The Joy of the Scripture

Did you know that the Bible is a hoax created by Jews to enslave non-Jewish people? Neither did I until I read Andrea's careful debunking of the Bible. Then, I tried to see if most of her claims about the Bible pan out. And sadly, most of them don't. Damn.

The list is endless and it is so glaringly obvious what was done. Now, we all know the Nazarene is fictitious. The Jews themselves know it and don't believe in him as he is a lie based upon some 20+ crucified "saviors" stolen from Gentile pantheons around the world.

Though Andrea cites no source for this, I'm willing to bet money it's probably based on The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors by Kersey Graves, probably by way of Acharya S, whom Andrea lists as a source in her reference list as the bottom of the page. Graves has some interesting points to make (there are a lot of interesting similarities between Jesus and other left-death-rebirth deities) but his thesis is, at best, an extreme oversimplification and at worst, an extreme distortion. A summary for his weaknesses from an atheist point of view can be read here and one from a Christian point of view can be found here.

Jewish monotheism was stolen from Egyptian Akhenaton ... The Jewish creation was stolen from the Egyptian Creation.

The first claim is a popular theory, but an unproven one. Supporters of the theory point out the Jewish scripture claims that the Jews were slaves in Egypt for years, so maybe they got the idea from the eccentric pharaoh, Akhenaton. Is that possible? Sure. Likely? Ehhhh... There are plenty of obstacles to proving this theory one way or another, the biggest being that we don't know much about either Moses or Akhenaton. (In Moses' case, because it's hard to prove that anyone other than kings from that time actually lived and in Akhenaton's because the later Pharaohs thought of him as the black sheep of the family, and not in a good way.)

As for the second claim, I suppose that's a matter of opinion. If you want to talk about the similarities between Biblical and pagan accounts, you would be on firmer ground pointing out the similarities between the tale of the flood in the Book of Genesis and the Babylonian, Enûma Eliš.

The "firmament in the midst of the waters…" was stolen from the Egyptian Creation.

The word given for the waters in Hebrew ("Tehom") is a cognate of the Akkadian, Tiamat, and Andrea focuses on this? Wow, talk about missing a golden opportunity.

(As a side note, I'd really like to know what the Babylonians, Canaanites, and Hebrews had against the sea. Whether it's Tiamat, Yam-Nahar, Lotan, Leviathan, Tannin or Rahab, sea divinities are evil, chaotic and destined to be destroyed by bigger stronger gods.)

Adam and Eve were stolen from the Egyptian Geb and Nut ... Adam and Eve's punishment and loss of immortality were stolen from the Mesopotamian story of Adapa.

The latter claim (about Adapa) is right on the money. The former, not so much. I'm failing to see the similarities. In Egyptian religion, Geb and Nut fell in love, but failed to consult their grandfather, Ra, for his permission before they got together. Ra got mad and ordered that they be separated. There was no myth about them being expelled from a Garden or being created from dust or the others' rib.

Eve coming from Adam's rib was stolen from the Epic of Enki and Ninhursag: "My brother what hurts thee? "My rib hurts me" ANET, 41. Ninti who's name means "Lady of the Rib" cured Enki's rib.

Hey, this is actually right! And it doesn't come from Egypt! Will wonders never cease...

Jewish Samson was stolen from Heracles.

The most frustrating thing about this damn website is that no one ever elaborates. I guess I'll do it for them. Both Heracles and Samson were really strong, died pretty nasty deaths and had no luck with women. There's more, of course, but since this is one of the more sane things JoS has to say on this page, I'll leave it at that.

The putting out of his eyes is based on Oedipus.

That's not a bit of a stretch, that's a humongous stretch. Oedipus gouged out his own eyes with his mother's brooch when he finds out he killed his father and married his mother. Samson's eyes were put out by the Philistines with hot pokers. Other than losing eyes, I'm failing to see (hahaha, get it?) many similarities.

The pulling down of the pillars was stolen from the Egyptian tale about Re-Herakhte

JoS sites a source for this one, and luckily for me, it's a text in the public domain. I was able to download a copy for free to see if what they say pans out. The verdict: It doesn't. T. W. Doane compares the pillars that Heracles completed to repent for killing his wife and children with the pillars that Samson pulled down in the temple of Dagon. I searched the entire PDF for "Re-Herakhte; its correct spelling, "Re-Harakhte" and "pillars" and came up with zilch. Where does this story come from?

The Jewish story of Jacob and the Ladder was stolen from the Egyptian Funerary Rituals for the deceased King/

The ladder of Nut, Maqet, was used by Osiris to enter the heavens and was placed in tombs for protection. Jacob's Ladder, arguably, was a ladder to the heavens that Jacob saw while fleeing from his brother, Esau. The symbolism of the ladder is disputed, through only the most literal of fundamentalists seem to interpret it as an actual ladder.

Jewish Moses was stolen from several Gods and kings, depending on what stage of his life story:
* Sargon (the birth and abandonment in the river, being rescued by royalty, etc

I could write a book on the amount of heroes throughout myth and modern fiction who were of obscure birth, or grew up without the benefit of parents. Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker anyone? Not unusual. At all.

The wanderings in the desert were based upon the Sun-God Bacchus as seen in the Hymns of Orpheus.

Bacchus was not a sun god. He was a god of agriculture, wine, grapes, ritual madness and ecstasy. The gods of the sun in Greek and Roman myth were Apollo and Helios/Sol.

Orpheus' hymn to Bacchus goes something like this:
Bacchus I call, loud-sounding and divine,
Fanatic God, a two-fold shape is thine:
Thy various names and attributes I sing,
O, first-born, thrice begotten, Bacchic king:
Rural, ineffable, two-formed, obscure,
Two-horned, with ivy crowned, euion, pure:
Bull-faced, and martial, bearer of the vine,
Endued with counsel prudent and divine:
Triennial, whom the leaves of vines adorn,
Of Jove and Proserpine, occultly born.
Immortal daemon, hear my suppliant voice,
Give me in blameless plenty to rejoice;
And listen gracious to my mystic prayer,
Surrounded with thy choir of nurses fair.

I don't see the similarities. Anyone?

The Hebrew stint of "40 years in the desert" claimed in the Jewish book of Exodus and the subsequent "40 day and 40 nights" wanderings in the desert of the Jewish Nazarene were stolen from:
"The struggle of Set and Horus in the desert lasted forty days, as commemorated in the forty days of the Egyptian Lent, during which time Set, as the power of drought and sterility, made war on Horus in the water and the buried germinating grain....These forty days have been extended into forty years, and confessedly so by the Jews."

