In Zeus We Trust

U.S. currency states "In God We Trust," but it does not specify which god. It does not say "Jesus," or "Yahveh," or any other particular god. However, most U.S. currency display classical pagan temples. Most major government buildings and monuments are built in this classical style. So, to what god do we owe our trust? Zeus!

Zeus is an aristocratic tribal warrior god. Zeus is not the creator god -- he is actually in the third generation of divine powers (following Hesiod's Theogony). Creation involves manual labor and getting your hands dirty. Zeus rules the heavens by force -- taking what others have created and threatening violence if opposed. Book 8 of Homer's Illiad opens with Zeus threatening violence and torture to any god who dares oppose him.

Certainly Zeus describes the character of U.S. foreign policy better than the Gospels.
