On religion (in particular Christianity), rationality, and this forum - are we allowed to discuss it?

To be honest, I think if a god is called a god in a culture's own religion they are gods whether or not we woukd call them that. It's because of faith. Faith those gods and goddesses are real.

I am not sure what religions out there that do not call their powerful deities gods, but would be called gods according to our naming conventions. Or maybe they wouldn't be called gods and behave more like angels or something.

It's a pretty simple conundrum that cultivated civilizations facing the sunlight will develop similar regards for what is good and how we navigate through the the darkness in weight of the world and its people. If a man comes back from the wilderness then it is assumed that he has done so by eating in accordance with his own hunger. Similarly if a religion exists between two remote points in time, it can be speculated that its culture, observed facing the sunlight, has a god and that it exists.

Weird. That was my quote but you got Fuzzy as the originator.

I don't recall doing anything to the post to make it do that. Weird because it's link goes to your post even, just labeled as fuzzy's specifically.
