800 B.C.E. Greek and Roman Gods

The gods were created in the image of humans, warring and jealous human-like beings, idealizing their most physical and even animalistic traits.

Judaism is the very antithesis of this. Human beings are created in the image of God, duty bound to walk in God’s ways and to emulate His Divine characteristics of love, compassion, patience, loving-kind-ness and truth.
