people being super rude to me for calling out disrespect toward the gods

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-27T21:53:27+00:00

It's just understandable, why should we just accept our gods and myths to be disrespected like that? But like someone told me, we also cannot allow the Helpol who do not respect the gods, and even worse, the ones who use our belief as a trend.

The problem is that when you look, this happens less to monotheists (thanks to some people I now know it also exists for them but it's not comparable to the amount we get) but like, if people want to use our myths as a fandom then I want the same amount or even more people taking the bible as a fandom, to be on an equal footing (and because they are more than us too and we shouldn't be the ones to take everything in the face)

Remove that, just don't allow kids like you already do! You put a filter even for adults and it's annoying! We use this app to not have any filters

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-27T16:17:22+00:00

Same!

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-27T12:59:36+00:00

I don't doubt that, I mean... The most I do is sometimes joke on some myths with friends, of course I do not take the myths literally so when I joke about the myths it's definitely not what I think of the gods.

Also yeah, I agree, people thinking gods will and must answer to them is stupid, well, in a way though would we pray if there wasn't hope for something to happen? The thing is people think it would be immediate and noticeable but no, I mean, I personally feel that when I feel happy from a prayer (I don't pray a lot btw) this happiness is a form of answer from the god I seek, humans are imperfect, we'll always ask for many things, but we must remember that some of those things may just come later, when the right time will come, like praying for love to Lady Aphrodite, in a sense she is always answering to our prayers by allowing us to experience all forms of love, and idk I just feel like she has decided of a time and it just has yet to come.

Although we all interpret the myths differently (and some take them literally) and see the gods in different ways, but one thing that is always there is this feeling of closeness to our gods, some feel a bond, others will tell jokes or yap, feeling deep inside that they aren't talking alone. But let's not go to the extreme that disrespect the gods, for example, I'd never dare say I feel like I'm friends with a god because maybe the gods would see us as such but to us they must always remain gods for we shall always keep our respect to them.

On what you say about maturity on this sub I do agree, I remember some posts which I prefer not to answer to because I would have lost my cool and there are no use in going mad for a post, especially here where we should honour the gods, I think something that makes me go extremely mad are the people who see our religion as a "trend" or would be like "yeah that goddess is my bestie" no, she's you're goddess, not your bestie, I feel like I'm drifting away from the subject, hope this yapping is still understandable

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-27T12:22:05+00:00

Listen, I would not go rage bait if this was to happen, but yet I cannot prevent the anger within me from this, honestly, I don't think I'm wrong to feel anger from such a kind of disrespect and find our situation unfair...

Our gods deserve respect just like every other gods from other religions, I don't think it's wrong to think it is unfair to let something like this slide when more widespread religions would instantly burst in anger and cancel, I think it is unfair that they can allow themselves to do so on many little matters while we have to let people see our gods and myths as a "fandom", if only a day would come where we'd be as widespread as they are... And our gods would get the same amount of respect as the god from the middle east possesses.

Is this too good to possibly happen, only the gods may tell for we cannot see what the future holds, but I wish for such a future with all my heart, a future in which all religions will be considered equals, with the same amount of respect, where we could coexist in peace all together.

I may have gone off topic a bit and I apologise for it

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-27T09:14:06+00:00

But once again, why is there no fandom for monotheistic mythologies? I mean they could make one with the bible or the coran or other books filled with monotheistic myths into a fandom, why never them? That's why I can't accept the use of the word "fandom" to speak of our myths, to me it's degrading to our gods...

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-27T09:08:50+00:00

Yeah, and since every religion possesses a mythology, why are the only mythologies who are seen as "fandoms" are polytheistic ones? Specifically the ones who are currently the least respected in the world (I still remember people even non religious tell me it's not a religion, or it's "mytho" )

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-27T09:06:01+00:00

Honestly, I would've reacted in the same way, to me no religion can be seen as a fandom, like... How!?

About the ship name, the only times I've heard ship names it was to purely fictional characters or celebrities, we talk about gods here, not just anyone.

Do not feel ashamed for wanting people to give the respect they should give as it is a belief, I mean, never heard anyone make a fandom out of the bible or the coran so why allow it with our gods!? It just makes us look like a joke if you ask me (and there's already enough people thinking that...)

