Good point. Drag forgot that before the Roman Empire converted to Christianity the Greeks practiced Judaism
I know you're just a dumb troll, but I'll respond for the curious people that might read this. Alexander the great(who was also Greek and reigned between 336-323bc, so shortly after Epicurus was born), had one of the largest empires in history, reaching all the way to India. Alexander's legacy includes the cultural diffusion and syncretism that his conquests engendered, such as Greco-Buddhism and Hellenistic Judaism. So yeah. Hellenistic is another way of saying Greek, as in Greek Judaism. Which is where the god thing comes from, I guess.
So you're honestly telling drag that this is a genuine quote from Jewish philosopher Epicurus?
