  • what song is this?

  • At the end of the video there are the titles you need. Please next time avoid making six comments about the same thing plus one on my profile, thank you

  • From wikipedia Plutarch wrote in De Superstitiones 171:

    ... the whole area before the statue was filled with a loud noise of flutes and drums so that the cries of wailing should not reach the ears of the people.

  • I have answered you below; but I could say that "literary" sources are not so trustable as they don't collide with archaeological evidences

  • I have heard this kind of statement before, but have not seen any evidence to explain why some have arrived at this conclusion, so im interested to see what trustable evidence do you have to state that the bible is not trustable evidence for real facts? I've only recently become interested in evidence against things stated as fact in the bible, but have seen more evidence to make me think more of it is true than false, at least in my opinion, but im after the truth so i welcome any suggestions.

see all

  • Are there any modern Pagans that worship Moloch?

  • In my readings and such it was believed this cult was for a time assimilated into the israelite tribes by outside sources which in the bible brought on God's anger on the charge of idolatry.

  • I don't know if there is an English translation of his works, but you should start by reading Sabatino Moscati's studies about Phoenician religion, my video summarizes his works and the ones by Ribichini and Xella, two other italian scholars. Of course I have a "pagan" interest in spreading their studies, but I essentially followed what they said

  • I think they better invented what we call "moloch religion" to point out that they were "different", that they were "good"...

  • Isn't christianity, islam, and judaism derived from the "MOLOCH RELIGION" of the ancient Canaanites?
