How all the religions intervene, how I might be crazy, and should I runaway?
Rule 1: Don't read Atheists
Rule 2: Read the whole thing
This is not bait or troll I am serious
Please read the whole thing. PLEASE! It might start something. MIGHT
So I was thinking today in English class we finished the Odyssey and I later got bored.
So that's where the Christian part kicks in. I was wondering how was Moses described in the Bible then I remember he had a beard and looked old. Doesn't that sound a bit like Poseidon to you? Then it hit me Moses parted the red sea... He controlled water and what could Poseidon do? [spoiler]control water[/spoiler]
Then I told my "friends" at lunch[spoiler]yes I have friends[/spoiler] and they told me "what did you smoke" so I left and went into the library and red the bible [spoiler]yes I have a bible in my backpack[/spoiler] and looked at genesis and I noticed how it mentions how Satan change his appearance/shapeshifted . And who is another person in mythology or religion who can shape shift? [spoiler]Loki from Norse mythology. Loki is also the bad guy in Norse mythology[/spoiler]
Now on Norse mythology there was a goddess named iduun... Iduun sounds a bit like eden like the garden of eden. But for solid evidence iduun also had apples specifically apples that made you god like... Like the tree of knowledge from the bible or the golden apples Hercules had to steal.
Then I noticed that the Bible mentions hades in the first couple of pages in revelations. Hades like Satan.
Then I thought about how the Bible and the Quran are similar and how Greek mythology and roman mythology are similar.
What did God do at a party? Turn water into wine just like Dionysius from Greek mythology
And here I am in my room as a 14 year old male in 9th grade who has a 3.6 GPA and is 9:06 PM failing only biology [spoiler]I don't want to believe evolution[/spoiler] thinking should I run away from home to trace Satan, Jesus, or God. Run away to apprentice Jesus's powers to help others.
Should I run away to apprentice their powers?
Or do you think I am crazy?

They traded and interacted with each other. After this happened over long periods of time, elements of other religions mixed with the origins of Christianity. It's in human nature to believe in a higher power like a God. When we didn't understand anything, we would use our imagination to fill in that gap of the unknown. It's more like walking in the dark and imagining a figure in the distance when we hear something, even though there is nothing there. Religion is something we needed for our fear of the unknown during ancient times. Now we are moving away from that, because we understand our planet and the universe enough to realize that we don't need a god or gods to fill in the unknown. Point is, we worked together to find something that sounds like it makes sense and we made the basis of religion to fill in the gap of the unknown. The high God of gods, the gods of each element of life, the prophet (Muhammad, Hercules, Jesus, etc), and so forth. We even modified these elements to help make each religion more distinct from others. Like having one God for all elements. If you look back at the time before civilizations interacted. You will see very different religions, each with a completely different basis. Look at the Iroquois for example. Eventually, we worked together and made the scaffolding for religion.
