Re: Freedom of Religion
the hebrews were never monotheists. they were henotheists. there may be any number of gods, but i like this one.

Re: TIME, SCIENCE, MATHS, HISTORY & THE HEBREW CALENDAR.
this is completely off-topic, completely undemonstrated, uneducated bible drivel.
and
Now that's a new one. Henotheists - as in believing in hens?
no, more uneducated ravings.
dictionaries aren't hard. they name things. it's amazing. you like naming things.
henotheism: the worship of one god without denying the existence of other gods.
the middle east of prehistory was filled with regional gods, tied to the land. case in point, when the man came down from philistia and decided to worship the god of abraham, he took home soil from israel. he couldn't worship the god of israel unless he was "in israel" or rather "on israeli soil". why do you think abraham's god brought him to a place where he could worship him? it wasn't because israel was some oasis in the desert. it's still fucking desert. but it was the land of that god.
no matter what your pastor says, "you shall have no other gods before me" doesn't mean money or sex or chocolate or "whatever you might love more than jesus" it really means other gods. they were absolutely convinced of a full pantheon of various levels of supernatural creatures. believing that there may be other gods but you only worship one is henotheism.
also, stop saying maths. it makes you sound stupids.

Re: Freedom of Religion
to god-and-demi-gods monotheism
i don't consider that monotheism. but then i don't consider modern christianity to be monotheistic, either.