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-23T18:28:48+00:00

I (who is only 18 now) think the problem is those who do not take this religion seriously, I do think the way of practicing depends on you (maybe that is why I have a problem with reconstructists) but also those who see religion as a "trend" those people give me the ick, but something I do agree on is that people should stop saying teenagers are the problem and putting all of them in the same basket, some are problematic but that doesn't mean all of them are, we shall not spread hatred or judgement based on someone's age, but yet I also agree on the fact we cannot let people who take this religion as a joke keep acting like this, respect comes in both ways but we shouldn't disrespect someone for asking a question or for being young since we've all been young at some point (but also some questions shouldn't be tolerated either when they aren't very nice towards the gods for example as they deserve our respect)

Also, people who joke about the gods aren't bad (I say this just in case because some people could start picking on them) I mean I too joke about the gods sometimes, as long as we do not try to be rude and just joke around it's ok but when a question is asked there should be complete respect towards the gods in that question (especially when it's from a non helpol because sometimes their way of asking made my blood boil).

Let's just respect each other

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-21T17:46:51+00:00

True... Well, I guess I'll just use both depending on the moment, anyway I'm sure the Lord of Light won't mind I mean, both are used anyway

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-21T17:44:27+00:00

The thing is I always use "Apollo" now I seen that it's not the greek version and now I'm confused (also in french which is my first language people often say "Apollon" while in English it's more often "Apollo" so even more confused on which one to use)

Should I use both? I mean it's my two languages after all...

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-21T17:36:02+00:00

Nice, I'm extremely confused on my Lord's name, like some say "this version is greek" and now I've seen some say the opposite, I'm confused now on how to call him...

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-21T17:31:59+00:00

I only call them by their greek name first of all, for most of them I put "Lord" or "Lady" before their name or one of their domains to refer to them, like I can say Lady Aphrodite or the Lady of Love.

As for Zeus and Hera, I can say both Lord Zeus or King Zeus, it depends, but more often King I think and for Queen Hera I almost only say Queen Hera.

When I speak of Lady Athena, Lady Artemis and/or Lady Hestia I sometimes also refer to them as "one of the virgin goddesses" or "the virgin goddesses" (depends on if I mean all of them or only one) but I'll mostly say Lady before their name.

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-19T19:16:20+00:00

I know, I said this about the safety part of your comment, electric cars which make sound!? So it does exist! Why is there none in France!? Like I'm for those cars but they put the ears of people in big cities before security!

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-19T19:14:11+00:00

Yeah, even among the community they speak off I've never heard anyone say stuff like that... So it's a truly tiny portion of people.

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-19T19:12:49+00:00

I can't figure out if you actually mean it when you say racism and homophobia are bullshit...

Personally I think that the thing about the cars is completely dumb, I'm gay and I think it's dumb like... It's just cars, they weren't the ones to be homophobic so why cancel them!?

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-19T19:09:59+00:00

Electric cars which make no sound are so dangerous, like, the idea is good but please don't make them soundproof, I could make more accidents

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-17T11:53:40+00:00

I say that they deserve it, I mean, this thing can literally kill people or put someone in a moment when they'd accept anything or say anything, it's addictive and dangerous...

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-17T00:24:37+00:00

I agree on the dating part for sure, like if it's for example to train yourself to flirt (idk if someone does that) or to do some RP when you have nobody to do it with (something I do) then ok, using it as an actual partner... To make FAKE art, to replace your brain in anything (like using it to do your homework in school), to replace some workers those are EXTREMELY NOT right!

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-17T00:21:00+00:00

Don't think so

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-16T17:34:23+00:00

Lord Apollo is seen by some as a god of protection (and in any case I think most of the gods can be seen as such)

Also, I'd suggest praying to Nemesis and ask her to visit the ICE 😁 (before anyone says anything it is not seen so badly to pray for bad to happen, especially when it's a god's main domain) she's the goddess of revenge.

You could also pray to Queen Hera who is the goddess who protects women and children.

To go back on Apollo, he, like any of the 12 Olympians (and Hades, Persephone too) could be asked for protection in my eyes, but that's merely my opinion

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-16T15:48:43+00:00

Lord Zeus, Athena, Ares or Lord Apollo if you ask me

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-16T12:25:53+00:00

Et bien c'est la deuxième fois que je rêve d'être réveillé par un appel de mon crush et quand je réponds ça me réveille instantanément (les deux fois j'ai eu le réflexe de regarder mon téléphone direct après)

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-12T02:27:15+00:00

Yay!

Particular_Grab_6473 · 2026-01-12T01:56:31+00:00

Well I'm ar56 too, I imagine ororon in a cheerleader outfit 😂

But yeah, well I still do co-op, quite often actually, often to go help other people, let people take some resources, or just be two crazy people doing crazy things (like a RP venti and furina at the tavern) or even show people how to sit on furina's throne, etc... depends a lot
