no consequent or positive explanation of death and after it. Religions do, most of them are: you will live in the heaven (which is supposed to be an excellent place)but if you do bad on earth you will go to hell.
