The pagan debate has left me with one conclusion: you can one-shot pagans if you demand evidence of the existence of their gods LOL. It seems so simple that one would think I’m being facetious. I would take them more seriously if they talked about ancient aliens or nuclear bombs being dropped in India during ancient times (Mohenjo Daro). Alas, much like Vladimir and Estragon in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, where Mr. Godot never appears, I’m still waiting for something… evidence, not just faith-based claims. I hope I don’t pass away kicking around rocks while holding on for some justification.

Reading the Iliad or Hesiod’s Theogony is cool. You can derive many moral lessons from such stories. Peterson talks about that all the time, but with the Bible. Such myths set a tradition forward and the ethos of a people. However, I know you guys are (supposedly) not like Jordan Peterson, with his atrocious reasoning. So, please, be the serious intellectuals you think you are and give me evidence of Quetzalcoatl’s existence. If you don’t like or believe, arbitrarily as always, in that god, give me evidence of Indra/Zeus/Odin, etc. If that doesn’t work, perhaps you could provide some evidence for the Anunnaki. If they are archetypes, provide a justification for the existence of archetypes of those gods (somehow, in any way). If they are both, provide evidence for it. Convert me, please! I am all ears. If you can’t provide any justification, you have the same pitfalls in epistemology and ontology as the Christians and monotheists that you criticize so much.
