Ancient Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Greek, Aztec and Canadian religions are discussed. Mesopotamians believed in city gods and built ziggurats. Egyptians had animal-headed gods like Ra and built temples. Greeks believed the Olympians ruled and Canadians have Christianity as the dominant religion. Aztecs sacrificed people to gods like Huitzilopochtli and feared the world ending.
In this study I have explored a number of resources to glean information on the god Baal in order to understand why this god has been such a rival of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. How can it be that this god, who is no god at all, could be such a rival to Jehovah that God's people could not be kept from worshiping him, rather than the God who brought them out of Egypt, and did all kinds of amazing miracles on their behalf? The battles to stop the people from this false idolatry seem endless as we read the Old Testament. They may succeed for awhile, but soon the people are back following the worship of this enemy to Jehovah. What is the secret to the power of this god made up by the minds of pagans? How could the worship of this deity become so popular that the only way God could eliminate it was to send his people in great judgment out of the Promised Land that he had led them into? The goal of this study is to make sense of this mystery.

A critical analysis of Christian history and the content of the Bible. We do not question God and the Spirit. We question the human made religion. This is a selection of facts and knowledge.
There are two Messiahs running around in the churches. One claims the Ten Commandments are done away with, the other one came back to restore the people of Israel back to Yahweh's Commandments. Which one do you serve?

A look at how the dominant religion has historically created White, patriarchal, heterosexual, anthropocentric norms, which are perpetuated in public schools. To be clear, this is not about questioning one's faith or the messages of Jesus. This is a critical look at how Christianity moved into and maintains dominance, especially in how it separates people from each other and from nature.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Religion
In Ancient Mesopotamia, they had an unique system of
religion in which they thought greatly influenced their
lives. As there were many different cities and small towns
within Mesopotamia, each town was dedicated to a certain

built for the city’s god. These temples (also known as
Ziggurats) looked alike to a pyramid with a flat top.

intro
Ancient Greeks believed in many different gods, and goddesses, which

The Greeks believed that their gods could control what happened to
them in a positive, or negative way. So, many people would pray to
their gods to ask for something good to happen. (For example, slaves
may ask for freedom.)
