Mercury for example was the god of speed. He was also the god of rape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socrates Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 People in most cultures, throughout history, have enjoyed stories about the mighty deeds of larger-than-life heroes and superhuman beings. It's part of human nature. I don't think there's anything wrong with reading superhero stories as long as we don't get too carried away or take them too seriously (or waste our lives away reading comics). There's also nothing wrong with reading myths and legends about the old Greek or Norse gods, so long as we don't worship these characters. If someone builds an altar and offers libations to Superman, that would be a problem (but if he does that, it's already obvious he's got problems to begin with!)

I think the new pagan gods are money, tv, hedonism, and case law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
