It was common coin for a culture to accept that another culture had its own gods, spirits, ghosts, etc. Made importation of said gods into the belief system much easier. Monotheism's a lot tougher (& a lot more recent). Witness Mithraism: Mithra originated in India, was exported to Persia, then adopted by Rome, transforming in the process. <BR/>Hope that helps.Krystalline Apostatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09044558668644447375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20169168.post-1142796297065441592006-03-19T11:24:00.000-08:002006-03-19T11:24:00.000-08:00RADumb question time.
