What would constitute proof of the Greek/Roman gods being the true religion? (mythology, quote) - Paganism -Polytheistic and indigenous beliefs, neopaganism, Wicca - City-Data Forum

There is a thread similar to this, but about the Abrahamic God. In this case, what do you think could be proof of the Greek/Roman ones?

the gods coming down from the sky and doing something i suppose

All those statues in Greece (and museums all over the world) coming to life and talking.

Or Bacchus coming to my front door with some of his own special reserve aged to perfection.

A chariot race in the sky with Zeus firing lightning bolts would get my attention.

I'm a Jew, (and this is close to heresy), but I've always thought the greeks and romans had the right idea with multiple gods. I mean, how on earth can one being keep track of everything? I always liked Poseidon (watch the Little Mermaid). If he controlled/prevented tsunamis and/or massive flooding, that would be a good sign.

A lot of what they believed doesn't fit in with physics, such as the world being flat. Proof requires NASA revealing the conspiracies we know are wrong, and that both the Sun and Moon are chariots.

It was always Venus which is my favorite deity. I always felt that Venus wasn't as vindictive as her counterpart Aphrodite but I could be wrong. That is just my impression of her.

Agree. Aphrodite always seemed too selfish/ self-centered.

Are there actually people who still believe in them?

I doubt it.

But they captivated me as a kid. By the time I was 13 I read every book our city's library had on Greek, Roman and Norse mythology.
