Jupiter/Zeus's influence on government affairs?

Post by Liberator »

Do you if you believe that Jupiter/Zeus exists that he still has any power or influence over government? Since he was regarded as the deity also incharge of government and state affairs of humanity? With Augustus/Octavian and Julius Caesar being his spiritual "descendants" that he sent to bring order into Rome? Being the one who is the patron of Order and Law too? Would he like the current system that exists? If not then howcome he has not caused it to dismantle yet? I do not really follow Jupiter/Zeus but give your thoughts? Would he favour any political ideologies or form of government? Why is it that hardly anyone worships him anymore these days despite the freedom that has allowed the worship of other deities to continue again?

This may be a superficial observation, but God (stern bearded patriarch in the sky) and country seem to be in the same ballpark as Zeus as a symbol of divine influence in government. Not to mention the eagle.

Don't see as many eagles these days. Maybe they've been symbolically replaced with reaper drones as a symbol of governmental might.
