> BTW -- the Greek word for gods is "demon". Now you know.

So cultists in the 300s made Greek and Roman Gods to be evil monsters. Got it.

The earliest preachers were calling the Greek gods angels (at least the "good" ones.) They were emphasizing that Jesus was a sort of super-god and that he had a Father which was super-duper God.

It's really interesting to dig into what they actually wrote and what it actually meant in the cultural context of their time. Pauls' witness to the Athenians is super interesting once you realize what the altar to the "unknown God" really was.

Did you know that Socrates and other ancient philosophers didn't worship the Greek pantheon? They though that stuff was fairy tales you tell simple-minded folk to keep them from murdering each other.
