Mohammad prophet of Yahweh the volcano god.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yahweh, one of the many names for the god of Abraham, was undoubtedly a volcano god. In other words, the Jews and Muslims are worshipping absolutely nothing. The Christians have Jesus but he believed in Yahweh so that doesn't leave him on a good standing. Volcanoes were, in ancient times, seen as the homes, battle sites & landing pads of fiery gods. These gods could be alone, as in Yahweh living on the top of Mount Sinai of Arabia (probably Saudi), with others as in Pele and her lover or in groups as in the battle between <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjB0alZtMnk">Zeus and Typhon</a>. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The prophets of imaginary volcano gods were depicted with either fire around them, with a glow of light coming from them or with a halo above them. Above we see Mohammad depicted with fire around him. Please see the pictures below that also show fire around Mohammad.</div>

I would like to pass on some ideas, some of which are my own and some I have learnt from others. I am not an academic so please try to not expect me to debate like one. My efforts are not perfect, my knowledge is scant and I do not have all the answers. My ideas are not all backed up by reliable sources because some of them are novel and some of them are not yet widely accepted. Please see the links at the bottom for the best sources or back-up information I can provide. If you need 100% reliable academic published sources then stop reading now. I do, however, believe these ideas deserve closer inspection by the expert community and hope some of you at least will look into them. Two things are needed in order to solve mysteries: fresh eyes and knowledge. I have the former, you have the latter. </div>

The reason why I am writing on here and on another forum today is because of the re-emergence of the snake oil salesman Erich Von Daniken, the author of 'Chariots of the Gods: was God an astronaut?' His ideas, that the ancient gods were visiting aliens or astronauts, are ones I have wanted to challenge for a long time. When I saw how popular his ideas were on Twitter I decided I had to say something. When I realised his ideas are approved by the Theosophical Society and therefore also Freemasonry I realised just how widespread his misinformation was and how important it was to challenge it. </div>

The 'chariots of the gods' were, I believe, natural phenomena the ancients mistook for the vehicles of gods. If you imagine a charging chariot, what do you see in addition to the actual chariot? A trail of dust cloud. How else, other than by watching chariots charging, would the ancients have seen a trail of dust or something that looked like a trail of dust...or looked like a chariot charging? By witnessing a volcanic eruption. Volcanoes have lines of billowing ash coming out of them, ash racing down mountain slopes and fire blazing along in rivers. To the ancients, in their very natural environments, these lines of ash, smoke and fire would have reminded them of the lines created by charging chariots. Here are some verses and exerts that show how widespread the god vehicle idea was...</div>

<div abp="695">
The thing all the above had in common was, I believe, a misunderstanding of volcanoes. It was only in recent history that we in the modern world learnt what volcanoes were. Even today, indigenous people are throwing chickens into volcanoes falsely believing a god resides within who needs to be placated. Yahweh, for example, required animal sacrifice at the foot of Mount Sinai (which I believe was one of the volcanoes in Saudi...the Bible says Arabia), threw out fire and brimstone (which is volcanic sulfur), had 'rivers of fire' coming out of him (just like Pele), was said to have hair as white as wool (smoke), had a tongue of 'consuming fire', had eyes of fire, showed his anger in fire, destroyed whole villages and lived on a 'holy hill'. </div>
<div abp="696">
<br /></div>
<div abp="697">
The ancients believed the fiery top of the volcanoes was a sign a god was in-residence or that gods were fighting or arguing, or that there was a battle between good and evil. Pele would be said to have fights with her sister, the Klamath Indians believed Skell and Llao fought between each other on the top of fiery hills throwing fire and stones at each other, the Maasai people believed when their volcano erupted it was because their god was angry, a Filipino legend has it that the moon god angered the sun god on the volcano Mt Pinatubo....many more examples in the links.</div>
<div abp="698">
<br /></div>
<div abp="699">
Pyramids, I and others believe, were built in part to represent volcanoes. There are pyramids all over the world but they are often found near to volcanoes in volcanic regions. The exception is Egypt but even there there is the Black Desert with volcanic cones, one called Pyramid Mountain and said by some to have been the inspiration for the pyramids of Egypt. If not that volcano then maybe the volcanoes the people of Punt will have seen in eastern-central Africa. In the link below you can see a map of the volcanoes of Africa and see the concentration of them in this region. Did the Egyptians migrate from Punt to Egypt? If they did they will have taken their god with them; taken their misguided faith with them. Along with their faith they will have taken their inherent need for a 'high place' just like Yahweh's 'high place'; a temple, a mound, a resting place for the gods...for the 'Most High'. Could it be that they believed building a 'high place' could somehow attract down their god? They believed volcanoes were just ordinary mountains that a god or gods had chosen to live on or fight on. Any old mountain, man-made mound, pyramid, temple, steeple, ziggurat would do. Fire seems to be central to these holy places yet no-one ever questions why? What did the ben-ben stone represent if not the blown off part of a volcano? Or the pinnacle where god was? Yahweh was said to be the 'Light of Israel' and there are many 'Mountains of Light' in ancient history. </div>

