Are you saying bible writings were the first writings? I really didn't catch what you meant other than that myths could predate writing. But I correct that both writing and the myths predate biblic religion and nothing oral can be biblic becouse Bible means "book". In addition most religious...

I think that the even better argument against the existence of Gods are religions who define Gods irrationally and anti-logically. The more irrational the expectations of what God would be like, the less chance that God exist. For example all human religions not based on reason and logic are...

Love this topic. All moral questions are irrelevant for the existence of a diety becouse there no reason to believe that dieties must be moral beings. For there to be a deity in the first place. I must be controlling cosmos or at least and minimally be controling of a small part of cosmos...

I think...the jews were the Hyxos who worshipped and bringed in the nomadic desert god Seth to egypt. They wfere send to the valley of death were egypt sent its unwanteds included deseased. Moses was a surving priest of the egyptian monothism around Amon-Ra cult. He recruited the Hyxos and...

The later Etruscian view was the best. Everyboby goes to hell, or a torture-filled after world. The good and the bad. Nothing can save you, So live life to the fullest. Isn't that fun? Before they believed everyone went to a paradiac afterlife. what happened to make them so cynic...

The people of Sodom comes in mind. We can't accept that a whole city was evil and deserved destruction. Also weren't the people who lived in Isreal before the Jes murdered becouse God wanted them to have the land it was good? What about the story of poor Job being tested by the accuser? "Do...

Nice and interesting. Feel free to start that forum. How is that relevant? The old baby & goddess and father? I said that Ashur and Ishtar are Adam and Eve becouse the stories of adam and eve in the guarden parallel Mesopotamian legends were Ashur and Ishtar walk in a guarden. And this...

The No 2 Judaism developed from Zoroatrism which was polythistic religion to begin with. The morality of Judaism is from Zoroatrism while the Monothism is from Moses and via him from the Egyptian monothism that was forbiden. The no 3 I support this becouse the Egyptian God Seth was imported...

Also think there is trace of antique racial biology here and old predjudice. Every kindom supposed to orginate in tribal gods and therefore Judaism were created by one true god. All the people of other nations were hated and created by demons and their kings were though to be demons. And...

Gilgamesh and other cultural heroes fit in nicely. Giants of various sorts are mentioned in other cultures. The kings and or Queens of various middle eastern cultures where through gods through legacy or more simply gods. The Goddess Tiamat is responsible for much woo of the Deluge in it's...

Well Babylonia had a huge tower looking temple and it "suppressed" (or made them feel so) another culture:Persian and many others(jews). In other words it tried to unite all the cultures through conquering and the story symbolise it's mutli cultural hybris. Also the Babylonian whore was probably...

I agree with the orginal poster. Thats one reason for being a satanist. Almost any sensible, cultural and personally important activity could potentially offend a religious person with enough support to forbid it. Many religious persons do outright demand services and beheavors as a part of...

My personal thought. The Nephilim are polytheistic Gods of a religion worshiped before the deluge and the deluge sent them out of bussiness. The deluge was a war between gods of the flood and nature against the Gods that developed into the christian religion. I think the angels and the...

Since I now Understand that you meant spheres of cultural influence this make the question and topic more specific. I would just like to add or rather clairify that I mentioned the Indo-European invadors that went passt middle asia and imported indian mythos directly to Celtic and germanic...

Moral relativity. In one age you can kill you mother and in another the same culture could say something like "we always given our mothers respect full funerals". In one age a God is a killer and in the next he is forgiving. You shouldn't let this affect your faith. What really change is...

I think this is flawed argument and that it is a totally wrong and an dangerous view on human nature but at the same time I think you do have the right to have another opinion. Which is why we should people have different and personal usages of "Ego". Personally I hold the unconventional...

Feeding the poor is opposite to true humanism. Humanism is the philosophy that humanity is in the centre of the universe and that we must develop. humanism is about human feelings and needs. The human nature is intuitive positive and the source of culture and ethic which should be further...

Why all of them? Some faiths must have come from Europe and much of the ancient European faiths were influenced by the Indo-European invasion that doesn't fit in. Also much of greek culture was started by the Phoenixans or some such name. A sea traveling trading people the invadision destroyed...

I have no problem with Judaism that is relevant. It is a fact that Judaism and Zoroatrism demonized gods of other religions. Hinduism and the ancient greeks has done similar things so that is nothing new. I just wanted to say that I think Eden was in Mesopotamia and why. Sorry for the bad...

The double egged sword. It means the double flooded kingoms of Mesopotamia that was ever guarded against nomadic invadors that Moral dualism orginated here, with the first gods of pure good and pure evil as separate gods and godesses instead of neutral forces. The evil gods and godessess every...
