The image OP used for the background is from a simcity-style game from the 90's called Zeus: Master of Olympus. One of the first games I played.

  1. I was raised VERY sheltered.

Edit. it keeps saying 1 instead of 20 for some reason.

Good times... I remember giving the deliverymen obnoxiously long routes, then I'd watch them go through the city, passing the women with their olive oil, the kids with the armor, the traders....

Oh god, I miss this game. BRB finding a torrent.

edit:ohmygod it had an expansion pack?

When I had that game, my computer couldn't run it at more than about 2 fps.

Now I have a modern computer, but I lost the game.

Here ya go. I have not tried this or downloaded this. If this doesn't work, just find another in google search. edit you're gonna need utorrent to download and probably poweriso to mount it.

So awesome but so broken in so many ways. Have Ares and Cerberus as guardians of your city? Oh I'm sorry they're too busy roaming around your streets in the north to stop the invasion of your palace to the south.

"So, you're an atheist...?"

"No, actually, I'm a polyatheist."

[–]shadow321337 4 points5 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I wouldn't suggest it. Someone will call you out for not knowing what you're talking about. You've got to remember your prefixes.

polytheism = the belief in many gods

atheism = the belief that there is not a god

monotheism= the belief in one god

Using more than one is redundant.

Edit: At least that's how I see it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's a joke. People love embiggen even though it isn't a very cromulent word.

[–]LevitatingTurtles 0 points1 point ago

I plan to use it in a hip, ironic sense. My thought on using this is to over-emphasize the point and bypass the initial "OMGWTF-UR-AN-ATHEIST-WHARBBLELLE" that can result.

"Actually, I'm a polyathiest".

"Lulz"

[–]MrE2Me 0 points1 point ago

"Poly" means many. It makes sense.

[–]TJFadness 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Atheist does not mean you don't believe in one god, it means you don't believe in any god.

To throw poly on the beginning isn't even redundant, it's grammatically incorrect.

That doesn't mean you can't use the fact that you don't believe in any god in an argument, but calling your self a polyatheist is simply incorrect.

[–]shadow321337 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, "poly" is "many" and "a" is "without" or "not." Which is why, at least to me, "many not" just seems like it's too much. I get that it's a joke, I guess I just don't think it's a very good one.

[–]MrE2Me -1 points0 points ago

I think if you analyze every joke with such technicality you'll realize that its just a joke.

Wouldn't panatheist work better? Polyatheist kind of sounds like you don't believe in there being more than one god. Of course, by that logic, I doubt anyone believes in every god ...

panatheist sounds like you don't believe in a pantheistic god.

Wouldn't that be apantheist?

[–]namith 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Then "apolytheist" would be someone who doesn't believe in multiple. Maybe.

Panatheist could be easily mistaken for Panentheist, which is also associated with monotheism.

We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further.

The Reasonable Doubts Podcast has a segment called "Polyatheism" where they take a look at some of the lesser known religious myths. It's super interesting.

Polyatheism is a thing? I figured if you didn't believe in one god, you didn't believe in any of them. Pagans are not atheists... right?

Dionysis, probably. They celebrated his existence with drunken orgies. His followers were almost all women in various states of undress.
