The culture and history of religion can be fascinating, but to claim that there is a literal difference between a religious notion of belief in purgatory and limbo is utter bulls<>t. How can this possibly be proven, when it is only born out of a belief, that is only made “real” due to delusion of belief.

What Pan means to you, which is Greek mythology and just symbolic of something that the majority of people only DO see as a fairy tale, operates on a different dynamic, to a religious order in modern day, that do peddle their vain and arrogant bulls<>t onto current followers as being truth of God, when it operates from lies and manipulation of power.

But Greek religion was not a fairy tale. It explained in very real terms the natural forces of the universe. I've been into the occult and paganism. Frankly, it creates practical results.

Perhaps it's similar to the 'power of positive thinking' and disciplines which business people use in their daily lives for success. These principles do work. In AA when I did my Higher Power prayer, work went great. If I was depressed and said fuck it, no appeal to the Higher Power, things never went so well.

I don't think Christianity and Catholicism began as cynical attempts to control people. They were a means people used before science to understand the universe.

They are still a fairy tale\myth\legend, whatever it is you want to call it. An ancient story to express something about being in the world, when the world existed, before we know it as what it is now.

The culture\art associated with these religions, not so much customs, need to be retained, but they can't be taken anymore seriously than Christianity and Islam. They are delusion of belief only about what God represents. Hinduism and perhaps Greek mythology, is more about bringing it all together as whole, not about divisiveness of man from god.
