Pitiful to watch you keep trying the same terminally ill cut n pastes over & over again with the same precise demented dogma, almost proves a mechanistic determinist reality of the world 100%, for this can only come from physical neurons firing weakly on "repeat cycle". Its a mental delusion, like Texas abortion legislation that promises "better health care" for all women, when we know full well the true ruse of an origin story here. Its about making noise & winning elections for them down there dumb ass, no moral high ground here just "old schtick" for Texas politics and few nationwide here in the US are really paying attention. This is how the Tea Party became more unpopular & distrusted than atheists & Muslims starting two years ago approaching the same level of suspicion as the Republican Party itself. Perhaps you just haven't recieved the memo either, just how low in popularity the so called "Christian Right" has sunk in recent years matching the above as well? Consider the memo delivered, now crawl back into the slime.

Here we have Hebrew fertility GODDESS figurines which have been found all over Israel and half of 822 discovered were found right inside Jerusalem right up to 600BC. These just short distances from the fabled imaginary temple of Solomon. So wait fundy~boy, they were worshipping fertility godesses in Jerusalem 800yrs after Moses was supposedly in Egypt? members.bib-arch.org Try to get your real time lines straight, apparently you haven't read your bible, the worship of one god doesn't really take root until after 500bc and probably as late as 300Bc when they threw all the stories together. Nothing to do with God giving anyone any direct ancient promises or covenants with a fictional Abraham. But all to do with a group of tribal kings (and their priests) trying to consolidate power, making it all up later, including the "Egyptian" Moses. (as we could have predicted in cultural evolutionary theory) Between the 10th century BC and the beginning of their exile in 586BC polytheism was normal throughout Israel; [8] it was only after the exile that worship of Yahweh alone became established, and possibly only as late as the time of the Maccabees (2nd century BC) that monotheism became universal among Jews. [9] [10] Some biblical scholars believe that Asherah at one time was worshiped as the consort of Yahweh, the national God of Israel. [9] There are references to the worship of numerous Gods throughout Kings, Solomon builds temples to many Gods during his reign and Josiah is reported as cutting down the statues of Asherah in the temple Solomon built for Yahweh. (Josiah's grandfather, Manasseh, had erected this statue. 2 Kings 21:7) Further evidence includes, for example, an 8th-century combination of iconography and inscriptions discovered at Kuntillet Ajrud in the northern Sinai desert [11] where a storage jar shows three anthropomorphic figures and an inscription that refers to "Yahweh … and his Asherah". [12] [13] Further evidence includes the many female figurines unearthed in ancient Israel, supporting the view that Asherah functioned as a goddess and consort of Yahweh and was worshiped as the Queen of Heaven.
