Now, I've officially accepted myself as atheist but still diving into history is fun. Every time I dive in to Biblical history...the less I find anything worthy of hanging onto. God's word? Holy book? Doubtful.
Looking into the origins of Jewish religion, there are pagan roots to the God of Moses and Elohim, the Canaanite pantheon. Okay, well what about Jesus, then? You mean the books about his life that were written 50 years after his death by people who didn't even know him. The whole thing is what Disney did to Grimm fairytales and what Grimm Bros. did to the actual folktales. Can we stop now?
I used to think, "Egh! Seer stones! That's kinda witchy, ain't it?" making a sort of subconscious contrast to dignified religious tools from the Bible. No. No, those were pagan and "magic" too. They're not sophisticated at all. It's like when you find out your favorite music artist doesn't actually sing like on the album; that the track is a Frankenstein stitched together product of all the good clips of singing that artist did in the booth. Everything is a lie.
