We have been watching the brilliant Lucifer and all the Biblical characters are there, Satan, Mazikeen, Lilith, Cain, Eve, Uriel and other named Angels and demons and then suddenly up pops God's wife and i was 'God had a wife?'
As i have a man of the cloth literally on my doorstep i went and asked him and got the vague answer that in the old Jewish texts, when God was going by the name of Yahweh, they ruled side by side as a divine man and wife and her name was Asherah and there were statues to both everywhere in ancient times but for today Christian's and Jews there is only God, so what happened?
'Mentions of the goddess Asherah in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) are rare and have been heavily edited by the ancient authors who gathered the texts together' according to an associate professor of Bible and archaeology at the Pacific School of Religion so it seems that she was edited out of the Bible when the Christians began taking bits and pieces from the Jewish text for their own religion, in some cases referring to her as a sacred tree in an effort to hide her although references to her did have to be edited out in later versions of the Bible because they missed a few references such as in Deuteronomy 33.2-3, when she is said to be 'at his right hand his own Asherah'.
After being written out of the Christian Bible, to further kick her further away from her ex-husband, she became morphed into a Pagan goddess and worshiping Pagans was a huge no-no and any statues to her had to be destroyed because of the whole False Idols bit of the commandments.
Obviously, today's Christians don't want to know that their top banana has an ex-wife knocking around and definitely don't want to acknowledge the 70 kids they supposedly had together, preferring to concentrate on the 1 Godly offspring which was a result of making a 14 year girl who was betrothed to another pregnant because that is so much better apparently.

the way you describe the evolution of the religion kinda sounds like science...
> evolution explains everything. no. damn it.
> aha, the big bang explains everything. uhhh, no.
> relativity explains everything! no.
> yee haw, quantum explains everything, oops, no. shit...
i don't really know why you think believing in a God is so vile while you so readily believe in science, other than you say religion causes all wars.
except, we know religions don't start wars, people start all wars and until the atheists (lenin, stalin, mao, castro, et al), many used religion to drive fear in support of war - kinda like leftists use economic fear and envy to establish centralized governments so we can all have the wonderfulness of cuba, venzeula, russia, china, north korea...
and, we know that religion didn't create nuclear weapons, military aircraft, bombs, tanks, missiles, rockets, automatic weapons, battleships, destroyers, etc. no, those things came from science...
combine science and leftists and you get a billion dead, give or take a few million...
but great post!
I don't think Religion is vile, i just find religious people very, very strange. No mention of how the story of your God has been edited down the years then? Strangely, it still has the bits about putting to death certain people though, wonder why that bit has been deemed ok to keep but not the fact that your God had a female partner? Hmmmmmmmmm.
i find most people strange. my wife says it best, "everybody is normal until you get to know them".
my prior comment on this post just compared science to religion and how both have evolved over time (that includes editing...).
i have no idea why? do you? maybe you should ask jewish, catholic, greek, and roman scholars instead of me... when one considers how much material is in the old and new testaments, and how much if it is controversial in the eyes of leftists, one might also ask why you elected to focus on "putting to death certain people".
btw, that was in the old testament. per the few "scholars" i've spoken too, jesus didn't invalidate all the parts of the old testament, but jesus did change the rules for attaining everlasting life and that is by accepting jesus. before jesus, to attain ever lasting life one avoided "breaking the law" which is still the way of jewish peoples. christians are the ones that have decided to put their hope in jesus instead of the old testament laws.
