| | Semitic gods - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Semitic gods refers to the gods or deities of peoples generally classified as speaking a Semitic language. | | | As Semitic itself is a rough, categorical term, the definitive bounds of the term "Semitic gods" are likewise only approximate. | | | A topic of particular interest is the transition of Semitic polytheism into our contemporary understanding of monotheism by way of the god El, a name of god Judaism and cognate to Islam's Allah. |

| | In Ugaritic Mot 'Death' (spelled mt) is personified as a god of death. | | | Mot 'Death', son of El, according to instructions given by the god Hadad (Ba&) to his messengers, lives in a city named hmry ('Mirey'), a pit is his throne, and Filth is the land of her heritage. | | | The word is cognate with forms meaning 'death' in other Semitic languages: with Hebrew מות (māwet); with Canaanite, Egyptian Aramaic, Nabataean, and Palmyrene מות (mwt); with Jewish Aramaic, Christian Palestinian Aramaic, and Samaritan מותא (mwt’); with Syriac mautā; with Mandaean muta; with Akkadian mūtu; with Arabic maut. |

| | Ba& is not THE semitic god and is not the same god as EL. | | | To reject the Goauld as counterfeit Gods is in some ways to affirm the existence of the real God that the Goauld try to mimic with their pretenses of immortality, omniscience and omnipotence. | | | Of course, to those who say that they don't believe in the real God, any belief would be in a false god. |

| | The worship of these Semitic gods is attested to in coins and inscriptions from the cities. | | | There is evidence that the colonists adopted the worship of other Semitic gods, including Phoenecian deities and the chief Nabatean god, Dushara (worshipped under his Hellenized name, Dusares). | | | The Greek inhabitants were shocked by the Semitic practice of circumcision, while the native Semitic peoples were disgusted by the Greeks' acceptance of homosexuality and other unfamiliar sexual practices. |

| | He was called "the father of the gods," "the creator of creators." For all this, he seems to have been a rather passive deity who continued to exist as a shadowy father figure for the other gods and goddesses in the later pantheons of the many Phoenician cities. | | | One of the figurines is nude, and that fact eliminates it as a god or goddess; in the long tradition of Semitic religions gods and goddesses were always represented fully clothed in rich garments appropriate to their station. | | | Once placed in a shrine and dedicated to a god, a clay figurine became a holy object, the property of the god. |

| | The ancient Semites believed therefore that the divinity could be regarded as embodied in the waters, in the fire of the lightning, in stones or plants. | | | The last formula reached by the religion of the pagan Semites and in consequence by that of the Romans, was a divinity unique, almighty, eternal, universal and ineffable, that revealed itself throughout nature, but whose most splendid and most energetic manifestation was the sun. | | | But the most powerful gods were the constellations and the planets that governed the course of time and of all things. |

| | All Semitic religions live under the curse of Adam; from his very birth man feels himself guilty and cursed for a crime by an alleged ancestor against God whose prophets, priests and “holy books” have imputed to all his descendants. | | | The monotheistic religions, ruled by jealous Gods who have declared the nonexistence of all other Gods, have cut man off from the universe which they demonize and calumniate. | | | In the war against the universe God becomes the enemy of all that is natural, of the inherent joy of existence. |

| | The first appearance of the Judeo-Christian God on the stage was when he came to Earth in 1433 BC to establish for himself a nation that would worship (original word meaning “work for”) him, or perhaps 600 years earlier when he instituted the barbaric practice of male genital mutilation. | | | They were not gods in any religious sense, and there was no religion as such. | | | The popular notions about those people’s gods and religion are erroneous, however. |

| | To begin with, the notion that Hindus have 33 crore ‘gods and goddesses’ to worship is a vicious, calculated lie spread by Christian missionaries to bring Sanatana Dharma into disrepute among the monotheistic Westerners by deliberately mistranslating the Sanskrit term ‘deva’ as ‘god’. | | | The Gods and Goddesses we worship are Vishnu and Lakshmi, Shiva and Parvathi, Saraswathi, Brahma, Ganesha, Karthikeya and Dharma Sastha, and also their various forms. | | | The Semitic Gods, Yahweh and Allah, and Yahweh’s only-Begotten Son Jesus and Allah’s Final Prophet Muhammad, offer a study in stark and tragic contrast. |

(Rogers, Religion of Babylonia and Assyria (1908), 164). | | | As the influence of the northern worship had tended toward heathenism, so the influence of the southern worship of an imageless god had tended toward higher spiritual ideals. |
