Real Proof that Zeus exists! (page 2)

In all honesty, the Hylian religion makes the most sense. http://desertcolossus.com/compendium2/index.php?Chronicle%20of%20Hyrulian%20History

In a world where you can learn teleportation and fire spells, speak with the goddesses, buy/sell magical elixers (that actually work), where you regularly see people who have fairy companions helping them out, where the rulers have super-human powers, and the gods actually HELP people in a provable manner (IE, transporting a hero through time in order to defeat a warlock. etc.) Where temples have glowing energy beacons that prove it's a magical place.

THAT is a world where religion makes sense, and where people should pray, and be concerned with what the gods want... We don't live in that world.

I am now ashamed to think that I was once an atheist.

So what are you now then? A ultimate-angrey-anti-religion-man-of-super-dooper-ooberness-eist or a mighty-lord-of-anti-god-and-tuna-sauce-eist?

Zeus is indeed real. I am not a fool, I was prepared to rebel against him. I tried to trick Zeus (who knows all and sees all) with a false sacrifice and I also stole fire from Zeus and gave it to you primitive mortals on earth. Zeus did not punish me alone, he punished the entire world for the effrontery of this rebel god.

Zeus is the Father.

I believe in Zeus. Seriously.

Zeus, and the Latin form Jupiter, means "Sky-Shine-Father", and seems to be an Indo-European evocation of the Fatherhood of God. And since the Father is part of the Christian Trinity, Zeus can be seen as reflective of the ancient Greek understanding (albeit "imperfect" when seen from a Christian Trinitarian perspective) of the First Person of the Christian Trinity.

Zeus, poetically referred to by the vocativeZeu pater ("O, father Zeus"), is a continuation of *Di?eus, the Proto-Indo-European god of the daytime sky, also called * Dyeus ph 2 ter ("Sky Father"). [1] The god is known under this name in Sanskrit (cf. Dyaus/Dyaus Pita), Latin (cf. Jupiter, from Iuppiter, deriving from the PIE vocative * dyeu-ph 2 ter [2] ), deriving from the basic form *dyeu- ("to shine", and in its many derivatives, "sky, heaven, god"). [1] And in Germanic and Norse mythology (cf. *Tiwaz > OHGZiu, ONTýr), together with Latin deus, divus and Dis(a variation of dives [3] ), from the related noun *deiwos. [3] To the Greeks and Romans, the god of the sky was also the supreme god, whereas this function was filled out by Odin among the Germanic tribes. Accordingly, they did not identify Zeus/Jupiter with either Tyr or Odin, but with Thor ( Þórr ). Zeus is the only deity in the Olympic pantheon whose name has such a transparent Indo-European etymology. [4]