Volcanoes have always been the most dramatic and catastrophic things on earth. The Santorini eruption was forty times more powerful than an atomic bomb. This eruption is said by some to be the cause of the ten plagues of Egypt and subsequent Exodus of the Hebrews. Volcanoes were interpreted in different ways throughout the world depending on the geology of the people and the location of the eruption. For example, a submerged volcano would have been seen by the ancient Hebrews as a monster...the Leviathan. But submerged volcanoes can and do 'create' new land and would also have been seen as the 'world mountain', the primordial land surrounded by primordial waters. The ancient Hebrews had their holy mountain, described as 'the Light of Israel' on his 'fiery hill' so a submerged volcanic eruption, barely recognisable, would have been seen as the adversary.</div>
<div abp="703">
<br /></div>
<div abp="704">
Volcanoes tend to be located where continents are pulling apart, which explains why the Red Sea Rift Zone is home to submerged volcanoes (a recent island was 'created') and volcanoes along the north-west coast of Saudi Arabia. It is likely the volcano line carries on up the rift into the Dead Sea, Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River (the home of the Leviathan) but this I have not been able to prove. Maybe one day nature will prove that for me. Volcanoes were the creators and destroyers of life....new land could be created just as it could be taken away, new plants could grow on revitalising ash deposits just as plants could be burnt to a crisp, new animals and humans could benefit from the lush volcanic land just as they could be killed by the 'Most High', who had the added benefit of throwing out lots of gold and gemstones! </div>
<div abp="705">

