"By Jupiter!" "Oh my Zeus!"

Jupiter

c. 1200, "supreme deity of the ancient Romans," from Latin Iupeter, from PIE *dyeu-peter- "god-father" (originally vocative, "the name naturally occurring most frequently in invocations" [Tucker]), from *deiw-os "god" (see Zeus) + peter "father" in the sense of "male head of a household" (see father). Cf. Greek Zeu pater, vocative of Zeus pater "Father Zeus;" Sanskrit Dyauspita "heavenly father." The planet name is attested from late 13c.

Zeus 

supreme god of the ancient Greeks, 1706, from Greek, from PIE *dewos- "god" (cf. Latin deus "god," Old Persian daiva- "demon, evil god," Old Church Slavonic deivai, Sanskrit deva-), from root *dyeu- "to gleam, to shine;" also the root of words for "sky" and "day" (see diurnal). The god-sense is originally "shining," but "whether as originally sun-god or as lightener" is not now clear.

mundanity

the modern global theology of earthly life: the icons and prayers of advertising

fearless theology?

theologians' assumptions that God is distant, distracted, or "dead"
or...
the unfear of the Lord is the beginning of theological erudition

everyone

those no One, are like everyone

bemythed theologians?

reading periodically for four decades in theologians' centuries-old descriptions of "God", His character, motivations, acts, intentions...

they seemed to be bemythed

   

if religion is the opiate of the masses...

...then what were the theologians, philosophers, metaphysicians, mystics, et al, on?
some heady Italian, German, Latin, French wines?

Jefferson and Nietzsche?

surely it would be interesting, and perhaps quite enlightening, to compare the reactions and relations to "Platonism", also in "Christianity", of Jefferson and Nietzsche!
 

Leibnitz on God?

what one learns of Leibnitz on God is Leibnitz
(but in this he is just representative of many others.)
 

divine self-deception?

if all religions past and present...
and all "spiritualities" however conceived...
plus all philosophies...

are really just mankind talking to itself ?...
