Religion for Breakfast is a good YouTube Channel for exploring the subject of religion from an academic point of view. I just enjoyed his quick take on Proto Indo European "Sky Father" video.

Did you know that the famous #finnish profanity #Perkele ("god damn") refers to the thunder #god Perkwunos?
He was prayed to in times of #drought.
Every time it was meant to rain, the #deity had to fight a serpent who was holding back the #water.
In the #battle, thunderbolts were thrown by him which often set trees (especially oaks) on #fire. His name means "lord of the oaks".
His similarities to #Thor/#Donar are no coincidence.
