Quote: r3x29yz4a said: Doesn't god create mankind from dust? much like the aboriginal creation myths. Heaven is very similar to Olympus and Asgard in many respects. And the reason there's not a lot of explanations for the world around us is because instead of attributing one god to each event (like the sun, wind, death) everything has the explanation of "god did it."
The reason its lasted so long is because way back when it gained a foothold in the Roman empire and the emperor (I think Constantine) converted and then adapted much Pagan mythology to christianity in order to unite the empire. Then years of brutal forced conversions placed seeds of Christianity throughout the world.
You really need to work on your history. All of this is false.
