Reincarnation was actually from Persia, and was based on the immortality of the soul. From there on, you get the soul transmigrating from one body to another, which Plato took over.

Pythagorianism is fascinating by the way. Imagine where civilization could have been if it had been the dominant religion of the west. Instead we got Christianity, or ancient Qanon. Jesus predicted this and trust the plan. How fucking depressing

After the invasion of Samos by the Persians, he was driven into exile in Babylon, where he apparently became interested in the magi, the Zoroastrian astronomers. Zoroastrianism believes that Ahura Mazda created the universe as an orderly place, ad we can study this order, or asha, hence their interest in math.

Your view of history is flawed if you believe being an obstacle to something is a bad thing. Obstacles provoke thought and action, they are what make change possible, you should affirm all tragedies and weird things of both past and present, so you can struggle for a vision of the future with the passion of an artist.

[...] As for the earth, the Pythagoreans do not believe that it sits motionless, nor that it exists int he centre of the revolution of the rest of the world. Instead, they maintain that the earth revolves around this central fire and is not included among the most impressive or important parts of the cosmos.

Its not so impossible to imagine the flavians both invented xtianity and persecuted it but let it live (or else why wasn't it utterly annihilated?-) as a way to transfer authority from the cult of ceaser to the christ cult. One idol to another. Read the texts for heaven's sake:

"You shall have no other gods before me".- Exodus 20:3; "Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God. Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary." -Leviticus 26:1-2
And yet these idolatrous heractics have their cult leader saying:
"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" - John 14:6; "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.'" - John 11:25
Here is The Glorified Reckoner's warning about false prophets: "If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place, and he says, 'Let us follow other gods' (gods you have not known) 'and let us worship them,' you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul. It is the Lord your God you must follow, and Him you must revere. Keep His commands and obey Him; serve Him and hold fast to Him. That prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he preached rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way the Lord your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you" - Deuteronomy 13:1-5.

I'm the anon who compared it to monotheism. At least grant that its philosophically monist with theistic exotercisms.

The vitriol in this thread is so sad. Christcucks are truly the bane of the earth. They call actual monotheists hypocrites when they're the ones who are idolaters.
