Hey, you wanna learn about ancient Mediterranean religions? Did you know Yahweh is a divorced dad?

Sources:

Crecganford - Asherah, Wife of God

Religion For Breakfast, YWHW Had a Wife?

Esoterica, Who is Yahweh

Source? I knew he was a philandering asshole, but I didn't know he was divorced before he met Mom.

Shit, maybe he wasn't... now I need a damn drink. Anyone got a spare water bottle?

Both of you, hurry up and provide me with more information now that I am interested and therefore invested

My guess is the fact that his son had to go through a whole lot of shit to be able to live with him after growing up with his stepdad.

Still pretty tenuous. It takes a lot of liberties with the source materials to arrive at that destination

Religion For Breakfast and Esoterica on YouTube. There are a number of videos on Asherah stones found in pre-Israelite temples next to the Yahweh stones..

I do want to know this!! Is the divorce an interpretation of the decline of Asherah worship?

Ding ding ding you win!

That's the sort of knowledge I have no interest in retaining long-time, but am always curious to read up on for hours and hours.
