Many religious traditions require the the converting or killing of nonbelievers and ritualistic blood sacrifice (sometimes human), that does not mean that those things are universal. To me that indicates that certain religions and traditions are just plain evil and wrong because they were set up by an evil being or false god if you prefer in order to enslave mankind as is the assertion of my op.
In Greek mythology, who created Zeus as an angel who "fell"? In other words, who, in Greek mythology,plays the role of the Christian God?
Well since Greek mythology was written about Zeus and what he said and did, any truth about his true identity as a usurper would not be mentioned. He certainly would not tell the truth about it. Who would worship him and let their women get seduced or raped by such a foul being if they knew the truth.
YHVH never mentioned to the Israelite in the bible that he was not the one true god of creation and neither did Allah say that to Mohamed. I would not expect the truth from lying pretenders.
The pharos of old were considered living gods and yet not one of them ever said "hey I'm not a god, I'm just a person like you" to his people.
So I guess the short answer is as stated in the OP, the one true God, the divine source of creation has been all but completely erased from our history. Instead we have a whole bunch of different stories of the guardians that rebelled and divided up the earth and it's people amongst themselves.

How could Zeus predate Zeus? What I am saying is that Zeus is Satan by a different name. I could reverse it if it helps and say that Satan is Zeus by a different name but the point remains the same. You are so focused on the name Satan that you are entirely missing the point.
The name is irrelevant if you think of it from the perspective that I have put forth. In fact that is the main idea of what I have put forth.
You don't have to agree with me but it should not be difficult to understand me. Zeus, Satan, Yahweh and other ancient gods (Ra and Enki) seem to have had very similar characteristics. That's the gist of it.
You said that people have been on earth for 1500,000 years, I think this is entirely possible but I would not state that factually because there is no way of knowing for sure or proving it.
You seem to believe that you have a superior grasp on the subject than myself or other posters yet all you give as evidence is your own statements.
I don't have any problem with differing opinions but let's not pretend that they are anything more than that.
I hope I have made myself clear enough for you.
If you don't know that there is hard evidence proving that people (ie. Homo sapiens) have existed for 150,000 years, I suggest that you put down your mythology books and study some science.
Your "subject" is myths and you can engage in any fantasies about myths that you choose. However, you can not successfully claim that myths about Satan preceded myths about all ancient deities. You are now modifying your claim to state that some ancient deities had the same characteristics as the Christian Satan. It is hardly a revelation that there is similarity and continuity between myths and mythological characters of different cultures. There's an entire field of study devoted to it: comparative mythology. Nevertheless, those similarities in no way prove that any of those mythological figures ever existed or exist now, including your favorites.
If you wish you to claim that Satan, Yahweh, Zeus and the others exist as fact, you'll need to cite testable evidence proving your claim is fact. Can you do that or do you wish to keep this all within the realm of fantasy?

You sir are very good at analysis, I have recently concluded with the same, plus or minus a few things, especially after becoming a truth seeker, there is an issue, the confusion with YHVH has possibly been introduced to confuse, I think there is a chance that the lesser God, the creator of Man, has used certain elements that might be attributed to the all, the only one God of the Universe, so that mankind will never know the fact of the matter, that he is in fact a creation below the creation of the all and the infinite being, the one that truly cannot be known or comprehended.
Thanks for your insight and truth of this reality, I am still learning, had to go all the way back to the first 5 books of Moses to realize this truth that many people are very misled about.

If this is all just myth to you and you really believe that every civilization on earth was full of either schizophrenics or pathological liars in ancient times, then why do you even care about anyone's thoughts on this matter.
Hard evidence of the existence of humans 150,000 years ago? Maybe, but there is hard physical evidence that dinosaurs lived along side humans not so long ago, not speculative evidence such as the so called evidence for evolution like: we found to sets of animal bones so one must have evolved from the other.
Even so, hard evidence is not necessarily proof. Anyways, I already said that I believe that it is entirely possible that humans have been on earth for 150,000 or even longer so I don't understand why you are even bringing it up again.
Or maybe I do.
You just have an axe to grind. I have no desire to be your sharpening stone. Thank you for your input.

The point is, every religion that believes in good, evil, and righteousness believes that THEIR idea of good and evil or THEIR idea of righteousness is the TRUE version.
Nothing special about believing that yours is the only true one.

Every religion that is based on ancient human like gods is IMO a deception perpetrated by evil aliens, fallen angels or whatever you prefer to call them. None of them were true gods, they just wanted to play god and turn us pathetic earth people into their slaves or subjects or whatever.
Zeus was known for breeding with earth women and making hybrid children just as the bible says the fallen ones did. The same is true of some of the Annunaki from what I have read and Egyptian gods.
They all seem to tell the same story, just from different perspectives. This does not mean that everyone who has been fooled into believing in them is evil. It just means that our true history has been hijacked along with our present and future just as the bible says.
I stated in the OP that the only ones that I think are or were even close to keeping the original teachings are/were some Native American tribes and perhaps other tribal type peoples that somehow managed to stay close to nature and avoid the trappings of materialism that is currently on a fast track to observe, control and indoctrinate us all with whatever nonsense the self appointed slave drivers wish. I am paraphrasing here, but you get the idea.

OK, that's an interesting theory. I just wish you would apply it to the Bible, too. I don't see how you can believe that and then refer to parts of the Bible to support it. Wouldn't the Bible also be filled with lies?

This is all in the op, yes of course the bible is full of lies the biggest one being that YHVH is god, or by way of comparison that Zeus was god, that does not mean that none of it is true, just like Greek mythology is based on lies but also represents some truth. This is the whole problem, separating the lies from the truth.

But you are confusing truth, which is a belief, with fact, which is based on testable evidence. So are your claims beliefs or are you claiming that they're facts? If you're claiming that they're beliefs, cool. If you're claiming that they're facts, you need to prove them with testable evidence.
Are you familiar with hermeticism? You might find it interesting.

Did Julies Ceasar exist? Is that a fact or a belief? What testable evidence do we have of any of the ceasars? Maybe a bad example but I think you know what I am getting at. What testable proof do you have to support your belief in accepted history. Some things can be proven, and others cannot. Weather you realize it or not we all believe things as fact that cannot be proven with testable evidence. Notice this is posted in the religion/theology forum.
If you read the op, these questions are already answered.

"The truth is not a religion it is just reality. All religions are just a cheap substitution for the truth including Darwinism IMO. "
Unfortunately, Darwinism (survival of the fittest) is true. Those with more knowledge, abilities, and weapons keep other people under their control. You even said yourself that satan and his followers are controlling humanity without them being aware of his true nature (and without some even knowing that he exists); and that it would take a Divine Source (something more superior to satan) to set things right, again.
Darwinism is true. The strongest survive and the weak get sick or eaten, but compassion can help people to help each other so that more can thrive.

Why not just say you can't prove any of your claims and be done with it?
I understand I will not be making a lot of friends with this post and I also understand that this is a lot of speculation. Intuitive speculation seems to be all that we really have left though since most everything in this world has been twisted and corrupted beyond recognition by the very ones that some of you seem to believe have liberated us.
