The Book of Inanna
What I mean by undeniably obvious is there is no rational way of Biblically defending or refuting the charge that Yahweh has an obvious contempt for women and sanctions terrible treatment of them, that today would be illegal in any country that isn't governed by a brutal totalitarian Dictatorship guilty of extreme human rights violations.
First though, I'd like to discuss the Queen of Heaven he vanquished, who was so much smarter, less violent, more rational, kinder, not a bigot like him, and more generous than he is!
Now, arguably "Queen of Heaven" can be condemned on a Biblical basis because the Prophet Jeremiah said not to burn incense to the "Queen of Heaven", and those who did so receive the wrath of a jealous Yahweh, but the Bible isn't true obviously, because it contains so many verses that say the opposite of what other verses say, and two statements that say the opposite thing is true, can't both be correct. That's actually a fact that I don't think can be argued otherwise without looking foolish!
However, let's just say the Bible didn't contain so many conflicting statements that say the opposite statements are fact (and give opposite accounts of the same situations). Should we then have basis to conclude that we can't invoke Inanna, (the name of the original Mesopotamian, Assyrian, Babylonian Goddess) whose worship dates at least as early as 4300 BC (Thousands of years before true Monotheistic Yahweh devotion).
You could simply tell God, "when I invoke Inanna, I'm simply asking the women in Heaven to bless me or pray for me." Where does Scripture condemn that? Scripture in the Old Testament does say not to contact the dead , but that was in context of "do hold seances or summon Spirits from Sheol", because you don't know if you are summoning good Spirits when you do that.
Invoking Inanna would not qualify, because the name means "Lady in Heaven" or in some translations "Sky Lady",
which means there is no Seance or summoning a spirit. Also, from a Christian perspective, there is nothing in the New Testament that condemns prayers to the dead, and in fact the poor man Lazarus was at Abraham's bosom after death, and Abraham was interacting with the rich man in Hades. Jesus was seen interacting with Moses on Mount Tabor. Those slain for the Lord in the book of revelation were interceding for earth and calling for God's vengeance.
Yet the Bible says in one verse that the dead cannot think. Interesting, the Bible says in multiple other verses that they can. Like when Samuel appeared as a ghost to Saul and told Saul he and his family would soon join him in the world of the dead.
This means the Bible is misleading and says one thing is true and earlier says the opposite is true, when that is virtually impossible for both statements to be true. It means the Bible contains lies and falsehoods and cannot be innerant!
So no, there is nothing wrong with invoking and paying homage to and enshrining the deceased, blessing them, and praying for them, and it isn't unbiblical. Scripture says we are all one body in Christ, connected to the true vine that is Christ. We are the branches and when a person dies, it's obvious from a Biblical perspective that they go on living and do not cease to be a member of the body of Christ, so we are all connected to "Inanna" the "Lady(s) of Heaven". The book of revelation speaks of a woman in the sky , standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Devotion to Yahweh alone didn't begin until the 9th Century BCE and Abraham didn't exist until 2,000 BC, so devotion to Yahweh was he was just one of many Cannanite gods before the 9th Century according to some sources.
It wasn't until the 9th century some say, that he started getting jealous and wrathful and exalting himself above every other God, or I guess that began with Moses in 1300ish and especially disrespectful and hateful was he towards the female Deities and the female gender as a whole. He sanctioned and encouraged treating women worse than I would treat a cockroach in my apartment.
Forcing women to marry their rapists and countless marriages where the female is forced to marry a guy she doesn't want to and becomes his property. (Leah managed to escape one of those such marriages where Divine decree said she should marry Esau, and she had to deceive Jacob and make him believe he was marrying Rachel to make the marriage work. From her the Messiah would descend , but she had to rebel, deceive, and break God's rules to make it possible).
I would rather be burned at the stake or crucified than be the property of some guy I didn't like and sleep with him and raise his kids, especially if he was a rapist, but I don't know, I'm not female so...sound worse than death ladies? Or how about God telling Israelites to kill everyone but take Virgins as sex slaves?
Could you imagine the trauma of having your Mother, Father, and non-virgin or male siblings killed, and the sorrow you'd be going through, then be raped and used as a sex slave in the name of and by the command of a God who is called so "Holy, blameless, perfect" that you can't even speak a word against him without getting stoned to death.
God even commanded children to be stoned to death for using his name in vain or disrespecting their parents!
But Yahweh offered few rights to women, Scripture says women shouldn't talk in Church and obey their husbands. The priesthood in the Old Testament was all-male, women while experiencing menstruation Yahweh said were impure along with everything they touched, and sanctioned kicking them out of the house during those times.
Yahweh also is the reason women go through pain or die while giving birth. Scripture says God cursed women because of Eve and multiplied her labor pains. Yahweh's enemies are often referred to as females such as his ultimate and greatest enemy being called "Whore of Babylon, Mother of harlots, mother of prostitutes and all that is filthy".
Yes, Yahweh is more worthy of the electric chair than Ted Bundy, because his kill count is higher, his tortures were more gruesome, his war crimes and genocides the worst per capita as any ever seen.
Yes, I'm protesting what is evil, the epitome of evil, the epitome of sick, the epitome of unjust, corrupt, and I have seen the division, confusion, and hatred the Bible stirs up first hand. It's extremely toxic!
Believing souls went to a place of eternal suffering and a lake of fire I lived with for years in a constant state of sorrow and fear. Countless millions must live like that working out their salvation in fear, trembling, guilt, shame, and the trauma of believing that every day , there are people going somewhere to be tortured forever and ever and ever...
If an Antichrist reigns over the earth, I admire him for his courage in standing up to Yahweh, and see why he hates God and "utters all sorts of things against the most high". I hope and pray he is compassionate and rational.
(I've met the Devil too. He's a sweetheart when you aren't blaming him for everything and stomping on his head. I mean, I don't trust him or pray to him. He's a criminal too and murderer. But I don't see how Yahweh is any better, and everyone steps on the Devil and blames him for everything, it's no wonder he's vicious. If you keep kicking an abused unloved puppy, it just becomes more violent and vicious, and Isaiah said God creates evil and disaster, so it's his fault in the first place.)
Yahweh, unlike the Devil, has no excuse for his cruelty. His streets are paved with gold and he lives in a palace , with more lovers and people treating him like a celebrity and Caesar of the Universe, praising him like it's beyond Beatle mania, while children starve to death and he refuses to lift a finger to help , or offer instruction to a confused world by simply leaving a message in the sky every now and then or providing burning bush Pentecostal experiences.
How about the lonely people who need a friend and God leaves them feeling like he just isn't even there. How about the homosexuals the Bible condemns repeatedly that can't choose to be heterosexual. I've known more than one gay person who lives a lonely life begging God incessantly in Jesus name for healing of their sexuality and the gift to be heterosexual.
God obviously wants them to be gay or he would grant the grace.
The topic though shall be mainly covered in the next post with examples of how I received far more grace, signs, and coincidence from praying to Inanna, "Ladies of Heaven" than to God, who only gives me bitterness, aridity, and boredome.
I'll also discuss Tengri , my Heavenly Father, the sky God and the sky girls who exercise authority over him, his house, and possessions.
....hold on.....the best is yet to come...
