>>542312I was blown away when I realized Ba’el the big bad boogie man that all the schizos were sissyfitting about, just meant lord. Which there are many, including YHWH and baelzebub.
Turns out Moses prayed to Baelzebub (the lord of the flies) to summon locusts.
And YHWH’s first mention in hieroglyphs was mocking the sound that the sacred Jewish pack mules made. Which lines up with the Hindu obsession with sacred cows and golden bulls.
Hebrews were bandits that lived by dried up river beds, that would jack merchants crossing the river system.
It makes sense that they would be resented and it makes sense that they could use that resentment as leverage.
Sort of like how Americans turned Yankee Doodle (redneck homo) into a battle cry.
IDGAF, this is the definition of a revelation to me. Even if I’m just hearing it from nerds on YouTube, it’s still far more interesting than corporate sponsored kid shows.
With that said, I don’t take these myths anymore seriously than I take sci-fi/fantasy. I do take the people that believe in it seriously.
