To any of those practicing the Kemetic religion: what exactly drew you to it? I mean, there are probably very few families nowadays where the children are born and raised worshipping Egyptian gods. I'm sure that an interest in Egypt had something to do with it, but was there a defining moment where you actually felt some sort of presence?

Personally, I've been born and raised Christian, and from time to time I feel some sort of closeness to God, and I'm just wondering if you ever get that same sort of feeling.

I've gone to all sorts of camps and stuff, and most Christians seem to give the viewpoint: we're right, you're all wrong. But after studying world religions in Christian Ethics, I've sort of been second-guessing my perception of God. I mean, I still have my faith, but I've been wondering if there's some sort of way that everyone is right.

Thoth . . . self-created . . . discovered books, papyrus and writing. . . God of wisdom and of knowledge. . . King of the Gods (after Re, in a limited number of myths). . . A God of the waxing Moon. . . .

I would assume the Kemetic practitioners were decent human beings. They believed in their gods, and really did not have any time or want to go explore the world and "save" the heathens.

Honestly, anyone that's pompus enough to believe that their way is the only way, no questions asked, is an idiot. I really don't know how to word that sentence without it coming out rude, but that's the best I am willing to try Smile

...Maybe I should stop here before I really unfold. In short, Egyptian Kemetics had better morals than the God fearing/loving people of today. ...Crap, I've just turned this into a religeous argument, haven't I? ...I'm going to steer clear of this thread for a while.

Anyhoo, the Egyptian diety I associate myself with most would be Set. I'm not necessarily a fighter; in fact, I hate violence... But I absolutely love a good argument (especially when I can throw in philosophy). Wink

Edit >> I just thought I'd clear something up. When I say that anyone pompus enough to believe that their way is the only way, no questions asked, is an idiot, I mean that they have no way of even acknowleging any other viewpoints. Someone who is stuck in their ways, but is willing to at least see the point of an opposing force is alright by me. I just can't stand blind faith.

I do agree with you, PsyPharaoh! One should always try to understand the others' points of view and respect them...unfortunately, as we know well, it's not always like that.....and I agree with the point that this curiosity is sign of great intelligence and good predisposition towards the other people.... Wink

I am the [Arbiter] of Anpu, and i am most certainly devoted to my master. But i must inquire as to what you mean by many religions. Do you all not know the true story? Of how you were created? How can you not know? Surely you have been touched by your patron god? My society is bent on recreating the old ways. You think the catholic pope dying was a simple coincidence? no, things are going to start changing soon, now that They have returned. With my Anpu's help, we captured Elijah the Heretic, and put him on trial. His Angels still try to spring him, but they are weakening. Perhaps you should ask your patron to tell you the True story. It's written in the Book of Prophecy.

Do you believe the Kemetic Gods to be all powerful?