<div abp="706">
<br /></div>
<div abp="707">
Going back to the beginning....the 'chariots of the gods'. I believe the ancients thought the gods arrived from other planets and stars. To them, brightness only came from fire they produced, the moon, the sun, the stars and fire made by something from 'the heavens', the latter just being the sky. So when they saw fire on the top of the mountain they assumed it had been made by a man, but not just any old man....a very powerful man. This man just landed on the top of the mountain and decided to live there, just as Yahweh was said to live on Mount Sinai. But where did these god-men come from originally? From up above. Yahweh was said to look like 'glowing heat' on the top of Mount Sinai just like the Ben-ben stone must have looked radiant in the sunlight. That glowing heat...the 'glory of god'...looked like the sun. So, perhaps, the ancient people, with a fascination for the sky (no TV, no games console, no radio...only sky) would have put two and two together to come up with the idea the gods' original homes were the sun, the moon, the stars. This could explain why pyramids contained dead Pharaohs with vents directed at the stars.....the souls could ascend up to the place where their gods also ascended up to...from a vessel much like the one their gods' used. Throughout the world there are accounts of bodies being buried inside caves on mountain slopes. I believe the same belief is behind this practice and originates from volcano misunderstandings. </div>
<div abp="708">
<br /></div>
<div abp="709">
The ancients imagined their gods must have travelled around the sky and created in their own minds the vehicles they must have used having witnessed or been told via the oral tradition about the chariots of fire and ash from volcanoes. The idea of gods riding on chariots, carriages or sleds will have been extended to other natural phenomena, such as charging tsunami waves or the moving objects in the sky, such as Helios riding the chariot of the sun. Their fertile imaginations were not boxed in by modern media but <i abp="710">were</i> fueled by ignorance of the natural world around them. It is no wonder then that the holiest ancient regions of the world are also the most volcanic, or have connections to volcanic regions. Unfortunately I have seen a huge amount of explanations for Yahweh, the pyramids, the chariots of the gods that do not involve the natural environment of the ancient people but lots of modern thinking, for example nuclear bombs, alien invasions, etc.</div>
<div abp="711">
<br /></div>
<div abp="712">
What I feel is necessary to understand the ancients is to be like them....to step into their shoes and picture the scene using your imagination....the very thing that (I believe) created all of these mysteries. We need to empathise with them in order to understand them. Then and only then will we finally realise the true purpose of mythology: to warn of impending doom envisioned by our ancestors who had witnessed devastation and lived to tell the tale. Maybe then we can put mythology to good use and save lives with it rather than childishly play with it, as we have done for too long.</div>

I initially PM'd the above to EpsilonRose but she PM'd back to say she felt it wasn't worth sharing with the forum. Her response including this...<br />
<br />
<em>Beyond that, a large part of Ragnarök is its winter, which wouldn't be associated with a volcano, and even the volcanic parts don't actually suggest a super volcano. Travel and knowledge in the ancient world were much more limited then what they are now and, given the size of Iceland, a regular volcano or a particularly egregious forest fire would have sufficed and require far fewer assumptions about their knowledge (do we actually have any reason to believe that they knew super volcanoes were a thing?).</em> <br />
<br />
She thinks volcanoes only erupt in the summer???<br />
<br />
'even the volcanic parts'....wait a minute, if she denies it was a volcanic eruption then why is she calling parts of the story 'volcanic'? <br />
<br />
So it's only worth sharing this information if the volcano was a SUPER-volcano? Wow, so Ragnarok might have been caused by just an ordinary volcano but the volcanic part isn't important enough to share with others because it wasn't super-big. Oh.....hmmm....<br />
<br />
'Travel and knowledge in the ancient world was limited then'....what's that got to do with anything? <br />
<br />
Given the size of Iceland....what? That makes no sense. No punch-line followed.<br />
<br />
So it could have been a 'forest fire'.<br />
<br />
Do forest fires make land callapse and then spew out new land? <br />
<br />
Do forest fires trigger earthquakes?<br />
<br />
Do forest fires produce steam? (Ragnarok eruption may have been on an island in the sea)<br />
<br />
Do forest fires cause the sun to be darkened for years?<br />
<br />
Do forest fires make the earth sink into the sea?<br />
<br />

I think the OP has fallen to Groupthink having seen how unpopular my ideas are. <br />

