Why would gods be beholden to other gods? That doesn't make much sense does it.

LONG FINGERS

Looks like she's checking your dubs to me

She's gunna bust a cap in your ass, OP

She's doing a variant of the Moriya gang sign.

There are 3 fingers instead of 2 in kanako's case

She's definetlty doing it.

serious answer: kanako's might be an attempt at a mudra, the vedic custom of codified meaningful hand signs that you see in all sorts of icons
now why would a shinto goddess be doing a buddhist sign... it's syncretism i ain't gotta explain shit

Uhm, gays, Im too schizo to like 2hu anymore

>>154759
Nonsense. The next step is understanding the 2hu's based on shinto/buddhist deities are still actual deities being worshipped. Even if the actual amount of practitioners is small, Kami like Takeminakata, Yasakatome, Toyotama-hime, Tamayori-hime, and Matara-jin are quite well known. One could say they've adapted to the times. That is to say, you should have more faith.

A few weeks back I learned that the heart symbol all the idols do is actually Baal worship.

I love symbol rabbit holes. Another thing I learned about Baal is he's associated with Nimrod. Who of course built the tower of babel. You know how Jesus's birthday is celebrated on the 25th of December even though in the Bible it says it was spring/summer or at least warm outside? (shepherds aren't in the fields during winter). Guess who was actually born on 25th of December. That's right: Nimrod.

If you go down the symbol rabbit holes you find out a lot of stuff like that. For example, the Apple logo being an Apple with a bite taken out of it. Guess what they sold their first computer for: $666.66. They claimed they sold it for that because Woz liked repeating numbers.

I hear the commercial for Babbel language learning software on the radio everyday. Don't have to be a genius to figure out what that's referencing. See the tower of power being done everyday by people on TV. Or the one eye thing. Or all the girls doing the peace sign even though it's really "V for victory" and means the exact opposite.

I've always heard that if you're a God and people forget about you then you just fade away. Adapting to the times and portraying yourself as cute girl is pretty smart.

Symbolism is more powerful than language since it can be understood even by those that can't read or speak. If a picture is worth a thousand words than a symbol must be worth millions of them.

>Peepal leaves were used in artistic depictions by the Indus Valley civilisation: a heart-shaped pendant originating from there has been discovered and is now exhibited in the National Museum of India.[1] In the 5th–6th century BC, the heart shape was used in the Roman world to represent the seeds of the plant silphium,[2] a plant possibly used as a contraceptive and an aphrodisiac
>The first known depiction of a heart as a symbol of romantic love dates to the 1250s. It occurs in a miniature decorating a capital 'S' in a manuscript of the French Roman de la poire
I freaking love debunkings and fact-checkings. Baal hyping BTFO

Even in Levant? It's rather warm throughout whole year there.
Many Christian holidays share days with big festivities of other religions of that time because those holidays were meant to be a direct competition or were good occasion to meet in secrecy (because others would be preoccupied with their own ceremonies).
The curches in Anatolia were the most influential in shaping early Christian rites, so a lot of Assyrian/Babilonian/Persian things in terms of rituals and symbolism are shared (and this is separate from Babilonian influence on Iudaism, which indirectly influences Christianity again). Even Hittites' fragments can be traced. Whether it is influence (adapting both form and meaning from other religions to fit Christian use), subversion (adapting form with a changed meaning to propose alternative and undermine opponents) or a need to present one's piety with limited cultural imagination (people growing in other religions know that such and such things are tied to the divine and with no other idea how to present their devotion they straight up take form and meaning without even adapting beyond changing the object of devotion) can be and is discussed.

Even if they were in the fields during mid-winter (they weren't) that still doesn't explain why people celebrate a prophet's birthday on the exact same day as someone that proclaimed themself a God. Which is pretty frowned upon in the religion.

Of course, the true reason that date is chosen is because of the winter solstice festivals. Which celebrate the Sun being "re-born". Which is also worshiped as a God and has been for a long time.

Yes, it's a source aggregator, which is even better.