The struggle between Set and Horus lasted for eighty years, not forty days. Those so inclined to learn more about the similarities between Osiris and Jesus should read this web page and this paper, which was, strangely, written by a famous Christian minister. So much for the JoS' contention that Christians want to keep this under wraps at all costs...

Jewish Joshua was stolen from the Egyptian Deities Shu and Nun.

Joshua (or in Hebrew, Yehoshua) was Moses' successor and the hero of Jericho. I've never heard of a deity called Nun, so I'll guess that JoS were referring to Shu and Nut. Shu was a primordial Egyptian god of air, while Nut (daughter of Shu) was a goddess of the sky. Similarities? I dunno.

Jewish Deborah was stolen from the Egyptian Goddess Neith.

Neith was a goddess of water, women, death, war and weaving, sometimes named as the mother of Apep and Ra. Deborah (meaning bee) was a prophetess who lead her people in war against the armies of Jabin, king of Hazor.

Similarities? Well... They were both female (usually; sometimes Neith is depicted as androgynous) and associated with war. Other than that... I dunno.

Jewish Noah was stolen from Sumerian Ziusudra. The fictitious Jewish God Yaweh in the Noah story replaced the Sumerian God Enlil, aka Beelzebub

Sort of. No comment. Yes. And No. This is refreshing since it does seem that these stories have similarities. The claim jumps off the track though with their claim about Enlil. It seems that Ziusudra's actual guardian may have been Enki, not Enlil, though Ziusudra does pray for mercy from An and Enlil later on. And the claim about Beelzebub = Enlil? Crap. Beelzebub (or Baal Zebub) was probably a god of the Philistines, not the Sumerians.

Noah's son Jewish Ham was stolen from Belus.

I'm not sure what Belus the Jos clergy are referring to, but I'm going to assume it's Marduk. If so, I'm baffled again. Did Marduk ever see his father naked?

Jewish Nimrod was stolen from the Egyptian Pharaoh Sesostris

Nimrod was the supposed builder of the Tower of Babel. According to Herodotus, Sesostris was a Pharaoh of Egypt who conquered the entire world. Sesostris is a legendary figure only and one of the most common theories was that he was a composite of Seti I and Ramses II. Similarities? Not much. If you're looking for parallels with Nimrod, one would be better advised to look into Mesopotamian mythology, seeing as Nimrod was described as a Mesopotamian king and all.

Jewish Abraham was stolen from King Hariscandra of the Hindu Sankhayana-Sutras Jewish Isaac was stolen from King Hariscandra's son Rohita The fictitious Jewish God Yaweh in this story replaced the Hindu God Varuna.

Abraham was supposed to come from Ur in Mesopotamia and the JoS are looking for parallels in Hinduism? Talk about missing the bleeding obvious...

Jewish character Daniel was stolen from Egyptian Neferti.

The similarities between these two? Hmmm.... They both made prophecies which may or may not have been thinly-veiled political propaganda.

The "Twelve Tribes of Israel" like the Twelve Disciples of Christ are based upon the twelve signs of the Zodiac.

As hokey as this sounds, there actually might be something to it.

Jewish Lot and his wife were stolen from the Greek Orpheus and Eurydice.

I can see the similarities too! A couple gets separated... and um... That's it. I don't think Lot ever went looking for his wife in the underworld and Orpheus apparently never had sex with his daughters. Lot didn't even seem to miss his wife that much. What a jerk.

Jewish Jacob and Jewish Esau were stolen from Horus and Set.

Let me get this straight... The Jews needed to steal myths about family rivalry from the Egyptians? They had no first-hand experience with fights over inheritance rights?

Jewish Rebekah was stolen from The Egyptian Goddess Isis.

Weeeeelll... Isis and Osiris were portrayed as brother and sister in Egyptian mythology. In the book of Genesis, Isaac briefly pretends that Rebecca is his sister.

Jewish story of Joseph and Potipher's (sic) wife stolen from Egyptian Anubis and Bata.

This is another claim that has something to it, since both involve false accusations of rape (or attempted seduction) against innocent men.

"The Ten Plagues" against Egypt were grossly exaggerated and altered and stolen from the Ipuwer Papyrus.

This is what happens when you look up information about Biblical scholarship and then read the page upside down. The Ipuwer Papyrus may have be a reference to the Ten Plagues, but it also might have been nothing more than Ancient Egyptian soul-searching about the problem of evil. Some theologians and biblical scholars have cited this as proof of the Ten Plagues, but none claim that the Hebrew Bible ripped it off.

The Ten commandments was stolen from The Code of Hammurabi Jewish Yaweh replaces the Sumerian Sun God Shamash aka Azazel.

The first part of this is true: there are a lot of similarities between the Ten Commandments and the Code of Hammurabi. It runs off the tracks quickly for several reasons:

* The Code of Hammurabi was a Babylonian document, not a Sumerian one.
* Shamash was a Babylonian god, not a Sumerian one
* Azazel = Shamash = muy stupid. Azazel was a Judaic angel associated with atonement, goats, makeup and war. Shamash was a Babylonian god of sun and justice. It's interesting, though, that Samson's similarities to Shamash are not discussed. Heck, this is one case where similar names actually have a common source.

Jewish David killing Philistine Goliath were stolen from Thor throwing a hammer at Hrungnir and striking him in the forehead.

And the Jews and the Norse first met... When?

The Jewish Job was stolen from Ugaritic Keret and Jewish Yaweh replaces the God "El." ... The Jewish "Job," was stolen from a story written in the Ugaritic language (Cuneiform Script), composed circa 1400 BCE by "Ilimilku The Scribe." This epic involves "Keret" and the God "El." NOT Job and Jehova. Keret's family tragedies and illness are comparable with the story of Job. In the original tale, "Satan" never even entered into the picture. Here, Jewish Jehova replaces El.

Thank God. Something else worth its salt.

The Jewish book of Proverbs, along with the writings in the book of Ecclesiastes were stolen from the Teachings of Egyptian Ptah-Hotep.

Try the Instructions of Amenemopet.

Jewish Mordecai stolen from the Babylonian God Marduk.

Reading Biblical criticism upside down again? A possible meaning of Mordecai is "servant of Marduk", but that's not surprising since Mordecai was supposed to have lived during the Babylonian captivity of the Jews. This does not mean Mordecai was a ripoff of Marduk.

