If it did happen the story has been elaborated... But some stories in mythology are myths for a reason..

Yes I'm sure he did its called age! See the thing with stories is they comprised of long periods of time. You read the story and you automatically assume the change happened in a second! Maybe it did maybe it didn't. That still doesn't mean that we as humans have that ability and we don't with good reason! If everybody in the world were beautiful and dazzling well we just would be able to appreciate ugly anymore!

Anyone can believe anything they wish to believe. But a belief does not make it true! If you want to know about Greek Gods, read Homer. He was a blind poet, and he "blended" actual events with Gods and Goddesses. But the Gods and Goddesses were "beliefs"; not reality.

Arren, you could sit in a garage all night and call yourself a Chevrolet but it won't make you an automobile.
Shapeshifting does not exist and just because you believe otherwise will not change that.
Myths are not true stories, that's why they are called myths. They are stories meant to teach about different things by telling a tale about it to illustrate the point of the story. They should never be taken literally.
(And you aren't a "pantheon", that's a group of Gods. Perhaps you meant you were a Pantheist?"

Arren, no, you will not be "reported" for stating your opinion or belief. What Lark is telling you is to use your common sense. You want "proof" that shapeshifting is impossible? Keep trying it! You will soon have "proof". You are a Human Being. You cannot be, and will never be,anything else. Now, grow up!
Wow. When i hear shifting, i think of a term used to describe what happens visually and physically when one goes deep enough into trance, or otherwise achieves an altered state of awareness. To have made a post so long regarding shape-shifting is kind-of scary. I do support the energy body idea though. Makes sense why they are immortal.

This thread is long because we are trying to convince Arren, and others who will read this thread, that his beliefs are not the truth. To close this thread I will quote some words of wisdom from Jesus:-
"Forgive them! For they know not what they do!"