<br />
I give up. I'm not going to do another god damn thing to try to get people to believe that <a href="http://ohmyvolcano.blogspot.com/2011/11/list-of-biblical-verses-that-suggest.html" target="_blank">Yahweh was a <b>volcano god</b></a> or that that means the Jews, Christians and Muslims are worshipping sod all. Hardly anyone's interested in hearing about this idea and those who are are too afraid to speak out against the baying mob. <br />
<br />
So, that's it. I've spent five years researching this damn thing and gotten nowhere other than Ridicule Central. I've put up with panicked Christians, wounded Chosen Ones and threatening Muslims. More than that, I've put up with Rottweiler atheists who would lock their jaws on your jugular if they could for suggesting a new idea. Hell hath no fury like an atheist challenged with new information! <br />
<br />
'What? New? Bang!!!'<br />
<br />
Stuff world peace. Let the Israeli Jews kill all the Muslims who haven't killed them already and let's hope they blow Jerusalem off the map so it no longer causes any histrionic grief. More trouble than it was worth anyway, damn stupid ramshackle pile of sand blocks, wailing women and weirdos. <br />
<br />
Stuff women's lib. Who gives a damn about the future of our girls growing up in increasingly Muslim Europe and other increasingly hell-holish dumps when there are much more important things to think about, like Kim Kardashian's bottom? Besides, headscarves <i>can</i> be pretty, in a prudish kind of way, and they protect the hair from the sun, not that there is any in England. Burkas will mean our girls won't have to spend so long choosing an outfit in the morning. Husbands are generally lousy anyway so the girls may as well let someone else pick one for them. Clitorises are a major distraction so best removed. Being allowed to go outside alone is not such a luxury when you have bags of food shopping to carry for the huge broods so future women will be very grateful for their permanent male shadows. Our future generations of girls will get along just fine with Islam or fundamentalist Christianity, depending on which continent they live in and which century....two thousand years ago or 610AD.<br />
<br />
Terrorism. The world needs more terrorism and not less. The place is riddled with us ant-like creatures and the world's resources are running out as fast as the climate is warming up. We need big bombs and big casualty numbers to reduce the numbers of useless eaters. <br />
<br />
Parties are over-rated as is humour. I'm not laughing now and I'm ok. Alcohol will soon be forgotten and replaced with black coffee and think of the money saved in accident and emergency. Dancing on tables or wearing short skirts has never done anyone any good so it's going to be a good thing when these tacky acts are banned. Fun? Over-rated. Memorising scripture? Under-rated. Things are gunna change around here.<br />
<br />
Stuff soft justice! Heads need to roll! I for one will look forward to seeing some choppy choppy action. It's been a god damn torment seeing petty criminals get away intact. An eye for an eye or a hand for a bread loaf....they deserve what they get (lose).<br />
<br />
So the world will forever be imprisoned by a fake religion based on volcano worship, most likely Islam seeing as it's the most smashy smashy. Well, I'll be dead by then so it won't bother me and, besides, the word is full of fakes anyway so it might as well be ruled by something fake. I'll die a happy death knowing the best system for the people will be forced upon them. It will bring an end to the millennia long bickering and prattle prattle between the various factions. An end to the circular arguments that could send any sane person round the bend will be a blessing for humankind, even though it will be ended by a fake religion based on a big blunder. If it works it works.....that's what I say.<br />
<br />
So, I shall hang up my finger tips and settle into crusading retirement. <br />
<br />
Stuff the truth....three cheers to lies, damn lies and god damn lies!!! <br />
<br />
They have so much going for them.<br />

I shall add to it as and when I can.</span></em> <br />
<br />
The question, 'Was God a volcano?' can be answered by telling a story based on information in the Bible....<br />
<br />
The Hebrews camped at the base of Mount Sinai. Yahweh was believed to be a creator god and giver of all things, 'The master of the universe and Lord of all nature.' He created the human community, land, rain, plants and animals. The Hebrews believed that Yahweh lived (or manifested himself) at the top of Mount Sinai when he came down from the heavens. They believed the mountain was Yahweh's throne on earth. It was the place where Moses, the leader of the tribe, met with Yahweh. They erected their tents to face the Lord or the Lord's tabernacle. Mount Sinai was referred to as 'His abode', 'His throne', 'His habitation'. There are many myths and songs associated with Yahweh and Mount Sinai. The Hebrews are monotheists believing in a unique and omnipotent god. Yet he was not a distant god. He had human characteristics and man was even said to be made in the image of god. Some say he lives in the sky or in the clouds but myths say he comes to earth from time to time to inspect it , bestow blessings and mete out punishments (Sodom and Gomorrah being examples of the latter). Thunder is attributed to Yahweh as is lightning. The Hebrews had migrated away from Egypt having escaped possible slavery conditions and had found themselves at the slopes of Mount Sinai and set up camp. This rock was known as the place where god was.<br />
<br />
...........................................................................................................<br />
<br />
Now please read the story of the peoples who camped at the base on Mount Kenya, which is a volcano...<br />