Jewish Esther and the Jewish book of Esther was stolen from Ishtar, aka Astaroth, Astarte, Ashtar.

It's possible that Esther's name was derived from Ishtar (Akkadian for "evening star") but it's still more likely that Esther's name is related to the Median Astra (myrtle) and the Persian Setareh (star).

Myself, I'm intrigued more by something else. Median and Persian are Indo-European languages, right? And you know what star is in Latin? Astra. The similarities between the Indo-European and Semitic roots for star are apparently nothing more than false cognates, but it's interesting anyway.

The Jewish Virgin Mary "Queen of Heaven" was stolen from Astaroth.

This one actually has merit, but her name was Ashtoreth or Astarte. Astaroth was the spelling used by Christian demonologists. Interestingly, Astarte may have also been the inspiration for the Greek Aphrodite.

Jewish John the Baptist stolen from Anup, baptizer of Horus; both lost their heads.

The Jury is out on this one. Sorry kids.

Jewish Judas was stolen from Set. Jewish Matthew was stolen from Thoth. Jewish Thomas was stolen from Tammuz.

Okay, now this is just plain stupid. Judas betrayed Jesus. Matthew was a tax collector. Thomas was a doubter. I can see some parallels between Judas and Set as betrayers, but the others, I don't get.

"Like Jesus, the Greek God Hermes was also wrapped in swaddling clothing and placed in a manger, as was Dionysus."

The main myth of the birth of Hermes has to do with him stealing Apollo's cattle and giving him a lyre as a gift. Dionysus' mother died when his mother, Semele, saw Zeus in all his glory. Zeus rescued the fetal Dionysus by sewing him into his thigh. No manger was involved in either case.

As for swaddling clothing, Andrea seems unaware that swaddling was extremely common in ancient times and is still practiced today in some parts of the world. This was a mark of culture during a certain time and place. No one ever claimed that Jesus was unique because he was put in swaddling clothes.

Those Damn JoS Plagarists

I would like to issue a retraction. It appears that the Joy of Satan Ministries are still plagiarizing Ben Klassen. They're choosing instead, however, to be less blatant about it. This plagiarism can be seen here. Should the page be removed any time soon, a back-up copy can be seen here.

Andrea's love affair with Klassen is something that I find baffling, since he was an atheist and all. Why doesn't she plagiarize people more along the lines of Savitri Devi or Julius Evola? Or are their writings too hard for her to understand?

Andrea Takes On Her Critics

Apparently, Andrea is not happy about being criticized and has responded to criticisms of her with another profanity-laced article. In fact, it make for a most interesting post about logical and verbal fallacies, aside from the usual debunking.

It certainly hasn't done any damage to the Joy of Satan. We now own the largest Satanic e-groups by far on the internet, with a total of close to 10,000 members in all five e-groups combined. (As of July 2008, we are getting close to 20,000 in all Joy of Satan e-groups combined). Joy of Satan also receives over 9,000,000+ hits on all of the JoS webpages in any given month. The front page of the Joy of Satan main website has received well over 1,000,000+ hits alone.

Argumentum ad numerum/argumentum ad populum. The fact that their websites get a lot of hits and/or have lots of members does not alone prove that it's any good.

There is a book "The Secret History of the Jesuits" by Edmond Paris; translated from the French, 1975, that sums up this situation. The Catholic Church is and always has been run and operated by Jews. The late Pope John Paul (Jew) was Johnny on the spot (no pun intended) when the Jews *demanded* an audience with him.

Neither Albino Luciani nor Karol Józef Wojtyła were Jews by ethnicity or religion. I assume she's speaking of the latter here, though she never says so. Had Wojtyła had Jewish ancestry at all, it's likely he would have been rounded up with the rest of the Polish Jews. I would suppose that Andrea's claim about the former pope being a Jew is based on the fact that he was (in)famous for his attempts to apologize and make up for the atrocities Catholics had committed against Jews in the past.

Here is an excerpt from the book "The Secret History of the Jesuits" by Edmond Paris:

The Jesuits secretly and relentlessly work toward two major goals for the Roman Catholic Institution:
1. "Universal political power"
and
2. "A universal church in fulfillment of the prophesies of Revelation 6, 13, 17 and 18."

About the author "Edmond Paris":
"In exposing such a conspiracy, he put his life at stake." "Edmond Paris never knew me, but I knew him without meeting him personally when I, with other Jesuits under the extreme oath and induction, was being briefed on the names of institutions and individuals in Europe who were dangerous to the goals of the Roman Catholic Institution. His name was given to us." "The Edmond Paris works on Roman Catholicism brought about the pledge on the part of the Jesuits to:

1) destroy him,
2) destroy his reputation, including his family and,
3) destroy his work."

-Dr. Alberto Rivera
(Ex-Jesuit Priest)

In my first entry, I mentioned that the Joy of Satan use a lot of the same sources that Christian kooks use. This is a prime example. Alberto Rivera was (he died in 2005) a favorite source of Jack T. Chick, the author of numerous anvilicious comic books. Rivera, himself a fundamentalist Christian, claimed that the Catholic Church was responsible for every unfortunate thing that happened in the 19th and 20th centuries, including the assassination of two US presidents, both World Wars, Nazism, Communism and telemarketing. (All right, I'm kidding about that last part.) You would think that Catholic Church is guilty of enough, but apparently not. No, instead Rivera has to spin stories about how the Jesuits are super secret ninja assassins dedicated to destroying goodness and decency.

It's this kind of thing that indicates that Andrea doesn't care much about the integrity of her sources, so long as they conform to her prejudices. The fact that Alberto Rivera was a Christian and Zecharia Sitchin is a Jew matters not a wit to her since their theories happen to compliment some of her own. Now, if she acknowledged this, it would be a different matter. But she doesn't. Instead, she steamrolls over these facts and selectively presents such people as sympathetic to her views.

This is the same crap they are trying to do to me. What they didn't include is how the Jews forever use money as a tool. You oppose them and they will work to keep you broke.

Cum hoc ergo propter hoc. According to Andrea, a number of anti-Semites are poor. Why? Because they work against the Jews and Jews control money. Therefore, if you work against Jews, you will be poor.

Even supposing both claims are true, what evidence is there to support that anti-Semites are poorer are than non-antisemites? And if it is true, is it necessarily because anti-Semites are being forbidden work by angry Jews? Or is it because most militant anti-Semites try to make a living off Jew-baiting? Andrea's statement also neglects to mention that there have been and will continue to be wealthy anti-Semites. Henry Ford is a prime example.

