How And When Did The Ancient Roman And Greek Religions Become Myths?
The ancient Roman and Greek societies and their associated religious figures and followings are reasonably well known, and, due to their classical historical significance, are continually referenced by modern society for example in the names of calendar months, planets and the Olympic Games.
However, the use of the word mythology now used in relation to those ancient religions indicates that at some point in time they ceased to be viewed as religions and were widely reclassified and accepted as nothing more than fictional fabrications.
What caused the transformation from religion to myth to occur?
For example was science the culprit, did someone wake up one day and think to themselves: 'are you 100% sure about these monsters with a hundred hands and fifty heads, I have never seen one?!!'; or were the gigantic monstrosities killed by Christianity just like when David used his sling to fell Goliath?
All men have an inherent right to life, the right to self determination including freedom from forced or compulsory labour, a right to hold opinions and the freedom of expression, and the right to a fair trial and freedom from torture. Be aware that these rights are universal and inalienable (cannot be given, taken or otherwise transferred or removed) although you do risk losing the aforementioned rights should you fail to uphold them e.g Charles Taylor; United Nations sources: http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/, http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Professional...ages/CCPR.aspx. Also Charles I was beheaded on the 30th of January of 1649 for trying to replace parliamentary democracy with an absolute monarchy, the same should happen to Dr Phil and Stephen Fry; source: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ute-Monarchism.