The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embu_people" title="Embu people">Embu people</a> live to the south-east of Mount Kenya,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-ecology_10-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kenya#cite_note-ecology-10">[10]</a></sup> and believe that the mountain is God's home (Meru word for God is <i>Ngai</i> or <i>Mwene Njeru</i>). The mountain is sacred, and they build their houses with the doors facing towards it.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-guide_17-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kenya#cite_note-guide-17">[17]</a></sup> The Embu people are closely related to the <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ameru" title="Ameru">Ameru</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbeere" title="Mbeere">Mbeere</a> people. The Mbeere and Akamba are the settlers of the southeast side of the Mountain.<br />
<br />
Ngai or mwene-nyaga is the creator and giver of all things, "the Divider of the Universe and Lord of Nature". He (Ngai) created the human community. It is also believed that He created the first Gĩkũyũ communities, and provided them with all the resources necessary for life: land, rain, plants and animals. He cannot be seen but is manifest in the sun, moon, stars, comets and meteors, thunder and lightning, rain, in rainbows and in the great fig trees (Mugumo). These trees served as places of worship and sacrifice and marked the spot at Mũkũrũe wa Gathanga where Gĩkũyũ and Mũmbi – the ancestors of the Gĩkũyũ in the oral legend – first settled.<br />
<br />
Yet he was not a distant god. He has human characteristics, and although some say that He lives in the sky or in the clouds, Gĩkũyũ lore also says that he comes to earth from time to time to inspect it, bestow blessings and mete out punishment (similar to God's visit of Abraham before destroying Sodom). When he comes He rests on Mount Kenya and kĩrĩma kĩa njahĩ (Kilimambogo). Thunder is interpreted to be the movement of Ngai and lightning is the weapon used by Ngai to clear the way when moving from one sacred place to another. Some people believe that Ngai’s abode is on Mount Kenya, or else ‘beyond’ its peaks. Ngai, one legend says, made the mountain his resting place while on an inspection tour of earth. <br />