"Back at Brannen's house drinking ensued and Brannen's wife came out and held a gun to her head threatening suicide because of Brannen's involvement in the Nazi party. Brannen's own son, who had participated in the march wearing full SS NSM uniform, rebelled against his father telling him he wanted out of the movement. Herrington and Brannen sat and got drunk and Herrington screamed and cried like a baby saying, "No one understands National Socialists!" Herrington is a paranoid schizophrenic with a severe body odor problem. He cries and flies off in a rage at any given moment, and then can be back to calm again."

This is a total LIE! Robert Brannen suffered a series of strokes and was quite ill for a number of years. He lived some 1,000+ miles away from my husband and it was very rare that my husband paid him any visits.

I'm surprised Andrea doesn't address the claim of body odor with something like "Cliff showers 6 times a day! SATAN COMMANDS IT!!!"

Also, I want to add, anyone who is against the Jews is labeled as "insane." This was quite common in communist countries such as the former USSR (communism and Christianity are Jewish twins), where anyone who protested the severe oppression was sent off to a mental institution and labeled as "insane."

Appeal to fear, slippery slope, and begging the question. If anyone has even been confined to a psychiatric hospital solely because they hate Jews, I would be interested to hear of it.

The above and following slander against me is from a Christian Preacher "Johnny Lee Clary." He is showing just how he loves his neighbors and upholds the commandments such as "Thou shalt not bear false witness against they neighbor." The Jews have paid him well.

Appeal to motive. Clary MUST be lying because he's a pawn of the Jews. And Clary's statements are almost certainly not slander. Why? Legally speaking, slander is "defamation by oral utterance."[1]

Herrington was known to get drunk and make lewd, crude, and socially unacceptable sexual comments to women telling them how he would like to put them on dog leashes and make them do sexual acts, which disgusted more then one woman. At the Rhinestone Cowboy Club, in Oklahoma City, back in 1981, Herrington stalked a waitress named Janie who had gone out with him twice, until he told her he was a Nazi, and flew into a rage calling her a whore and a slut shaking his fist at her when she told him she didn't want to go out with him again. He then proceeded that same night to tell two other women that if they would leave the bar with him, he would take them home where 'We shall sing, we shall dance, we shall f**k!" On another visit to Oklahoma City, Clifford told Miss Kathy Hamilton and Alice Clary of Moore, Oklahoma that he would like to tie them up and make them do sexual acts and bark like a dog. Herrington would often put on a German accent and pretend he had a Jewish person under a spotlight and mock threatening them with, "We have ways of making you talk!"

Sorry to disappoint you, but Cliff rarely, if ever drinks alcohol. He never goes to any bars. I don't either. I find bars noisy, smoky, stinky, dark, and boring.

Numerous red herrings. No one claimed that Andrea likes going to bars and anyway, the Rhinestone Cowboy Club is actually a nightclub.

There's also the fact that we only have Andrea's word that Cliff rarely drinks and/or goes to bars. Furthermore, most of this went down in 1981, and apparently, Andrea and Cliff married in 1988. If she tried to pull this in a court of law, she'd be laughed off the stand.

He is not a womanizer. He knows better and how often females are sicced on as infiltrators by the Jews.

So Jews pimp out nubile young women to lure in Nazis? Someone had better tell David Duke, post haste! I'll agree that Herrington isn't a womanizer, though. He sounds like more of a Leisure Suit Larry than anything else.

BTW, my son is white. He is part Middle Eastern, but classified as white. This just shows who the real "racists" are.

Andrea's son is half-Pashtun (ethnic Afghan). Thing is, I'm half-Iranian (that is, Persian) and even though some people think that this makes me and Andrea's son white, a lot of white supremacist types disagree. Some of them even go so far as to claim that Eastern and Southern European people aren't white either. Andrea may consider her son white, but that doesn't mean her fellow Neo-Nazis agree.

Herrington had a small group of teenagers who followed him and he had them dress up in Nazi uniforms as they picketed the Jewish Community Center and Herrington stood to the side with a riding crop in hand commanding, "March-two-three!" as the kids walked in a circle. Then Herrington made comments to Jewish women that he wished this was the good old days in Germany so he and his followers could come in and rape them.

Cliff finds Jewish women ugly and repulsive, let alone to have sex with them. He never walked with any "riding crop." This appears to reveal the fantasies of a sexually frustrated Christian Preacher and nothing more. He also seems to have a fascination with my and my husband's sex lives, which shows he obviously has sever hang-ups like any good Christian and given his short, dumpy appearance, he is obviously lacking.

Bare assertion fallacy. Clary isn't exactly the most stable person alive either, but at least he's willing to name other people to back up his claims. Mrs Herrington, on the other hand, just expects us to take her word for it because she's Satan's favorite child or something.

It doesn't help her credibility either that when someone disagrees with her, her blood pressure seems to shoot up 150 points and she promptly resorts to profanity and threats. Pro tip, Andrea: that doesn't make you look tough or in control; it makes you look like a thin-skinned loony.

In the mid nineties, according to another White Supremacist leader, Dennis Mahon, Herrington and his bride were passing through Tulsa and asked if Mahon could put them up for a few days, explaining they were on the run from the law as Clifford had had an affair with an underage teenage girl and the law was looking to prosecute. Whether this was actually true or not, is not known, but given Herrington's past record of making explicit comments and sexual innuendos toward younger girls, this would not be surprising if it were found to be true.

No, this is totally fabricated. We never asked anything from liar Mahon, let alone to stay with him. As for being on the "run" from the law, this is absurd. I would think the FBI would have been involved if this were true and Cliff would be sitting behind bars. ... Cliff has never served time.

Red herring. Clary wasn't claiming that Cliff Herrington ever served time.

AGAIN, this is a total lie that further evolved into "Satanic Ritual Abuse" allegations from the same bunch of assholes.

But most of those accused of Satanic Ritual Abuse weren't Satanists at all!

Total bullshit!! I turned to Satanism in the year 2000. This crap was supposed to have occurred in the early 90's.

Another red herring. No one said anything about Andrea being into Satanism at the time.

Being a Nazi, any little excuse for the Jews to throw the book, as they did with Dr. Matt Hale, who got 40 years on a whim (he was framed)... Being a Nazi, Cliff has always walked a straight line. Those who haven't, most are either behind bars or are informants for the ADL under the threat of doing hard time.

