A bit of a thought.
You guys know Greek/Roman Polytheistic mythology? Remember how the other 8 planets in the solar system are named after Roman gods?
Now, remember the freaky natural disasters going on. There've been a lot of them recently. Now, why would I bring up two completely different things? Well, I've found a funny little similarity between them. Now, I'll put up a little thing, and hopefully you'll get it. Pluto: God of the Underworld and the dead; lives below the surface of the world. Disaster I've associated: Icelandic Volcano eruption; cut off European trade routes Neptune: God of the sea, horses, and Earthquakes. Disaster I've associated: Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan. Jupiter: God of the Sky and weather. Disaster I've associated: Tornado chain in Southern US Mars: God of War Disaster I've associated: All those stupid wars in the Middle East and Northern Africa Those are the one's that have already happened. Now, If my prediction is right, and I'm pretty sure it isn't, There are some more disasters to come. Saturn: God of Agriculture Disaster: Some sort of Famine Venus: Goddess of Love Disaster: A love scandal; maybe something to do with the Royal Wedding... Mercury: God of Communication and messaging Disaster: Either a miscommunication between two nations or something bad with a Social Network Uranus: God of the night sky Disaster: I don't even want to think about it. So, uh.... yeah... I think of some weird stuff. God help us if-- oh, wait. |

This made me think.
If we ever discover a new Planet, we should name it Athena. |

You can easily relate any disaster or anything in this world to the ancient gods because ancient people created gods for basically everything. Thus I am not surprised. We are already facing a drought in the world due to global warming. There are already love scandals among celebrities and a lot of miscommunication between religions and countries. The fact that the ozone layer has got a hole can also refer to Uranus. Just think of anything in this world, and you will be able to relate it to a god.

What Time said.
In fact, I think the reason the ancients came up with so many gods was so they had a way to explain the natural disasters. They didn't know as much about nature as we do now. |

Welp. Mind blown.
This would make great copypasta. |

Damn freaky, bro. Again, though, the gods were meant to explain the disasters so..could be coincidence.

Could be?
As people have said, old polytheistic religions had gods for everything, just for this sort of occasion - if something or anything went wrong, they could just pawn it off on a deity since they lacked the scientific ability to know why it actually happened. |

The ancient people had gods for virtually anything to explain nature, phenomena, disasters, etc
I mean, the Aztec people had a god for corn. Some Indian tribes had a god of rain. The ancient people used gods to explain celestail bodies, occuring events, and in the Aztec's case, corn. They used them to explain things they had little knowledge of. |
