No leads mean no goddesses deeds were taken serious
Hello all.
I see that there are more insults to goddesses than praises.
At least that is consistent.
So there is still the unknown of the worshippers of Greek and Roman goddesses versus the 'mythological' accounts of written works by scribes of the Holy Bible translated into many languages with a Christianity slogan.
Which worshipper are known versuses the unknown without anyfollowing.
For now, that means that the goddesses of Rome and Greece were not taken serious and in the end made a mockery.
I think the OP proposed a solid question but apparently there is no solid leads except back to the original element of degrading the most widely spoken forms of worship of today in the OP locale.
that's the thing though....the gnostic Jesus doesn't look, quack. walk, etc like the Biblical Christ. He's a different person in the gnostic heresy.
Okay, so there WAS this second Christ dude. A false deity and all that stuff...He did of course somehow overlap tons of things that the purportedly historical Jesus did, had the same name, and his followers all had the same names as Jesus' followers and they must have looked identical since apparently, people "mistook" the "Gnostic Christ" for Jesus and it all occurred at the same time in the same place and.........
But...different dude.
It's so weird that the NT doesn't report on this look-alike. That must have pizzed Jesus off bigtime, some dude following him around and copying everything he did, even gathering followers of the same names. Ughhhhhhh! Somebody slap that Gnostic Christ. No wonder Jesus is never smiling in paintings of him.
I actually had a girl like this follow me around all through Middle School (although we didn't look exactly alike, both have friends w/exactly the same names, etc). ANYthing I did, she copied (just like Shlomo Christ of the False Gnostic Texts did with Jesus). I SERIOUSLY was tempted once to go in with my hair sort of half-chopped off and dyed plaid or something. I think Jesus totally should have done something like this with the Gnostic Christ. That would have been hilarious.
Okay, sorry, folks. This has all been fascinating, you learn something new every day! I personally am going to look up Shlomo the False Deity. Now he could be a good one to follow. At least he liked women.
A lot of them did! The Greek and Roman gods were depicted as notoriously horny and slutty.
And angels had sex, too.
That info on Yahweh being originally a god of war, one god among many for the early Jews makes SO much sense.
It explains a lot about the guy in the OT.
It also explains the very different feeling of the god of creation in Genesis, compared to the guy who populates the rest of the OT.

The OT was written by at least four different authors and a fifth redactor, who probably also wrote Deuteronomy, at four distinctly different points in time. This is why the language of the OT is so radically different from passage to passage and why certain passages refer to events that an earlier author could not have known would happen.
It's funny; the god, El Elyon, is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT god from Yahweh. So when you hear Christians and Jews quoting certain passages, they're actually worshipping a god other than Yahweh, who, prior to king Josiah's decree that Yahweh was the only god in existence, was only Yahweh Saboath, or Yahweh, god of the armies. If you study the archaeology of the Levant and the Near East, you'll be blown away by the influence that Sumerian, Egyptian, Akkadian, Canaanite and Babylonian religion had on the authors of the Bible. The OT is positively innundated with remnants of these religions.
And to a lesser degree, so is the NT.
