Q&@
IN YEROESJALAYIEM
AS A KIND OF BIG SYNAGOGE
WHERE PRIESTS CLAD IN SNOW-WHITE ROBES
WELCOMED DEVOUT PILGRIMS, MELODIOUS CHOIRS
SANG THEIR PSALMS AND INCENSE PERFUMED THE AIR?
But in reality, it looked more like a cross between a slaughterhouse and a barbecue joint!
These pilgrims did not come empty-handed! They all brought with them a never-ending stream of
sheep, goats, chickens & other animals, which were sacrificed at god's Altar & then cooked & eaten?!
Those psalm-singing choirs could hardly be heard over the bellowing & bleating of calves and kids!?
Priests in bloodstained outfits cut all the victims' throats, collected the gushing blood in jars & spilled
it over the altar. The perfume of incense mixed with the odors of congealed blood & roasted meat,
while swarms of big black flies buzzed just about everywhere (see for example, Numbers 28, Deut 12!,
& 1 Samuel 2). A modern Jewish family that celebrates a holiday by having a barbecue on their front lawn
is much closer to the spirit of biblical times than an orthodox family that spends the time studying scriptures
in a SYNAGOGE?!! Theist religion, such a biblical Judaism, justified the agricultural economy through new cosmological
myths. Animist religions had previously depicted the universe as a grand Chinese opera with a limitless cast of colorful actors.
Elephants & oak trees, crocodiles & rivers, mountains & frogs, ghosts & fairies, Angels & Demons - each hàd a róle ìn the cosmic
Opera. Theist religions rewrote the script. Turning the universe into a bleak Ibsen drams with just two main characters: man & God. The angels & demons somehow survived the transition, becoming the messengers & servants of the great gods ~~~~~~~