It is the place where Gĩkũyũ, the father of the tribe, used to meet with God. Kikuyus used to build their houses with the doors facing the mountain. The Gĩkũyũ name for Mount Kenya is <i>Kĩrĩ Nyaga</i> (Kirinyaga), which literally translates to 'God's Resting Place' or 'Where God Lives' in this case referring to Mwene Nyaga. Mt. Kenya features a lot in the Ameru folklore and songs. The Gĩkũyũ were – and still are – monotheists believing in a unique and omnipotent god whom they refer to as Ngai. <br />
<br />
The migration to Mount Kenya was perhaps due to conflicts there, such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery" title="Slavery">slavery</a>. It is believed that they migrated as far as the Kenyan Coast, since the Meru elders refer to Mpwa (aPwani or Coast) as their origin. The conflicts there, perhaps slave trade by <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab" title="Arab">Arabs</a>, forced them to retreat northeast to the interior of Kenya, and they settled by the slopes of Mount Kenya. They were to refer to this location as the place of the Lord.<br />
<br />
..................................................................................................<br />
<br />
Was God a Volcano? Well, Mount Kenya is a volcano and the similarities between its associated clans and the Hebrew clan are too numerous to ignore. The correlation between the supposed meeting with god at Mount Sinai and the meeting with another god at Mount Kenya is very obvious. These two scenarios are far from alone in the world of ancient mountain fire gods. <br />
<br />
My knowledge has grown to now believing many ancient civilisations throughout the world lived near to volcanoes due to them believing they were the homes/thrones of gods when they chose to pay earth a visit and come down from the sky. Back in ancient times, volcanoes were as misunderstood as they were anthropomorphised. All ancient people believed they were the chosen homes of fire/mountain/volcano gods. They believed a volcano god would choose a tall mountain to set up home/temple and then put on a fiery show. This would attract nomadic clans who would set up camp at the base of the volcano. Sometimes they would be so awed by a very tall mountain they would choose it and lie in wait for a volcano god to arrive, often being disappointed. That explains why non-volcanic mountains are known to have, in history, been viewed as 'holy'. <br />
<br />
Where does god live?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ohmyvolcano.blogspot.com/2011/11/where-does-god-live.html">http://ohmyvolcano.blogspot.com/2011/11/where-does-god-live.html</a><br />
<br />
Their god in residence sign would have been smoke or a lake of fire. Signs of his wrath would have been an eruption. The ancients would often build mounds/temples/pyramids to represent the volcanoes and to perform rituals to entice the god to commune with them. This explains the strong correlation between the locations of volcanoes and the locations of pyramids/temples. The exceptions being due to migration of people and beliefs away from inhospitable volcanic land. There is also a strong correlation between the centres of religion and volcanoes. <br />
<br />
The volcano gods were seen as creator gods because they created new land. Stories based on real accounts, which is what myths were, would have been passed down through the generations and would have included stories about primordial mounds in the sea, 90% of volcanoes being submarine. Volcanoes also eventually make soil enriched with nutrients and they are also a good source of precious gems and metals. The eruptions would often have killed many people given the people lived so close to them, enjoying the rich volcanic soil. These killings would have been viewed as punishment for sins, hence the start of the idea of sinning and god's punishment. The volcano would have been seen to give life in the form of life giving nutrients and new land, and also as taking life away. The volcano would also have been seen as a warlord due to sometimes destroying camps on the other side of the volcano. The rivers of lava or fiery ash tumbling down the sides of the volcano are described as 'chariots of fire' in the Bible and elsewhere.....<br />
<br />
There are thousands of pyramids throughout the world, some we have only just discovered due to them having become overgrown and now looking more like hills. Manmade mounds were built also to bury important people. It was thought the god would visit the mound and take the soul with him. <br />
Throughout the world there is evidence of burial caves in the sides of mountains. This correlates with volcano worship as all mountains were seen as potential landing places/thrones of the fire god who they thought lived in the sky when not being fiery on earth. It is a possibility they believed these gods' normal homes were the stars and the sun, shooting stars looking very much like something travelling. The sky at night then would have been crystal clear and the people would have been very knowledgeable about it and very focused on it seeing as they didn't have a great deal else to look at at night. <br />
<br />
The Israelites are believed to have originated from Mesopotamia, which is a fertile crescent of land adjacent to Mount Ararat, which is a volcano. The land was fertile because of the ash deposits of the volcano. Volcano worship was in-grained in the Israelites. Volcano gods would have been more numerous than any other type of god in ancient times. The tribes of Israel might have originated from various places, as well as Mesopotamia, one place possibly being the Mediterranean during the Santorini fallout. This event went on for many months with a few warning eruptions prior to the major eruption, giving the people of Santorini and Crete plenty of time to escape, which explains why no bodies were found. These people, who lived north of Egypt, would have become refugees in Egypt as well as other places. These refugees will have been labeled 'Habiru', which some people believe was the reason for the name 'Hebrew'. Habiru in Egypt were people living on the fringe of society: slaves, servants, thieves, vagrants, refugees, etc.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ohmyvolcano.blogspot.com/2012/04/did-hebrews-originate-from-habiru.html">http://ohmyvolcano.blogspot.com/2012/04/did-hebrews-originate-from-habiru.html</a><br />
<br />
These Habiru, which might have been the Israelites from Mesopotamia plus the refugees from Santorini, would have lived as subordinates to the Egytians. The Bible states very clearly that the Israelites stole valuables from the Egytians prior to fleeing during the 'ten plagues'. This suggests the Israelites were crooks...Habiru. The Santorini eruption gave the Israelites the opportunity to steal and run, and that is exactly what they did. As they had volcano worship in their history, they thanked the volcano god for his hand in creating the right environment for doing their dirty deed. <br />

