This is a meaningless myth that is associated with this religion. The ancient Greek and Roman worlds made important contributions to both religion and philosophy, the study of the nature of truth, knowledge, and moral values. The Christian apostle, or follower, of Jesus, Paul (died 67 ce; also known as Saint Paul), was well trained in Platonic and other forms of Greek philosophy. Greco-Roman philosophy focused on objective inquiry, asking unbiased questions that favor no particular outcome. In other cultures these questions were answered by religion. A normative element is also indicated in classification schemes that preserve theological distinctions, such as that between natural and revealed religion. The Sophists had already shifted discussions away from the substance of nature, or natural science, to the realm of morality and society. The Christian faith persisted in British society after imperial Roman rule had ended. Greek and Roman religion was polytheistic; ancient Greeks and Romans worshipped many gods and goddesses. Many of the myths and other stories known about the Greek gods actually have come through Roman authors, who adapted the work of Greek writers or created stories of their own to fit their conception of the Greek deities. Homer’s famous epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey give order to the chaos of all the separate myths that existed at the time.

The scientific method is an approach to conducting research in which a problem is stated, data or pieces of information are gathered, a hypothesis or intelligent guess is made from these data, and this hypothesis is then tested through experiments. Although many of the answers found by early Greek philosophers regarding the nature of the universe were later proved false, their use of logical analysis led to the rise of the scientific method. It is often seen as humanity’s first attempt to provide rational explanations for the workings of the world, without mythological content (traditional legends or stories) or the use of gods to explain existence. As you can understand this puja is not eaten by gods but they only use it’s smells, colors or light & only to bring happiness to their minds. Though they are unwittingly remembered every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the worship of these pagan gods left little physical trace. On top of all these economic benefits, one that cannot really be quantified is that people who are religiously involved are also happier. Homer explained the family relationships between the various gods, gave each one a title and a specific power or responsibility, such as Zeus, as the supreme god; Poseidon, the god of sea; or Ares, the god of war.

Wherever people live, whenever they live, they find themselves faced with three inescapable problems: how to win food and shelter from their natural environment (the problem nature poses), how to get along with one another (the social problem), and how to relate themselves to the total scheme of things (the religious problem). That is about one-sixth of our total economic output. If you’re sincerely seeking God, God will make His existence evident to you. Muslims are living on the Crescent Moon, and it seems large to them, much larger than the Son of God, whose blinding radiance fills the universe. Homer is held responsible for raising twelve gods over the others and giving them Mount Olympus as their living place. By about 900 bce these numerous gods and goddesses had begun to be organized into the pantheon, or collection of deities, honored in ancient Greece. Ancient Greeks and Romans were strongly affected by these gods and goddesses. They worshipped them daily, offering parts of each meal to the gods and taking part in special religious festivals and holidays. If anyone does decide that religion sounds like a pretty good deal and makes regular religious attendance part of his or her New Year’s resolution, that would be a wonderful blessing.

The rapid economic growth of Taiwan since the 1970s and 1980s (“Taiwan Miracle”) accompanied by a quick renewal of Chinese folk religion, challenging Max Weber’s theories on secularisation and disenchantment, has led many scholars to investigate how folk religious culture, with its emphasis on values like loyalty, its social network of temples and gods’ societies, may have contributed to the island’s economic development. After World War II, Einstein was offered the presidency of the State of Israel, which he declined, but he contributed to the establishment of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. When you consider the nation of Israel, even the land where it sits, let it be a reminder that when God says something, He’ll do it. But even more than money, politics or religion, Manifest Destiny demonstrated something else about the mindset of many Americans. According to the Roman writers who provide the earliest written accounts of prehistoric religion, late Iron Age worship focused not on built temples but on ‘sacred groves’, the haunts of Druids, whose name means ‘oak-knowers’. However, Greek religion, and later Roman religion, had no specific rules of proper behavior.
