does voats christians have any thoughts on gods wife? (AskVoat)

submitted ago by theoldones

becuae i nerd the fuck out on information, i remembered something interesting

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asherah

Asherah is identified as the queen consort of the Sumerian god Anu, and Ugaritic El,[1] the oldest deities of their respective pantheons,[2] as well as Yahweh, the god of Israel and Judah.[3]

what's voats thoughts on this diety, and whether or not she'd be a "live goddess" in the current day?

the implications of this you gotta understand, is that if true, semitic religions were definitely a polytheistic pantheon at one point and not a monethestic pantheon, which is two entirely different types of religion from the ground up

Sumer is a great mystery.Even after Sitchins mistranslations.

a source i read this on wasn't too reliable, but was (probably) quoting someone who was, so something i sort of know on them is:

"because clay tiles survive longer then sandstone buildings and statues, sumer is gone but its writing remains. problem is we don't know cuniform too well, and there's very little physical evidence to link to what we can't translate now. large portions of the language (and its contained information) are lost"

or something like that, paraphrasing

Its our oldest origin story it seems. It is critically important to know where you are coming to be able to know the direction you are headed to. I am sure the basement in the Vatican holds enough evidence to understand it properly.

that's probably the least of the knowledge the crinkly bastards sit on.

The problem is they would rather destroy everything than let you in there.
