[/qb][/QUOTE]Without considering spiritual or syncretic consideration, I don't consider the different names of God in Ancient Egypt as different aspects of one person. There is many names for the unique creator god in Ancient Egypt. Each have their own story of creation mythologies (for example). Each names for god in Ancient Egypt represent the name of the unique creator god for different lineages, clans, ethnic groups scattered around AE along the Nile. One of them taking prominence when a different family/dynasty takes power in AE. Of course for Ancient Egyptians (beside Amenhotep IV), as well as non-Abrahamic religions like in modern Africa, Ancient Greece, modern Japan (Shinto), etc, there's no problem if there's many different names, ceremonies and traditions for the unique creator god. Nobody is considered pagans or infidels. Around the world there's probably thousands of different names for god. Thousand of different traditions and religious ceremonies. This human diversity of culture, religions, personalities (individuals) is what enrich the world. It's the basic practice of freedom at an individual or collective level. It should only be limited when it limit the liberty of others. In nature, the diversity (of genes, lifestyles, etc) is a basis survival strategy and a motor for evolution. Evolution, in every sense, is always done in continuity with the past. [/qb][/QUOTE]Your interpretation is completely incorrect. [/qb][/QUOTE]Let's agree to disagree on that one. :D Ultimately all those religious analysis must be backed by sources in Ancient Egyptian literature (or archaeology). The different "creation myths" we see in AE literature for example for each unique creator god have some similarities but they also have some differences. It's very interesting to analyse the differences and similarities between the various creation myths in Ancient Egypt. Around the world there's thousands of different unique creator god in traditional customs. Beside for spiritual consideration, they are not different aspect of the same god. Each religious tradition around the world have their own unique customs, creation myths, ceremonies and traditions which do have many similarities but are not exactly similar. [/qb][/QUOTE][/b] I love this dicussion by all of,please let introduce you to the expart of african religion,his name is [b]John.s.Mbiti[/b] .His most famous book on african religion is called [b]Concepts of God in Africa by John .s.Mbiti[/b].i know you will love it.