Matthew F. Hale was sentenced to forty years in prison for trying to arrange for the murder of, among others, a federal judge. [source] Unfortunately for him, his co-conspirator, Anthony Evola, was also an FBI informant. For some reason, the government tends to disapprove of arranging the murders of federal judges, so Hale was arrested and brought to trial. It probably didn't help Hale's case either when prosecutors played tape recordings of him mocking the victims of a 1999 shooting rampage orchestrated by one of his followers, Benjamin Nathaniel Smith.

If Jews were really out to frame all Neo-Nazis and white supremacists, that sure doesn't explain why a great number of them are alive and not imprisoned. Frankly, American Neo-Nazis are some of the whiniest even though they have the least reason to be. Why don't they try living in Germany, where Holocaust denial is a crime?

Anyone who is against the Jews is labeled as "insane."

Hasty generalization.

So, now they are hatefully attacking anyone who is gifted and communicates telepathically.

Straw man. The Citizens Against Hate article is not actually well-written, but they don't say that psychics in general are "crazy."

Most of the JoS members (which total close to 10,000) and many others such as Wiccans and Pagans communicate telepathically with other beings in other dimensions, so I guess we are all labeled as nuts.

Appeal to Popularity.

These LIES concerning my home are outrageous slander. Cats are clean animals. I can assure you, there is no "piss and shit" in my home.

Not necessarily. Not all cats have been properly trained to use a litter box and even if they have, if litter boxes aren't cleaned regularly, they reek. What's more, a number of male cats (especially ones who haven't been neutered) tend to spray furniture and upholstery with their urine.

Melissa Cloer was bright, healthy, and cheerful when she attempted to infiltrate the Joy of Satan. In less than two months, she came down with a severe case of multiple sclerosis, which ended her life several months later. I was told she was crawling around the floor of her house before she died at age 35. She visited my home once and very briefly. Her only problem was a severe allergy to cats, where she had to stay outside to avoid sneezing. ... Melissa got what she deserved. She was a lying bitch.

Circumstantial ad Hominem. Was that remark about Melissa really necessary?

Children? Yes, there are three children who call Andrea, "Mom." Two children still reside at home and are reported to be approximately 8 or 9 and 17 with the oldest being male. One of her sons is, supposedly, half "Afghani." Of course, according to Dann, one of the reasons that Andrea is not a dues paying member of the National Socialist Movement is because she doesn't meet the criteria. This is not just because of her mixed race child, but because she is half Native American.

Again, this liar does not have the slightest idea of how old ANY of my kids are. At one time, I WAS a full member of the NSM and still have my membership card. My son, whom they slander in the above paragraph, never had a problem with anyone in the NSM. The Jews and their cohorts are the ones who are the REAL racists.

Considering that a Jewish comedian infiltrated the National Alliance back in 2005, this doesn't really prove anything. NEXT.

"At one point, Andrea required that all of the clergy in the "Church" - and maybe the members - read all of the works by Ben Klassen. While her main gateway on the internet is the Joy of Satan website, she also operates 666 Black Sun. Up until recently, Dann tells us: Dann tells us:
"The ENTIRE front page was just a copy/paste job from one of Ben Klassen's books. People started complaining and so she changed it."

What a crock of SHIT!! Any fool should know by now, complaints don't matter to me. I do what Satan wants me to do. No, I have only used excerpts here and there of his writings. Heaven forbid anyone should speak out against the Jews! Oh My!!

Andrea is lying, and I can prove it. Here is the 666 Black Sun page as it currently stands: http://www.freezepage.com/1234494298CHDWWOLWSA

And here is what it looked like on February 23, 2005: http://web.archive.org/web/20050223061209/http://www.666blacksun.com/Main.html

Now, often "fair use" is cited as 300-400 words. That's not always true, but let's assume in this case that it is. Andrea used 3,599 of Klassen's words in February of 2005 on the front page alone. If Klassen's writings were copyrighted, (I'm not sure if they are or not) the Organization Formerly Known as the World Church of the Creator could have served her up a lovely DMCA takedown notice.

The entire Judeo/xian bible was written by and is a huge benefit for the Jews. It contains nothing but stolen and twisted material from Gentile Pagan religions. It is chock full of Jewish slander against Satan and the Gentile Pagan Gods. It has enabled the Jewish people to obtain privileges they are not entitled to, such as the State of Palestine of which they STOLE based upon the history they claim (which is entirely fictitious) in the bible.

"Jesus" another fictitious character is a Jew. The entire bible is nothing more than a fictitious history of the Jewish people and a powerful subliminal tool of Jew conquering Gentile from beginning to end, where their "messiah" finally appears on the scene to "judge the Gentiles" and unite the Jewish people as rulers of the earth over a Gentile slave state. Even the Jewish rabbis know Satan hates the jews.

Satanism is NOT xian "love." Fools who insist Satan is ok with the Jews need a serious reality check. The root of all vicious slander against Satan, who is our True Creator God, is Jewish. Anyone can criticize Christians, Muslims, any religion or people, but heaven forbid anyone say one bad word about the JEWS! THE POINT IS, YOU CAN'T EXPOSE THE LIE OF CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT EXPOSING THE JEWS.

Now I'll explain this very slowly: criticizing someone else's religious beliefs (or lack thereof) is not persecution. Unless you start denying someone housing rights and such because of their religion, no one's going to give a tinker's damn. Or at least, the courts won't care. Annoying people like William Donohue might, but that's beside the point.

What Andrea says about Jews falls into the category of destructive criticism. She doesn't just condemn Judaism and Zionism, she condemns all Jews, even ethnic, non-practicing Jews and non-Zionists. Andrea and her followers are allowed to hate Jews if they want, but they shouldn't act like they're being persecuted because other people find their beliefs offensive or ludicrous.

There is a reason that no one is accusing most biblical scholars of being anti-Semitic: they examine the Bible as literature and history, analyze and dispute but they don't leap the conclusion OMG THE JEWZ STOLE DIS FROM PAGANZ SO THEY COULD ROOL DA WORLD.

It has enabled the Jewish people to obtain privileges they are not entitled to, such as the State of Palestine of which they STOLE based upon the history they claim (which is entirely fictitious) in the bible.

And the Jews are ABSOLUTELY unique in this. No other culture in the world EVAR had its own set of mythical heroes and traditional founding stories. I mean, there's such a plethora of historical evidence that Romulus and Remus actually existed! Wow, why did no one notice this before?

