The Revolutionary War was a huge part of American history. The revolution in Russia, which triggered the overthrow of communism, was an important part of Russian history. The revolution of Christianity from the concepts of the Greek gods was also an important part of religious history. Christianity and the Greek gods have many comparisons and contrasts, and these contrasts led Christianity to be revolutionary. The concepts of Christianity and the religious concepts of the Greek gods are comparatively similar. To begin with, in both religions, humans believe that there are speakers for their God/gods. The gods do not speak to mere mortals. These people are the priests who teach the ways and desires of the gods. Some are soothsayers or prophets, as they were called in Greek times, who predict the future. For example, Tiriesia, in the plays Oedipus the King and Antigone, was a blind prophet who could see the future and predict it to people. In Greek times, prophets had a high social status. Furthermore, people believe that their God or gods are above all human ranks. They believe that one God is above all and listens to people when they need help. This is why humans pray to God/gods for forgiveness. The two religious views also believe that the God/gods watch over their followers. The God(s) decide before or after a person's life on earth where the person will live in the afterlife, depending on the person's values. They both believe that one would go to a bad place, called Hell or Hades, or a good place, called Heaven or the Elysian Fields. Likewise both believe in an eternally chosen afterlife. The ideas of the followers of Christianity and Greek religions are also very different. To begin with, Christians believe in an omnipotent God. This is also known as monotheism. Christians believe that God gave the world his only son. When that son was put to death by a human, he told the people that he would die to forgive their sins. This shows that God and His son were both caring and forgiving beings. They are respected by followers of Christianity. God helps human beings. Humans pray to this God for help and forgiveness. People also go to church to learn about their religion and to pay homage to God. The church is thought to be the house of God. This is why people dress well and try to look nice when they are guests in the house of God. God and Jesus are thought to live in heaven. The Greeks, however, are very different from the Christians. They believe in many gods. This is also known as polytheism. These gods are evil and torture
