LATEST RESEARCH STUDY REVEALS ATHEISTS FEAR THE WRATH OF GOD AS MUCH AS BELIEVERS The heads and hearts of atheists may not be on precisely the same page, according to recently published research from Finland, which finds avowed infidels become emotionally aroused when daring God to do terrible things. The research study led by University of Helsinki psychologist Marjaana Lindeman and published in the International Journal for the Psychology of Religion stated that "skin conductance level showed that asking God to do awful things was equally stressful to atheists as it was to religious people and that atheists were more affected by God statements than by wish or offensive statements. The results imply that atheists' attitudes towards God are ambivalent in that their explicit beliefs conflict with their affective response" (Lindemana; Heywoodb; Riekkia; Makkonena). Does this study indicated that atheism is "properly defined as a denial of the existence of God in the midst of full knowledge that the true God does indeed exist", as some philosophers and theologians have stated? Does it indicate that atheists have difficulty surrendering to the lordship of God due to pride issues? Reference: Marjaana Lindemana, Bethany Heywoodb, Tapani Riekkia & Tommi Makkonena .

Just connecting easy dots, we see clearly who influenced who, then add the latest archaeology which see's none of this as real and does not allow itself to become obsessed with such obvious hyper inflated mythologies as 'history'. All cobbled no later than 600bc after returning from Babylon , on this most all agree, this upsets you doesn't it? It blows your timelines all to hell...

Thousands of these madonna/child godess clay figurines like this one suggest that the early Israelites worshipped more than a single God. Looks like a maddona & child to me, no evil here we can see and you wonder why the majority of the Hebrews stayed on in Babylon? Doesn't that ever ring a bell in that cardboard head? People were probably so much happier as pagans with a godess to pray to. Those new self styled ISIL priest / zealouts that returned Babylon really must have hated such female idol worship. For this allowed for home worship, in a home temple situation. Of course they couldn't have any of that kind of liberal freedom going on which we call 'pagan' or of the country.

Cobble scripture fast, fabricate prophecy to centralize power & authority to dictate the ritual worshiping. Create fictional patriarchs to support all laws they created to control one massive money genrating altar/temple & all offerings are ordered to come there. A pay-per-blessing- sacrifice tax model that worked as good as -pay-per-view does today, creating captive audiences with assured revenues for priests & kings. It was an old tried & true model by the time the Hebrews learn to imitate & jump into it finally, the Egyptians set the gold standard for this priest/king template, which most imitated all thru the fertile crescent & Babylon. Insert Darwin models of tribal unity & a psychological glue/cohesiveness , a way also to attempt to enslave or subjugate surrounding tribes , just say the word "GOD" and you're home free. ( as we all note, the ISIL fanatics are pretty cohesive too)