The Zionism debate is way too complicated to get into, but suffice to say: the earliest Zionists (Theodore Herzl and his followers) were not religious. Their primary aim was to create a community for Jews again where they could live without persecution. Despite the fact that the Bible can be unreliable as history, there is one heck of a lot of proof that Jews resided in the Middle East.

Thus, despite whatever Andrea claims, most Zionists don't base their claims on Israel's the right to exist solely on "because the Talmud and Torah say so."

And now in closing, Andrea has these thoughts:

I am doing my job and it shows. I also want to add, it is obvious I am doing what Satan wants, as opposed to some idiots who ignore the blatant and claim otherwise. On 6/6/06, the 666 Black Sun e-group hit 666 members shortly after midnight. On Halloween of 2006, the Teens for Satan group hit 666.

Andrea Herrington Fails Lingustics (and History) Forever

Andrea Herrington is one of the more entertaining kooks on the interweb. For those not aware of who she is, I'll be brief:

Andrea Herrington (also known as Maxine Dietrich) runs a website called the Joy of Satan. She is a theistic Satanist who believes that Satanism was the original religion before those nasty monotheists showed up to ruin everyone's fun. Oh, and Satan's real name is Enki and he's an extraterrestrial.

But there's more. She's also a Neo-Nazi who believes that Jews are not just mistaken, but EVIL. Heresay, you say? Hardly. Her husband, Clifford Herrington, was the leader of the National Socialist Movement until rumors about his wife's extracurricular activities started to spread. You would think that Neo-Nazis would be more understanding of odd and irrational beliefs, but apparently even they have a limit. Most Neo-Nazis and other white supremacist types today are atheists, Germanic pagans, pantheists or adherents of the Christian Identity movement and apparently, they weren't that enamored with theology as... unique as the Herringtons'. The fall of the Herringtons is long and complicated and not the point of this article either, so I'll leave it at that. Those who are so inclined can visit the Anti-Defamation League for more juicy gossip.

Back to Andrea's beliefs. Aside from the fact that she's on record as a hater of all things Jew, most of her history is based on either popular misconception (i.e. the medieval Catholic Church was an all-powerful organization that operated like the Mafia) or bizarre assertions pulled out of some dark crevice of her ass (i.e. only Jews practiced blood sacrifice.) She has sources for her ravings, but unfortunately, most of them are the work of people like Zecharia Sitchin. Sitchin has been criticized repeatedly for his lack of knowledge about science, the Bible and the Sumerian, Akkadian and Hebrew languages. Valid criticisms all, but next to Andrea, Sitchin is William fucking Albright.

It's also ironic (or not) that most of her sources are identical to the ones used by far-right Christian kooks like Jack Chick, Berit and Andy Kjos and Ralph Epperson.

GENERAL MISTAKES
Andrea and her followers' biggest problem (aside from the obvious) is that they seem to be completely unaware that languages change. The English we speak today is not the same as the English we spoke in centuries past. If you doubt that, read these passages:

Your eyën two will slay me suddenly:
I may the beauty of them not sustene,
So woundeth it throughout my hertë ken.
And but your word will helen hastily
My hertës woundë, while that it is green,
Your eyën two will slay me suddenly:
I may the beauty of them not sustene

...

Hwæt. We Gardena in gear-dagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.

Both of these passages, my friends, are written in English. But the first passage is an example of Middle English (written some time in the 14th century) while the latter is an example of Old English (written some time between the 8th and 11th centuries.)

This is important because many times the articles authored by JoS clergy will assert that certain English words were "stolen" from other languages based on the fact that the words look similar. Now that that's out of the way, let's get to the debunking!

The main Gods who interacted with humanity and are our creators (through genetic engineering) are the race of Gods known as the Nordics. They live throughout the galaxy in several different solar systems. They are highly advanced in knowledge, intelligence, and in spirit. Some are helpful to humans as are Satan and the Elder Gods who have been labeled as “Demons.” [1]

I wonder what JoS' definition of Nordic is. I was under the impression that Nordic referred to Northern European, particularly Teutonic, peoples. Then again, they might be going by the writings of people like Benjamin Creme.

The Tarot has a hidden message and instructions for performing the Magnum Opus. From the Tarot, the Jewish invented "Torah" was stolen, with the original teachings being thoroughly corrupted. The Jewish "Torah" is also known as "The Five Books of Moses" (another fictitious Jewish character based upon Sargon and Thutmose) or the "Pentateuch." The five books were rip-offs from the five suits of the Tarot: Wands/Rods (the element of fire), Pentacles/Coins (the element of earth), Cups (the element of water) and Swords (the element of air), with the trump being the aether or quintessence. All five elements form the essence of the human soul (the fifth element of quintessence holds the four together) and are employed in the working of the Magnum Opus. [1]

To begin with, the Hebrew written "Five Books of Moses" also known as the "Pentateuch", along with the "Torah" were STOLEN and CORRUPTED from the Egyptian "TAROT." Note- "Torah" is an anagram of "Tarot." [4]

In the real word, as opposed to the Bizarro parallel world that the Herringtons and friends inhabit, the Torah dates back to somewhere around 1313 BCE whereas the Tarot appeared in the 15th century CE. Tarot is actually a French word, not a Egyptian one, that was derived from the Italian, tarocchi, a word whose origin is not certain. In any case, tarot was originally called "trionfi", Italian for triumph or trump, referring to the trump cards.

To be fair, the claim that the Tarot is Egyptian was first put forth by the occultist, Antoine Court de Gébelin. This claim, however, has been discarded by historians because Court wrote his history of the Tarot before the discovery of the Rosetta Stone and therefore, his theory is pure speculation. He also claimed that Tarot was derived from the Egyptian words, "ta" (royal) and "ro" (road). That probably isn't the case, but it's still more believable than JoS' claim that Tarot is an anagram of the Hebrew, Torah (especially since that anagram would only work with the Latin alphabet, which I'm pretty sure Hebrew didn't use in the 12th century BCE.)

Torah, by the way, is Hebrew for teaching, instruction or "the Law."

Aleister Crowley while in a trance state, drew a picture of what is known to be "Jehova" (a corruption of "YHVH" another rip-off of the four quarters and elements, making the 'name' unpronouncable) [1]

So great is JoS' hatred for Jews that they apparently never bothered to learn a thing about Hebrew. The Hebrew alphabet, like that of its cousin Arabic, lacks vowels. What it has instead is the "niqqud."

