Why is your god real and theirs isn't?
If you were able to go back in time and ask an Egyptian from 5000 years ago, or a Roman living under Caesar Augustus or a Spartan if their gods and goddesses were real and actually influenced the world they would believe as strongly and argue just as hard as a current day Christian, Muslim or Hindu. We look back and name these older and extinct religions “Myths” and “Mythologies”. But, how do we know that they are not as valid (or as ridiculous) as any of the current religions on this planet? In another 1000 or 3000 years will that populace look back and consider the Christian faith or the Muslim beliefs to be mythologies and their various fables, stories and parables to be myths? Will the stories we tell now and the legends we currently hold become the new religions?
