The Old Gods: Where Are They, Now?

Before monotheism swept the world like angry hordes, different entities ruled the universe. In  Ancient Greece, there were Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Ares, Athena, Hermes, Hera, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Apollo, Demeter and Artemis; The Big Twelve of Ancient Greece's Pantheon.

In the Pantheon of Ancient Egypt; Osiris, Seth, Anubis, Isis and Horus were the most important gods among I don't know how many others.

In the north, the fierce Vikings worshiped Odin, Thor, Freya and sometimes Loki, The Trickster. Ancient Americans, worshiped Quetzalcoatl, The Plumed Snake, God of Sun. There were more others. Some even older and simply lost from human memories.

From all the aforementioned gods of old, only those of Hindus Valley survived, not only in names and lore but also in ritual as well. Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma, or the Trimurti, are still worshiped today by the Hindu. Meanwhile the other gods of old, simply vanished. They lost their power over the one God that came so much later, The God of Abraham, The One who is so powerful, His power emanated from His worshipers who often caused chaos, revolution, rebellion, bloodshed in every place they chose to stay.

Unlike today, those gods were far more than epic stories back then. People have faith in them, of which were the basis/source of their live values and conducts, as well as their ritual as much as we are now with this particular God.

How did it feel like back then, I can't imagine, when some people preached that there's only One God instead of Twelves?

How does it feel when a stranger tell us that what we hold as truth were lies and that someone was witty and powerful enough to give the proof  that we ourselves felt quite sensible?
How does it feel when we realize the consequences of such revelation; that the conducts, the rituals, the moral values, the way of thinking, all aspects in life of our fathers that we are living were built upon false cause? That there's no God like we think there is. That everything we do, our fathers did, and their fathers before them, were false? That monotheism is one BIG lie?

Can you survive that? A lot of us can't.

Like the gods of old, we would vanished.
