Ancient Babylonians/Incas Saw the Same Stars; Controlled by Different Gods


Ancient Babylonians meticulously recorded movements of planets and stars before telescopes. They interpreted what they saw as their god moving them around. They did not need a telescope to know their god was real.

During another ancient time, wise and prominent Incas and Aztecs stayed up all night watching the same stars and planets. They know for certain a god was guiding them and communicating to them personally a message. Perhaps the message was, "I'm making too much rain (or not enough) because I'm angry with you." 

The Babylonians and Incas were watching the same stars but the gods guiding the stars were entirely different. In fact, neither god had heard of the other. If they had not met or knew the other god even existed how did they come to agreement on where to move? And, were these gods angry or pleased at the same things?

Of course, the ordinary Christian believes about the Inca god the same thing the Babylonian would have thought about the Inca god if the Babylonian even knew about him. The Christian and the Babylonian would agree the Inca god is fake. I need not go on about this and remind the reader the ordinary Inca would have thought the Babylonian and Christian gods were fake.

What happened to these gods when the Babylonians, Incas and Aztecs died away? Of course, their gods died at the same time.  

I'd predict all the gods of the past and the Christian God of the present had one thing in common, they told humans that humans are very important. The Christian God even tells humans he loves them when he is not killing them. 

While some native peoples of the Americas know their god to be on or in the earth, the star gazing societies understandably thought theirs was and still is in the sky. As science learns more and more about the skies and see no God there, maybe believers will be less interested in the stars and more interested to the earth's health. If God has relocated there we need to clean up the water and soil.

Maybe the "Original Sin" Should be Reassigned

Image
We can all agree most Catholic priests are fine people and not guilty of sexual abuse. What Catholics must face, however, it that their church harbors executives who are dishonest . There is an incredible story about the Argentine Bishop Zanchetta. The Pope worked with him in Argentina and they are considered friends. Around 2015 Zanchetta sent nude pictures of himself and they began circulating world wide. He also was too friendly with young seminarians and some left because of him.  Three different officials say they made formal complaints to the Vatican about Zanchetta between 2015 and 2017. Yet, in 2018, the Vatican claimed it was unaware of any complaints about Zanchetta. This might be a good time to repeat the Catholic hierarchy claims to have the sole authority handed down from Jesus to what the faith stands for. It condemns as sinners those who practice birth control, have abortions and gay sexual relationships. Handing the hierarchy this responsibility would make som

The Religious Capitol Invaders May Yet Win

Image
So much about U.S. society and religion can be learned from the Civil War and what happened afterwards. After its defeat, the South started a myth about the unethical soldiers from the North. The South fought for principles of God and states rights. The North did not. It was the South, this propaganda told the country, that had the high moral ground.  The Capitol invaders, encouraged by Trump, swallowed the myth that Biden's election was stolen. Thus, they think they held and still hold the high moral ground. This was reinforced by the cross and prayers during the invasion. Even with Trump is gone, we will see political opportunists like Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley stroking crowds and feeding the same lies as Trump. Like "the South will rise again" these gullible followers will talk of victory over the unclean. After the Civil War the South rallied around the phrase, Lost Cause. For decades, and maybe to this day, there are ceremonies remembering fallen martyrs, Re

Father Frank Pavone, the Ultimate Crook

Image
Recently, the Vatican defrocked Frank Pavone. His diehard fans are outraged. This is because he cleverly manipulated his fans and the press all the while living well from donations and, apparently, abusing some women. By making abortion the "sin" of the century, and himself the main opposition to this one sin, he himself could get away with any sin he pleased.  As the link points out, Pavone was the perfect priest for the Trump era. Trump is so self-important laws have no role in his life. He felt accountable to no one. Women were there to be had. Pavone and Trump are interchangeable.  Pavone was very successful raising money. In his mind, abortion was so important in Catholic beliefs and he was so important in anti-abortion the money he raised opposing it was his to do with what he liked. The Catholic Church, the brand name he used to raise this money, thought the money belonged to it. When he gave the Vatican the bird, it gave him walking papers. With polls showing the majo
