Thanks for keeping an open mind. A lot of people are taught from childhood that Abrahamism is representative of all religion, and they stick to that even when the truth is in front of their face. This state of affairs was manufactured, it didn’t used to be like this. People used to be a lot more accepting of religions they didn’t understand. In fact, before the Roman Empire, most people believed in the gods of every religion, and that was normal. And I can also assure you the ancient Greeks didn’t have Christian reservations about sexual pleasure. They had their own set of rules, but it was a different set.
TIL, thanks for the link and excerpt.
