[QUOTE="Julia, post: 1946773, member: 218541"] ...originator of Universal Monotheism? Yahweh was once part of a pantheon of other anthropomorphic deities worshipped by the Hebrews who later became a nation, Israel, and devoted themselves to Yahweh/El alone. how did the religion morph from common mythology to modern theology that gave birth to the Abrahamic religions? I've always wondered.. how did this one culture's influnce, religion, extend itself and go on to virtually dominate the planet? to destroy other religions and mythologies..? why did it lead to, for instance, Christianity becomign so intent on domineering other cultures? I said "FOR INSTANCE, Christianity" - I'm not denying that Islam is the same way and it's extremism can be far worse and oh, btw, the ancient Hebrews WERE polytheistic. http://wsu.edu/~dee/HEBREWS/PREMOS.HTM [/QUOTE]
