Who is this One God?

EL

I don't think looking to religion is the answer. Nietzsche had it half-right. We don't need religion because morality is clear and you shouldn't need cosmic threats to be moral. Live the life you want while causing as little suffering around you as you can. Talk to yourself, because God is in you. Listen to yourself without lying to yourself and not only will you have refuge, you'll have wisdom and confidence

Re, the Lord of All

Hail to you, Horakhty, Khepri the self-created! How beautiful is your shining forth from the horizon when you illumine the Two Lands with your rays! All the gods are in joy when they see you as king of the sky, the royal serpent being firm on your head and the crowns of
Upper and Lower Egypt on your vertex; she (the serpent) has made her seat on your brow. Thoth is established in the bow of your Sacred Bark, destroying all your foes, while those who are in the Netherworld have come out to meet you and to see this beautiful image.

I have come to you and I am with you in order to see your disc every day; I will not be restrained or repulsed, but my flesh will be renewed at seeing your beauty, like all those whom you favour, for I was one of those who were well esteemed by you on earth. I have arrived at the land of eternity, I have joined myself to the land of everlasting, and it is you who commanded it for me, O my lord.

Hail to you when you rise in your horizon as Re who is pleased with justice; when you cross the sky, all men see you, after your movements have been hidden from their sight. You display yourself from morning till evening on the day when celestial navigation with Your Majesty is successful; your rays are in men’s faces, and fine gold does not know them, pigment does not report them when you illumine the lands of the gods, and it has not been seen in writing; the mountains of Punt disclose Him who was hidden. You did it alone when my mouth was opened, and your shape was upon the primeval waters. I will travel just as you travel, and there will be no ceasing for me as for Your Majesty, not even for a little day, for you have passed through seasons of millions and hundreds of thousands of moments; when you have spent them you have gone to rest, you have also completed the hours of the night, and you have regulated and completed them according to your regular custom. The land becomes bright when you reveal yourself in your place as Re when he arises in the horizon.

You appear in glory in magnifying your beauty, creating yourself; you mould your own flesh. One who fashions but is not fashioned, as Re who shines in the sky. May you permit me to reach the eternal sky, the country of the favoured; may I join with the august and noble spirits of the realm of the dead; may I ascend with them to see your beauty when you shine in the evening. Your mother traverses for you the Lower Sky when you are placed in the West, and my arms are upraised in adoration at your setting, for you are he who made eternity. I worship you when you set in the Abyss, and I set you in my heart which is not inert, O you who are more divine than the gods.

Firstly it's spelled "Amen" and it is the Egyptian god Amen/Amun who is synonymous with Zeus/Anu/Yahweh/etc.

IS-RA-EL
Isis, Ra, El the "Holy Trinity"

No one can serve two masters.

He did have it half right. Looking to Christianity certainly wasn't the answer, but then you have the mortality problem, among others, which becomes more ominous the fewer real world problems you have. If you're not struggling to survive, you're somewhat just waiting for death, and if you have no religion it's nothing. Usually pain then nothing. He didn't exactly live happily ever after.

But tough minds need a good reason to believe in fairy tales. I got lucky and found one. tl;dr there are gods (multiple) and it's been strongly implied there is at least the potential for people to reach an afterlife.

TRUE, El is God

All languages and names used to refer to the same Godhead.
If you're asking about personalities within said Godhead well, that's a different question.

>>41034161 (OP)
The One who sent the Logos: the Eternal Goodness.

Interesting and plausible. Some also say the holy trinity is Anu and his two sons Enlil and Enki. i cant say either way, idk.
