After i began learning about prechristian deities in european cultures, i began wondering about the Jews and their pre-Biblical gods.
There are referneces to several gods in the Bible, which makes me wonder:
1) Could the entire Bible be discredited as fiction because the Hebrews mixed their polytheistic deities into Yahweh, removing any actual claim to being real?
2) Or, could the fact other gods are mentioned mean that they do exist, but Yahweh, acting as a top god, began Judaism as means to hide their existance or become more glorified?
Obviously i could be totally wrong and looking too much into this or be missing some obvious point, but i think tis interesting.
Thoughts?

Ancient cultures were very fond of their gods. Often times a culture would use a god as a 'mascot' of that culture; which has certain social applications like identifying those from a similar culture.
The Hebrews took this idea kind of literally when they wrote the bible. Other gods are typically just metaphors for other ancient societies and cultures (typically those who opposed the Jews).
The Jews incorporated ideas from other gods to make Yahweh. Yahweh is presented as having the qualities of the other gods and yet being superior to them. This is ancient Hebrew 'propaganda' lending spiritual credit to their society and also metaphorically showing their superiority to other groups.

Panbabylonism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panbabylonism
The Hebrew Bible that became the OT was copied directly from the stories in the Sumerian Mythology of the Sumerian gods.
But the Hebrews chose One of the gods of that Pantheon to be their Lord.
So they placed him above the others.
That is clearly a false form of Monotheism.

No, there is a delegation for furthering humanity, but humans are considered to only have a legal permanent residence in our solar system.

Let's assume reptoids do exist here's a question: How did such aggresive and non empathic beings managed to reach type 4 civilization without destroying themselves?
I think they did numerous times... They segtegate as well it seems... they also are arrogant to their race

bumping with half baked thought for interest
What if they're fragmented and this is only one sect of the galaxy/universe? Actually what if they're not 'normally' 'evil' but these guys are just assholes, or doing covert research for their species by... fucking with us.
>>19309843
That's an interesting point
I read somewhere that the reptoids of the hollow earth theory are "friendly" unlike the ones that disguise as humans.
It is very unlikely that they conduct any experiment on us, they've already mastered their technology aeons ago we're just their energetic food

i do not believe in ghosts.
But my friend swears nobody was there. The longer i stare at it the more weird details pop out.
What do you think? Have you seen anything like this before?
It just looks like a regular person. There's no reason for any of us to believe this is paranormal.
And I'm saying this as someone who believes in ghosts.

Ok, so I was chatting with a friend of mine today and they mentioned something weird was happening with their computer. Out of the blue, an image appeared on their desktop which they'd never seen before (image is same as the one to the left) and they couldn't find it while reverse image searching it online. Not to mention, when it appeared, their broken webcam started working again. Thoughts?
>>19309497
Nice b8
bait? I honestly wish it was. I swear the eyes on that thing are creeping me out something fierce.
But srsly, anyone have any idea where the image is from? i'd like to be able to tell them it's from a movie or something rather than say "hey it's actually a soul devouring deity from the internet".
Who was he really?
>>19309475
An alien of course.
Understand that the Illuminati are the 13 bloodline families that claim to have the most direct genetic connection to the old gods.

>Some useful tips before posting:
-If you're a reader post that you're offering readings and what information is required from the querent; same goes for trading.
-Look for their posts in the thread to determine if there's an active reader, what's needed and before posting, check if they finished reading already;
-Some readers will refuse to do certain readings - respect that choice.
-Traders should respect that a traded read will be granted, as per an agreement of a trade. Free readers have the options of picking their queries.
-Bullshit queries will get bullshit answers;
-Making an air query (not addressing a reader in particular) is possible but doesn't guarantee an answer;
-Avoid making the same question over and over and/or to different readers in a short period of time, as this may lead to more confusion than clarification;
-Please refer to the Dream General threads for dream interpretation
-Provide feedback when applicable. We're a growing community, and many readers are starting.
Let's help each other to improve.

Are there any groups of transhumanist in America that actively create post-humans or worship AIs, or upload their consciousnesses? I'm looking to help advance our species and help in the creation of a new god. A group similar to The Maxwellians of the SCP universe is what I'm looking for.

You're living in a god damn fantasy world. Shave, put on a dress shirt, and knock out some job interviews. If you were even capable of helping ''...advance our species and help in the creation of a new god.'' you wouldn't be shitposting on an anonymous image board.
Hey, Gnostic Transhumanists are into the completion of the Great Work.
To us that means finishing what the Builders left undone.
As man was made in the Garden by the Archons / Lords they left one thing out that would make us like them. Longevity.
We were banished from the Garden to keep us from the Tree of Life because the Jealous god didnt want us to have the same long lives as they do.
If you want to be like the gods you have to partake in the fruit of the Tree of Life.
To an Alchemist this is the Philosopher Stone known as the Grail. The Eucharist of the Last Supper.
Jesus wanted us to have this Eternal Life and its why he was Crucified. Because the Romans and Pagans are loyal to the Lord who wants us like mortal slaves with a life of no more then 120 years.
