Native-American Creation Myth: Dream A Little Dream. “The woman and the man dreamed that God was dreaming them.”(imagine that ) The rest involves God singing and shaking his maracas, smoking some tobacco, being happy, but trembling with doubt. The woman and the man, on the other hand, dream that a huge, shining egg appears in God’s dream (still following?), one in which they are singing and dancing and basically causing a ruckus (hey, they were ready to be born, already). They sang in quote 'I break this egg and the woman is born and the man is born. And together they will live and die. But they will be born again. The will be born and will die again and once more will be born. And they shall never cease to be born, because death is a lie.' I'm guess these fellows are the 'reincarnation gang ' 1 Like

Hindu Creation Myth: It’s Like Buttah. Rig Veda, the earliest Vedic text, says it all begin with a big, old’ monster. Or just a “gigantic being.” Purusha was his name, and he possessed a thousand heads, eyes and feet and enveloped the Earth. The Gods decided it was time to etgay idray ofway Urushapay, so they sacrificed him. What was left? Clarified butter, but of course. But this buttah did more than simply be finger licking good; it created the birds and animals. All those crazy body parts became the world’s elements, along with the Hindu Gods Agni, Vayu, and Indra. Priests, warriors, the “regular” peeps, and servants, i.e. the caste system, also came from his body (so he was classist, I take it?) Then they decided to go and change the story and make it about Brahma, the creator, Vishnu, the preserver, and Shiva, the destroyer. Vishnu sleeps; Brahma appears in a lotus sprouting from his navel. Once done sprouting, Brahma creates the universe, but only for one of his days…which is 4.32 billion of our years. Then Shiva’s gotta come in and do her thing, destroying the universe, all so that the universe can begin again. (I think we’re only a bit into a new cycle, so we’re all good.) I'm definitely joining this Religion Lol I'm good a freethinker thank you 2 Likes

My favorite creation mythos is by JRR Tolkien in the Silmarillion. Ainulindalë ("The Music of the Ainur"[T 4]), takes the form of a primary creation narrative. Eru ("The One"[T 5]), also called Ilúvatar ("Father of All", first created the Ainur, a group of eternal spirits or demiurges, called "the offspring of his thought". Ilúvatar brought the Ainur together and showed them a theme, from which he bade them make a great music. Melkor – whom Ilúvatar had given the "greatest power and knowledge" of all the Ainur – broke from the harmony of the music to develop his own song. Some Ainur joined him, while others continued to follow Ilúvatar, causing discord in the music. This happened three times, with Eru Ilúvatar successfully overpowering his rebellious subordinate with a new theme each time. Ilúvatar then stopped the music and showed them a vision of Arda and its peoples. The vision disappeared, and Ilúvatar offered the Ainur the opportunity to enter into Arda and govern the new world. Many Ainur accepted, taking physical form and becoming bound to that world. The greater Ainur became the Valar, while the lesser Ainur became the Maiar. The Valar attempted to prepare the world for the coming inhabitants (Elves and Men), while Melkor, who wanted Arda for himself, repeatedly destroyed their work; this went on for thousands of years and, through waves of destruction and creation, the world took shape. Valaquenta ("Account of the Valar"[T 4]) describes Melkor and each of the 14 Valar in detail, and a few of the Maiar. It reveals how Melkor seduced many Maiar – including those who would eventually become Sauron and the Balrogs – into his service. 4 Likes |

Well for starters, outside of the Abrahamic religions that have a developed conception of God that is utterly transcendent and distinct from the universe; an infinite individual who created the universe out of nothing, other creation myths have mostly anthropomorphic concepts of God and a creator within or part of the universe. That's kind of a big difference. |

CAPSLOCKED: Very true..... And still,we will kill ourselves for the foreign God. The lady really says alot ... Africans are truly lost in their delusion that a foreign god is their saviour,........yesterday I asked where their foreign god was when those little children in Biafran war were suffering, I asked why God hasn't healed a man who's leg was amputated during war despite the man see the foreign god, one Christian said that because God works in mysterious ways..... See this imges below and tell me if you as a father will see your children and even your enemies children in this condition and you won't help them The last picture says alot 2 Likes
