Including, in the worst of possible cases, a former Arch Angel fallen from Its throne, which situation deteriorated for (power) political reasons into the state of affairs you put forward. There is of course much more to be said of this, as for example the theory of Tuth Anh Amon being the one who instigated all this talk about there being just one deity. Never mind the archeological finds of ancient pottery hailing both Jahweh and his wife. Not to mention the bible itself which talks about Jahweh dancing with his many brethren in his fathers (i.e. El) throne room. There is much good to be said about that religion as well as much bad. Like about any human invention. The power political play as you pointed out I classify to be part of the bad. Personally I prefer thaoism or buddhaism. Or indeed Baruch Spinoza's interpretation as in his Ethics. Roelof PS the capitalization is choosen for its effect as to putting things into perspective. Nothing more. So don't be offended; I'll burn in hell anyway. If it exists that is. And if not, what are you getting upset about? P2S isn't this a topic for chat?