What does this mean? Basically this: that the tetragrammaton lacks vowels is not unusual. Biblical Hebrew often omitted the niqqud all together because of the assumptions of its writers (i.e. that people would know where the vowels go.)

A final mistake is claiming that the name is unpronounceable. Well, its not pronounced anymore by observant Jews, but that doesn't mean that they never pronounced it. When the Temple was still standing in Jerusalem, the High Priest would pronounce the tetragrammaton every Yom Kippur. However, since the Temple was destroyed in 70 CE, this is no longer done.

“Hell” emerged on the scene. The word “Hell” was stolen from the Norse word “Hel” representing the Norse underworld. In truth, "Heaven" and "Hell" are code-words for the base and crown chakras. [1]

Arguing that the word Hell was stolen is a misunderstanding of etymology. Their point of view is also excessively English-centric, which presents a problem. The linguas francas at the time of Christianity's emergence were Latin and Greek. In Latin, the word for hell is "infernum," while in Greek, it's "tártara." Maybe I need stronger glasses, but infernum and tártara don't look like they were stolen from "Hel" to me.

Furthermore, it is extremely unlikely that the authors of the gospels, the church fathers, and/or Paul of Tarsus (whom Andrea credits as the founder of Christianity) spoke English, seeing as how even Old English only dates to the fifth century. I greatly admire anyone who can steal the name of a Norse goddess they've probably never heard of for a language that does not yet exist. They would be high-powered stockbrokers, no doubt, if they were alive today.

The modern word 'hell' derives from the old English "hel" and "helle", and yes, it is a cognate of the Old Norse name of the netherworld. Amazingly, they actually got something right. I'm not even going to bother with the claims about chakras though. Just... no.

3. "Satan" in Hebrew means "adversary," but the Hebrew language was derived from other languages that preceded it by hundreds to thousands of years. The Hebrew letters are derived from Phoenician and Phoenician was derived from hieroglyphics; cuneiform- just research any text book on the origins of languages. [2]

Both Phoenician and Hebrew are classified as Canaanite languages, which are in the Semitic family of the larger Afro-Asiatic family.

The Joy of Satan clergy also seem to have misunderstood what Egyptian hieroglyphics and Sumerian cuneiform were. They are writing systems—like runes or the Latin alphabet—not separate languages.

So where did Phoenician and Hebrew come from then, you ask? Probably Canaanite, as demonstrated by this family tree. Notice, however, that Sumerian is not listed anywhere in this diagram. This is because Sumerian, like Basque and Korean, is classified by linguists as a language isolate.

Note in the upper northwest corner of the map of India, the name of the town "Satana." "Satnam" and "Sa Ta Na Ma" are sacred mantras used in kundalini (serpent) meditation. The five primal sounds in Ancient Sanskrit, one of the oldest known languages are "SA-TA-NA-MA." "Sa" means infinity; Ta means life; Na means death; and Ma means rebirth. The Jews who wrote the bible, obviously at some point shortened "Sa-Ta-Na-Ma" to "Satan" which cuts off at death. This was in further attempts to remove knowledge and replace it. The nazarene was invented as a distraction for the masses and nothing more. [2]

The JoS really really need to learn about the wonderful world of false friends. There are a number of pages on the 'net that claim to have established a link between Hebrew and Sanskrit. The problem is that they do this by simply comparing lexicon, and some similarities in lexicon do not prove a relationship. Actual linguists compare syntax and phonological and morphological systems as well. I suspect that most sites comparing Sanskrit and Hebrew don't mention syntax or phonological and morphological systems because they probably don't know what they are.

There have been many conflicting articles concerning the Yezidi Devil worshippers of Iraq. The Yezidi people originally came from Southern Iraq and migrated north to Mount Lalish. It is believed they are descendants of the Assyrians who sought refuge after the fall of Nineveh in 612 BCE. [3]

Sorry, but no. The Yezidi, by and large, are KURDS, and therefore, they're more closely related to the Persians than the Assyrians. There are Assyrians alive in the Middle East today, but most of them are Syriac Christians, not Yezidi.

The name "Jehova" was stolen from the Roman God "Jove." "The pious Dr. Parkhurst. . . proves, from the authority of Diodorus Siculus, Varro, St. Augustine, etc., that the Iao, Jehova, or ieue, or ie of the Jews was the Jove of the Latins and Etruscans...""YHWH/IEUE was additionally the Egyptian Sun God Ra: Ra was the father in heaven, who has the title of 'Huhi' the eternal, from which the Hebrews derived the name 'Ihuh.'" [4]

Remember what I said above about false friends? Uh-huh... Jehovah is the English rendering of YHVH or יְהֹוָה. It's been argued that "Jehovah" is based on a misunderstanding. The Jews rarely pronounced YHVH and used 'Adonai' or 'Elohim' instead when reading aloud from scripture. Where YHVH originates is hard to say, though it was already in use by the time of the Babylonian captivity, in the 6th century BCE. That throws some dirt on Andrea's theory, considering that the Jews had little-to-no contact with the Romans or their god, Jupiter, until Rome conquered Judea in the 1st century BCE.

The name Jupiter, incidentally, was derived from the Latin, "lovis pater" and "Iovis" was eventually turned into Jove by English writers.

Most wound up in the "Goetia." Note the similarity of the root "Goet" meaning "Devil" and the derogatory Jewish word for Gentile, which is "goy" or plural, "goyim." [5]

("goy" or "goyim" - plural, are Jewish derogatory words for "Gentile/s" the root "goeti" is the root word of "Devil." Satan is the God of the Gentiles and our True Creator God. "Satan" means "enemy" in Hebrew. [7]

Goetia is a Latin word derived from the Greek, γοητεια (goeteiam, meaning "charm" or "jugglery") which was derived in turn from the Greek word for sorcerer, γοης.

Goyim is indeed a Hebrew word often used to refer to Gentiles. However, goyim literally means "nation"or "people" and has no connection with devils or demons. Your mileage may vary about the question of whether or not goyim is "derogatory."

Note "Jesus" the five letters represent the five elemtnts- fire, earth, air, water, and quintessence of the human soul [6]

I suppose the JoS clergy assumes "Jesus" was the name first applied to the Nazarene? Sorry, but no. Jesus is "an Anglicization of the Greek Ίησους (Iēsous), itself a Hellenization of the Hebrew יהושע (Yehoshua) or Hebrew-Aramaic ישוע (Yeshua), meaning 'YHWH rescues.'" Had the New Testament not been written in Greek, we might have known Jesus as Joshua, but more about that can be found here.

