A valuable summary of what Epicurus thoughts on the Gods.
I think there is wisdom in his view that what the majority of humans have believed is worth considering further - and must have some underlying significance / basis in reality.
I have recently written the first of a 2 part series on what people mean by the word God.
Feel free to take a look
(I’d be interested in your thoughts / feedback)
Thanks again
(It’s good to be able to read the thoughts of Epicurus with the first coffee of a new day)

This is truly great, Campbell. I appreciate the simple explanation of things profound.
Is it just semantics to include "the idea of the divine" with "the opinions of the many?"
