Topic	Yaweh, the biblical god of the Old Testament was actually a human hating demon
synth_real 04/01/20 2:35:27 AM #58:	Damn_Underscore posted... Yeah I'm gonna need a source on that. Jewish Rabbis in the last 2000 years were not afraid of astrology like someone who wants Harry Potter banned or something like that. They had different opinions on astrology (this is more so ~1000-2000 years ago than today). Some rejected it, some said it was valid but not to be practiced, others said practicing it was OK. Today it is basically universally rejected outside of Orthodox Judaism and even there it is largely rejected. But the point is that they didn't ignore it and they knew about it. So why would they have differing opinions on astrology, and why would all of them believe that God is greater than astrology if the entire Bible is just derivative of astrology? Because they didn't invent those beliefs, the ancient Hebrews were actually a splinter Canaanite culture who elevated what was a lesser Canaanite god to the level of the One Above All in their beliefs and then managed to drive out the other Canaanites. They clearly weren't afraid of astrology because they based their fucking holy books on it, but much of those astrological beliefs were older than them. The original Zodiac (as far as we can tell) was actually invented by the ancient Sumerians, they didn't use the exact same constellations (though some of them are pretty similar) but they did come up with the idea of dividing the year up into 12 sections and naming each one after it's dominant constellation. Through cultural exchange, these ideas were spread out across the Middle East and Mediterranean where they became at least a partial basis for multiple other religions, such as the ancient Greek pantheon. As ancient Israel and Judea were historically occupied by a number of different nations with differing beliefs (the Egyptians, the Hellenistic Greeks, the Roman Empire, to name three big ones) they did end up absorbing at least a bit of those other cultures beliefs and practices into their own. --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board.