"Easter" was stolen from Astaroth. Originally known as "Ashtar." This holiday coincides with the Vernal Equinox of spring when day and night are of equal length. Known as "Eastre" to the Anglo-Saxons. As the Goddess of fertility, she was associated with rabbits and eggs. The xtians stole this holiday and twisted its meaning. Other names include: Easter Eastre Eos Eostre Ester Estrus (Estrus is when an animal goes into heat; mating season) Oestrus Oistros and Ostara. Again, the "Lamb of God" was stolen from the Zodiac sign of Aries the Ram which occurs every spring. [6]

You know, there's a great dictionary of etymology over here. Try and use it sometime. And once again, Andrea and co.'s view is very English-centric. There are Christians who don't speak English, after all, and they don't call Easter, well, "Easter." Speakers of Romance languages call Easter by its Greek name, Pascha, which was derived from Pesach, the Hebrew Passover. Speakers of many Slavic languages call it "Great Day" in their respective tongues. In Croatian and Serbian, Easter is called Uskrs, "Resurrection."

So where does the English word, "Easter?" come from? That dictionary of etymology I linked to above says Easter is derived from the Old English, Eastre. According to the Venerable Bede, Eostre was an Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn whose name was co-opted by Anglo-Saxon Christians for the celebration of the resurrection of Christ.

The article mentions "Ostara" and had Andrea spent more time doing research and less time doing LSD, she'd know that Ostara was first mentioned by Jakob Grimm, of Brothers Grimm fame. He speculated that Ostara was a German goddess that the German Easter, Ostern was based on. (While we're on the subject, the neo-pagan holiday of Ostara is a mixture of different spring fertility celebrations and there seems to be no actual record of a historical holiday called Ostara.)

So does that mean that the whole idea of Easter was stolen from Germanic and Anglo-Saxon religion? Probably not. The idea of the celebration was not invented by Anglo-Saxons and the Venerable Bede's theory about Easter coming from the goddess Eostre was just that. Eostre has no certain parallel in North Germanic languages, though Jacob Grimm suggested Eostre may be related to the figure of Austri, from a 13th century Prose Edda. So, in short: whether or not Eostre was actually ever worshipped is up for debate. Either way, neither the Venerable Bede nor Jakob Grimm ever claimed that she was associated with rabbits or eggs.

Moving on, the claim that the "Lamb of God" was stolen from the Zodiac sign/constellation Aries is another thing straight out of Bizarro world. The Lamb of God actually comes out of Passover tradition when the Temple in Jerusalem was still intact. Every Passover, a lamb would be slain, its blood spread on the altar and the flesh eaten. Now since I know most of the Joy of Satan clergy has a difficult time grasping metaphor, I'll spell it out: in calling Jesus Christ the "Lamb of God", his followers were saying that he was a sacrificial lamb offered up to repent for humanity's sins. There's an alternative theory that the phrase should actually be translated as "son of God", but either way, it doesn't have a thing to do with Aries the Ram.

Speaking of, Aries actually refers to a golden ram that rescued Phrixus and Helle from being sacrificed due to the lies of their stepmother, Ino. Helle fell off the back of the ram and drowned, though Phrixus reached dry land safely and sacrificed the ram to Zeus in thanks. The ram's golden fleece was given to Aeëtes and that golden fleece became the very fleece that Jason sought to claim in myth of Jason, Medea and the Argonauts.

The Rosary was stolen from Tibetan Mala Beads, used for meditation. The repetition of the "Hail Marys" and the "our fathers" are stolen from the East Asian Mantras. A Mantra is a word repeated over and over to focus the mind in meditation. "Ohm" is the most common. The robotic repetitious prayers recited over and over again in Christian Churches are also corrupted imitations of mantras. [6]

... Right. And the Desert Fathers knew what Buddhists were doing in Tibet... how, exactly?

And sadly, their definition of a mantra is, at best, an oversimplification.

"Amen" when said at the end of Christian prayers was STOLEN as well. "Amen" was stolen from the Egyptian "Amon." "Amon RA." [6]

Amen is actually Old English, derived from the Greek "amen, which was in turn derived from the Hebrew "amen", meaning truth. It was often used as a term to confirm agreement, from Semitic root a-m-n "to be trustworthy, confirm, support." This is why, even today, people often respond to a statement that heartily agree with with "Amen!" Amon, conversely, was apparently Egyptian for "hidden."

The Tarot, which originated in Egypt and is based upon the constellations (Egypt was the center of Spiritual Alchemy) has evolved into a deck of cards, of which modern playing cards originated after the trump was discarded.

There's no concrete evidence that the Tarot came from Egypt, unless Andrea and friends have a large collection of manuscripts stored away somewhere. As far as we can definitely tell, the first Tarot decks originated in 15th century Italy.

It's true that playing cards in general first entered Europe by way of the Egyptian Mamluke Sultanate, sometime in the 11th or 12th century, but there's no reason to suppose that the Mamlukes were sekritly into Egyptian mysticism. Most of the the Mamulkes came from the areas around the Caucasus and were, therefore, no more "Egyptian" than Cleopatra VII.

Michael the archangel is the same and was stolen from Marduk. Archangel "Gabriel" was stolen from the Egyptian God Thoth, Raphael was stolen from Azazel and Uriel from Beelzebub.

Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel began as Chaldean demi-gods, not a Babylonian god, an Egyptian god, a Talmudic angel and a Philistine idol.

This is one of the many, many examples of the Joy of Satan clergy asserting that some Jewish or Christian angel/god/biblical figure was stolen from something in some other religion, and then fail to back up that claim. What are the similarities between say, Raphael and Azazel?

The "Horned God" originates to Sumeria. The Sumerian Gods wore headgear with horns. This predates Judeo/Christianity by thousands of years. Pagan religions were known for their worship of the Horned God. [1]

Kind of like Vikings? (Or not: apparently Vikings never wore horned helmets. Damn.)

Anyway, the Horned God myth was advocated by Margaret Murray in the 1930s, but it's been discredited and Andrea's version is even more bizarre. At least Murray could point to actual horned gods in ancient European religions, like Pan or Cernunnos. As far as I'm aware, there is no Sumerian god with horns; hell, there's not even a Akkadian or Assyrian god with horns.
