The Confirmation Bias of the Christo-Atheist
There seems to be a lot of people on the internet that call themselves "Atheist" but they believe in Gods like Mars, Venus and History (Clio). They WISH so hard that they were atheists, that they are willing to do all kinds of dancing and gymnastics. They simply can not handle a religion that is not Christianity, Islam or Judaism. It's like the old scenario where an AI computer fries circuits when you ask it a paradoxical question.
They will say "That is ancient, no one believes that anymore", but 15% of the planet is Hindu. And some Buddhists worship Hindu Gods. Then there are Zoroastrians and everything. But Hindus alone are the 3rd largest religion, in front of even JUDAISM.
They will say "That is not a real God, that is a god" and they don't even realize that the crusades are the only reason they think that. They are being Christo-Atheists.
They will say "You are conflating names" because they are not willing to click a simple link and learn that the Ogdoad shows us planet worship from 2000 BC forward. But my reply to them is just to show them that the Ogdoad is the solar system, not a bunch of "Magic Men" for example ZEUS IS JUPITER, Ancient people did not think Zeus lived in the clouds, he was a PLANET.
They will say "Those are myths", and all I have to say is "So is most of George Washington's life, but there is some truth in their still". Remember the Cherry tree and all that, those are called "National Myths" and they help make people feel united, it's NORMAL for nations to have these, even ancient ones.
It's just like confirmation bias on top of confirmation bias. They don't actually want to discuss the topic at hand, they want to talk about ANYTHING else, because they know that Planets exist and they still want to be atheist. But if you look in to it, the word "Atheos" was not invented for people with "No Gods" it was made for people who "Rejected the Popular Gods", which are the PLANETS.
