Yes. I know of a former Christian who now prays to them. He had quite a strange spiritual journey.

The Jews Christians and Muslims are polytheists. They just believe in a supreme God. It's like saying you only believe in one person in a Monarchy... He's the king but he's got his family and his nobles and their families and their vassals and their families and their servants and their families and freemen and their families and craftsmen and their families and their slaves and their families... etc.
Don't forget Christian God rules over 7 Heavens, Purgatory, Reality, and Nine Hells full of 9 Orders of Angels and countless legions of demons, all kinds of monsters, extradimensional fiends, and of course us humans and all the food critters he so kindly gave us. Not to mention Mary the Virgin and Jesus the Wizard and the Holy Ghost and Mary Madelene and their Magical Daughter and John the Baptist with his magical birth and all that, the line of divine Patriarchs spawned of the Lord Adam and his lady Lilith and his girl friend Eve and their bastard children and Lilith getting mad and leaving him for his arch rival Satan the extra shiny leader of the inner circle of magic beings.
Monotheism is a scam.

wow IF I get it right you guys think that zoroastarianism isn't like christiansy and islam ?
well it is the creator (the 1 god) is ahura mazda ahriman is saitan other gods in zoroastarians belif like zurvan , anahita , mithra (mehr) and .... are not gods they are called Yazata it's the same as christian angels with the difference that the yazatas had tempels
that y I think zoraastarinism is a very very good religion since it alway kept things simpel and easier for people of that. islam is sometimes harash and most christians are onley christians in name they don't even know how bible looks like no offense

As far as I'm concerned monotheists do not worship anybody but the one true god. Believing is not the same as worshiping, not the way you understand it anyways. By acknowledging the existence of other spiritual/supernatural beings like devils, angels, prophets etc, you're only believing in the Almighty's power and ability to create these things. I'm not going to start praying to genies when I start believing in them.
Re: is there any one still beliveing in the old ways in anceint egypt?
interesting, could you tell us about how you came across them?
Re: is there any one still beliveing in the old ways in anceint egypt?
By reading books on egypt and that

I'm sorry, but then you're not believing in the Ancient Egyptian religion (which itself is an umbrella term for various changing beliefs). You're "believing" in some cockamany made-up version of it that in all likelihood has nearly nothing in common with the actual religion since we don't actually know how most of that religion worked.
The idea that you could just pick up a book and start believing in a religion that's been defunct for nearly two millennia is ridiculous.
Some day I'll actually write all the reviews I keep promising...
Re: is there any one still beliveing in the old ways in anceint egypt?
how so?
it's just as likely as any other view, including the view that there is nothing.

The thing is, a lot of the information about these ancient religions is lost. Even with the ones we know a lot about- Greek, Roman, and Egyptian religion- the data is still quite fragmentary. Reconstructionism requires a very rigid sense for historical accuracy and research, which is difficult when it comes to this subject.
Of course, believing in the gods of ancient Egypt does not necessarily translate into being a reconstructionist of ancient Egyptian religion. And that's fine. I think Manco is wrongly assuming that they must be one and the same, and the OP is new at this and so doesn't know all the fine details of this subject.
I myself believe in the gods of many pantheons believed in by ancient peoples, and I worship some of them. But I do not claim to be reviving a religion similar to those of the ancients. Because this isn't the ancient world, and the same paradigms do not work, in addition to the simple lack of archaeological information of those religions.

Thing is, the human aspects of faith and fake it until you make it are very powerful.

Do you find theres more evidence for egyptian deities than any other kind?
Or do you just want to believe and in effect you threw away critical thinking to strengthen your romantic and nostalgic feelings towards Ancient Egypt?
Just wondering what makes people tick on these subjects
Re: is there any one still beliveing in the old ways in anceint egypt?
Yes i find that there's more evidence about this relegion and it seems more easire to follow
Re: is there any one still beliveing in the old ways in anceint egypt?

One thing I always found logical about Ancient Egyptians was that at least they prayed to the sun... it seems much more logical to pray to the sun than to pray to god.

Claudius Gothicus,
And they call Christians crazy. So where are those marvelous gods today? I mean don't you guys get it that when Israel was taken out of Egypt it was another sign, shadow and symbol of the saving grace of God just as the Ark of Noah was. In the stories told of Jesus the one important instruction to His followers was that they should never look back if they wanted to be His, why?
Because in the figure and type that the Exodus proved was that sinners always yearn for what they had and the tribes were the perfect example of what Jesus was talking about. In the act of conversion God changes the nature but doesn't eraze the memory for obvious reasons and it is the memory that continues to tempt the convert back to the pleasures of his or her past life, hence Jesus' words.
No, the offshoots of Ninus or Nimrod have long gone in the shapes and forms they were adhored then to be replaced by more modern false gods married to more sophisticated approaches that still greatly attract the unbeliever and tempt the new believer in much the same way. Oh, and they still have their great highpriests to propel whatever it is that attracts the easily led whether inside religion or outside of it.
