2/28/16 God's Of Egypt, Tonight, Maybe?

    All right religious peeps, here we are with another movie about gods.  This one God's of Egypt sounds self explanatory where the gods are from, a little different than Hercules or Wrath of the Titans, which uses Greek gods.  To keep all on equal footing, there was Noah which used ideas from the Holy Bible. 
    These are three separate religions, all great, in their time, but what of so many others?  Why don't we see movies with Mayan or Aztec gods, not fair to say Mexican gods, because when the Spanish conquered, they brought Christianity and forced it on the people at the tips of their sword starting near the end of the 1500's. 
    Looking at them, why did we go from believing in polytheism to eventually monotheism and shouldering everything unto one god?  It seems every group of people from the greeks in the south to the Vikings in the north believed in many gods.  It was the same in primitive North America, before the Europeans came and conquered.  The indian tribes had different gods they would pray to for whatever activity was being pursued.
    There do exist a handful of religions that fall under monotheism, Islam and Christianity being the biggest.  I kind of like the idea of different gods being responsible for different things.  If we don't get our way in one request, well you can say a god is mad at us, but if something doesn't go your way, then you must assume God doesn't want you to succeed.  That is a much heavier burden. 
    I love the idea of believing in any of the religions.  To have existed when the Greeks were in their prime and the gods would come and mingle with man, creating demi gods like Hercules is just awesome.  The thinking behind building the great pyramids is also nice.  Using up to 100,000 people and enormous resources, kings would build this contraptions that would help them reach the heavens and start their new lives.  They were buried with riches, I had even read that servants were buried with them, you know, for the king's comfort.  Best case scenario, there are about 130 pyramids discovered in Egypt, maybe 130 royals ride their magic stone pointy ships to the next reincarnation, what of the 100000 people that worked on them?  Too bad, so sad.
    How about Christianity?  2000 years later, man is still born with a sin because two idiots ate an apple?  really?  Taking a little bath in water cleanses your soul enough to get you to heaven, but no water even if you're a baby and you get stuck in purgatory.  Wow, I guess JC and the crew don't like parents who procrastinate about dunking that baby.  And I hate that you can be an asshole your whole life, kill a few people, never contribute to society, but if you ask for forgiveness on the way to the electric chair, sure you too can hang out with God and all the fat little cherubs.  I call BS.
