The Bible says that Satan and his servants are always looking for people to take with them when the time of judgement comes. I think Satan and his servants posed or tricked the Greeks about Zeus, Athena, Mercury, ect.
Please take a minute to think about this for a moment. The Greeks were busy worshiping Zeus and didn't worship the Christian God. What happened to the Greeks who worshiped Zeus instead of the Christian God? Well they all fell for Satan's trick and are waiting for him in hell. |
That makes sense, but keep in mind, that Satan is a figure of evil for Christianity. He doesn't appear (Lucifer) in any other religion (not that I know of, if I have my facts wrong, correct me). So, to not believe in Satan, is to not believe in God, and vice versa. Assuming the bible is correct, than over 3/4 of the world is doomed.
Then again, now I think of it, Jesus was sent to "write the wrong", or whatever you call it, teach us of the good word, maybe the hidden agenda was to correct people of their god? Tell them there is only one god, not others (i.e. the greeks).
I'm a skeptical, but very open to the topic, and I am very open to the science side too.
