Thread 17838594

This is Ishtar, the Mesopotamian goddess of love and war

Her nature is duality
She is known for being able to change genders at will
Her priestesses engage in holy prostitution
Her priests dress as women
Babies were buried alive under her name

And get this:
Her symbol is the Rainbow

Sounds familiar?

>>17838594 (OP)
Would so rape this demon

>>17838594 (OP)
Ishtar is Egyptian you dumbass, her mesopotamian name is inanna
And she's a aspect of mans anima. She's ok, just don't worship her

Yahweh commands genocide, rape, and human sacrifice, he is a demon

Otherwise it's just muh feefees

Questionable. There is no primary source evidence of this, just the accounts of Greeks.
>Her priests dress as women
Not correct.

Not correct.

Not correct.

>>17838652
No. You're asserting a moral standard by saying "If a god does things like human sacrifice it's a demon." Then I point out that your own god commanded human sacrifice, thereby showing that your position is self-defeating.

>>17838658
I'm referring to herem (the ban) whereby humans are ritually sacrificed to Yahweh. He even become furious when Saul doesn't sacrifice the king of Amalek so Samuel carries it out.

she isn't

>Babies were buried alive under her name
no, that was more of a levantite type of sacrifice that would have been done to Ba'al and the earlier iterations of YHWH
not a sumerian/babylonian thing

>Her symbol is the Rainbow
not, that one of YHWH symbols
her symbol was the star of Ishtar (pic)

Criticizing op

When you make assumptions, you make asses out of both of us

>>17838666

Nigga, God was angry that he didn't kill the King who made so many people suffer

It wasn't about sacrifice. It was about justice

>>17838636
Not just magicians
The devil makes pacts with anyone who wants fame, fortune, and power at the expense of salvation.

Ishtar is the Akkadian name for her dumbass.

>>17838713
Somehow, internet Christians seem to be obsessed with demonising Semitic societies that arguably practised child sacrifice.
All while worshipping a Semitic god themselves

>>17838594 (OP)
>sounds familiar?
no not at all. What are you trying to tell us exactly?

>>17838713
Human sacrifices were ALLOVER the world
Isaac's sacrifice stands out as the only instance of rejecting, if not downright condemning it

The better question is what other pre-Christian faith rejected it

>>17838672
God is not a miserable bloodthirsty monster that commits all measure of hypocrisy in action or words. As far as I am concerned, the religions slander God unconsciously by attributing themselves and their general conduct to the image of an INCOMPREHENSIBLE PERFECTION. That is almost as vain as the proposed moronic entities that would rebel against such a supreme being. Even Christ said only God is good.

>>17838904
>only instance of rejecting
the greeks myth of Tantalus was about how much the gods disliked human sacrifice and punishing a king who tried to sacrifice his son to the gods
Also the version were Isaac is spared is a later one with the original he likely being sacrificed, given that Abraham leaves the mountain alone
Human sacrifices also were also banned in Zoroastrianism and buddhism they were banned in pagan Rome and was already in decline before the formal ban(being even use as propaganda for why the barbarians were inferior)
And the christian didn't stop human sacrifices, as the autos da fe were ritualistic killing of humans to appease their god and even the method of killing(burning) was chosen due the sacrificial connotations of how offering should be made according with the bible

>>17838594 (OP)

These are things observed among white Scythian polytheists. Not in Ishtar or Near Easterners.
Sacred prostitution is common everywhere. Chinese and Japanese even engage in it. You should focus on the porn industry instead of an Assyrian goddess.

No, Yahweh wants Amalek put to herem (the ban) because they opposed his chosen people generations earlier. There is not one word said about the actions of the then-current king of Amalek. Read the books of Samuel.

>It wasn't about sacrifice. It was about justice
Dedicating the killing of something to a god is a sacrifice, Yahweh demanded the killing of the Amalekites as a dedication to him, i.e. a human sacrifice.

If you don't like that example, just read the book of Joshua, entire cities of human being put to herem (the ban) as an offering to Yahweh, a human sacrifice.

>>17838904
>The better question is what other pre-Christian faith rejected it
There were pagans who were vegetarians for religious-moral reasons. Nevermind human sacrifice, there were pre-Christians who were against all blood sacrifice and even killing animals for food. That's far more moral than anything in Christianity, nevermind Old Testament Yahweh worship. See Ovid's Metamorphoses book 15.

>>17839014
Tantalus was not about human sacrifice, and you know that
Zoroastrianism's belief in a battle between good and evil resulted into many purgings. In 150 AD, they launched a purge of Christians, Jews, and Buddhists in preparation of the holy war

And Buddhists had ritual suicides, which count as a human sacrifice. They also found writtings in Tibet detailing acts of torture and human sacrifices,

>>17839039
Do not swallow the hippie cool aid
Every single one of those peaceful beliefs aren't really as peaceful as you were told

>>17839035
The fact that they were put in front of God is less important than the reason for them to be placed there

They opposed Yhwh because they don't want his righteous judgement. Yhwh gave them time to repent. They continued to do their sinful ways and thus, judgement was given

Everyone people point fingers at the attrocities in the Bible, they forget the fact that God keeps on giving them decades and even centuries to repent

>>17839088
>Tantalus was not about human sacrifice, and you know that
yes it is

>Zoroastrianism's belief in a battle between good and evil resulted into many purgings
still no sacrifices, unless you want to consider crusades and pogrons as humans sacrifices too

>And Buddhists had ritual suicides
mostly as form of protest, not as religious ritual and the self mummification is consider to be more of a myth than historical fact

>They also found writtings in Tibet detailing acts of torture and human sacrifices
From pre-buddhist periods with no evidence of human sacrifices after the adoption of buddhism in large scale

>Do not swallow the hippie cool aid
what "hippie cool aid" ? we have historical evidence of pagans adopting vegetarianism for religious reasons and rejecting all forms of blood sacrifices also for religious reasons
No one is trying to push that all pagans were vegetarian or that it is a religion of peaceTM

>Every single one of those peaceful beliefs aren't really as peaceful as you were told
christianity included

>>17839098
>God keeps on giving them decades and even centuries to repent
doesn't matter because ordering the mass rape and genocide is an atrocity that simply cant be justified with "muh godderino was angry because those people don't praise him enough"
it's the same logic that muslins use to justify murdering and raping christian and other religious minorities

Do Christians hold any ethics whatsoever that isn't defined by buttex? That's literally all the religion has been reduced to in the 21st century. It might as well be a new denomination.

>>17839108
Tantalus was about betraying the gods
And no, they found headless corpses in Zeus' temples, so no. They never rejected it

I can give you Zoroastrianism as I don't know much about it

No, Buddist self-mummification was found in Japan. India, China, and Himalayas

You can name whatever veggie peace culture you want. In end, their practices will speak for itself. Both Shinto and Tao had evidences of burying people alive and cannibalism.

>christianity included
Christianity is NOT peaceful
Our duty is to spread his word. Whether they accept it or reject it is up to them

>>17839113
If your lineage was given a thousand years to repent, but didn't. Then your seed is corrupted to the core.
As such, in God's eyes, he is merely preventing Baby Hitler

Note: The fact that you were killed for your corrupted seed doesn't mean that you will end up in hell, though
God can see your soul and this is what he will judge you with

you got this lie from simon who got it from his rectum

>>17839179
>Tantalus was about betraying the gods
by sacrificing a human to the gods, a thing they clearly disprove
in the myth

>And no, they found headless corpses in Zeus' temples, so no. They never rejected it
almost as if the culture developed away from it and the myth as created to push the notion it wasn't acceptable to the gods any longer

>Buddist self-mummification
Myth and the existing buddhist mummies were made after the monk died, not a result of some suicide ritual

>You can name whatever veggie peace culture you want.
I'm not talking about cultures but distinct religious sects and cults

>Both Shinto and Tao had evidences of burying people alive and cannibalism
like ?

>If your lineage was given a thousand years to repent, but didn't. Then your seed is corrupted to the core.
Not buying into some retarded cult is not evidence any corruption nor makes rape and murder acceptable

>he is merely preventing Baby Hitler
by pushing actual hittlers in the world

The more you talk about your god more he looks like just some narcissistic demon obsessed in having people submitting to him and more than happy with human sacrifices and any type of atrocity towards those that don't

>>17839323
He never "sacrifed" shit.
He tested the gods to see if they truly know everything

They never developed "away" from it. There are plenty of historical documents detailing how the Greeks would perform human sacrifices before battles to appease the gods of the underworld.
Even up to Roman times, it was said that they buried a man and a woman alive before engaging in the Battle of Cannae

And of course, we have the Sibylline Books which does speak of the necessity of human sacrifices in times of great distress

Other way around
Acts of self-mummification was *glorified* first.
They call for practitioners to do it and they celebrate it as a step towards enlightenment
The fact that some wanted to have the glory without the sacrifice is irrelevant.
Their culture upholds suicide via starvation as a virtue to uphold and THAT. IS. VILE

>like ?
Hitobashira. China had no name for burying people alive but their Lingchi torture was done specifically to prevent the person from being whole in the afterlife.

And lastly, before you try and say anything about God, please do not forget to look at Jesus first
He already came in the flesh. No need to make assumptions over his nature

>>17839244
The difference is the reason for being there
Pagans sacrifice people to appease the gods
Hebrews "sacrificed" criminals so God can judge them. And it was done humanely. Pain was never prolonged

>>17839401
>He never "sacrifed" shit.
>He tested the gods to see if they truly know everything
that's just in the current version of the myth
there are many textual clue that point for the original version been of Isaac being sacrificed and that the angel intervention in the last moment being a latter addition

>There are plenty of historical documents detailing how the Greeks would perform human sacrifices before battles to appease the gods of the underworld.
no, the historical records and archaeological evidences points towards human sacrifice being more common in earlier period and then decline as the time passed, with general culture moving away from it

>it was said that they buried a man and a woman alive before engaging in the Battle of Cannae
and it's a major outlier in archeological and historical record

>we have the Sibylline Books
no, we don't. those are lost
also they were not a thing in the classical Hellenic religions and cults, but a product of the roman period and even then the romans banned human sacrifice by law

>Other way around
no, the myth of "self mummification" as a practice monks did in the path for enlightenment is a myth that was created long after the mummies

>Their culture upholds suicide via starvation as a virtue to uphold and THAT. IS. VILE
no, they don't see the act of 'suicide via starvation' as a virtue
Not more vile then the glorification of early christian ascetic like Simeon the Stylite who instruct people to put the worm eating him alive back into his body
The mortification of the flesh to a suicidal point is a pretty recurring thing in christianity
And that's not entering in the orthodox sects that practice self mutilation

>before you try and say anything about God, please do not forget to look at Jesus first
Jesus is not the same character as the OT god and even the OT god is just a patchwork of different iterations of what israelites though of their national god in different periods

>>17839407
>My human sacrifice good

>>17839526
It doesn't matter what version you use. It is NOT about "human sacrifices"

There was no "decline". If ever, it increased as the entire Coliseum was a sacrifice for the gods. The opening ceremony of the Coliseum involves forcing prisoners to partake in humiliating and excruciating rituals before being burned in a pile
One instance was that of a woman who was raped by a donkey and then fed to a lion
One was a man cut open as reenactment of Prometheus
And another case involved prisoners in fine garment forced to dance and then the gladiators would come rushing to kill as many as they could
And so on and so forth.

Human sacrifices was not an outliner. It was just replaced with another and did not end until Christians took power.

Self-mummification were recorded as early as 380 AD where monks like Bo Sengguang had themselves mummified and their bodies preserved in lacquer
It is unknown whether it was done by themselves but it is known that monks uphold their corpses to this day because uphold their suicide as a path to enlightenment

>Jesus is not the same character as the OT god
FALSE!
He is exactly the same person
The only difference here is that Jesus was active only for 3 years whereas the OT was a compilation of books that spoke of 1800+ years of conflict

The genocide of the Ammorites were declared 800 years after their first mention (they were first mentioned in Genesis and were not punished until Deuteronomy)

Guess what happened to the Jews just 800 years after they crucified Christ.

Same God, same level of patience, and same unstoppable wrath. Fear it