<br />
The 'holy land' of Egypt, Sinai, Saudi, Ethiopia, Syria, Israel, Iraq, Iran, etc is holy because it all lies around a rift zone where two continents are ripping the land apart....Africa and Arabia. The waterways of the Holy land are the rips and they are lined with volcanoes, as well as the adjacent land. Saudi and Ethiopia are both very volcanic, which explains why there are Jews in Ethiopia, why Rastafarianism (an Abrahamic religion) originated in Ethiopia and why Mecca and Medina are 'holy' (lying next to volcanoes and massive volcanic harrats). <br />
<br />
<a href="http://ohmyvolcano.blogspot.com/2011/11/red-sea-rift.html">http://ohmyvolcano.blogspot.com/2011/11/red-sea-rift.html</a><br />
<br />
Submerged volcanoes in rivers, such as the Jordan River, were sometimes seen as sea monsters or dragons called Leviathan. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://ohmyvolcano.blogspot.com/2012/07/what-is-leviathan.html">http://ohmyvolcano.blogspot.com/2012/07/what-is-leviathan.html</a><br />
<br />
As the Israelites made off with their stolen stash of valuables, they came across something in the distance that looked like a pillar of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night. As they meandered around the terrain, the pillar appeared to move as though it was guiding them like a 'shepherd'. Instead, of course, the pillar was stationary but appeared to move due to the optical illusion of distant objects moving as you change your perspective. <br />
<br />
As the Israelites approached the pillar, which was the volcano Mount Sinai, they fell to the floor in praise. This was, to them, the god that brought them out of Egypt. This god, which they say looked like a fire on the top of the mountain, was the god they had to thank for their lucky break and god forbid anyone who could deny it, which is why the Bible is riddled with 'don't forget the god that brought you out of Egypt'. <br />
<br />
To the Israelites the glory of the Lord looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain. Exodus 24:17<br />
<br />
Volcano gods were not seen as the actual mountain. They were believed to live inside the top of the volcanoes and make all the magical show happen. They were believed to be able to move from one mountain to another, and this would have been the ancient explanation for domino eruptions along rift zones during massive tectonic movement, which could well have resulted from the Santorini eruption.<br />
<br />
He said: "The LORD came from Sinai and dawned over them from Seir; he shone forth from Mount Paran. He came with myriads of holy ones from the south, from his mountain slopes. Deut 33.2<br />
Myriad of holy ones....<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXIzyK-0rg0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXIzyK-0rg0</a><br />
<br />
You have to analyse the Bible in ancient terms. You have to empathise with the ancient people and try to think as they thought in order to understand what they were looking at. <br />
If you find all this laughable then you are finding history laughable, and that is understandable. The ancient people were laughably superstitious. This whole story has been complicated by people determined to make it into something it's not....magical. It needs to be simplified in order to be understood and portrayed in an honest light.<br />

More to come.....just a draft.<br />

<em></em><br />
<em>Out of all the ‘Creation’ myths of the ancient Egyptians, the ‘Heliopolitan’ version (named after the city of Heliopolis) is the most popular. It is said that in the beginning, the universe was a “formless, watery void” named Nu or Nun. The English word ‘None’ – meaning “nothing” or “zero” may be a derivative of this ancient name. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Out of the waters of Nun emerged a phallic-shaped hill – the ‘primeval mound’. This hill or mound is a metaphor for a vortex or energy – a circular matrix created from its own centre. This creation myth is the origin of the ancient Egyptian Sun symbol – a simple circle with a dot. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Some traditions hold to the idea that the waters of Nun surround this ‘hill’ or ‘mound’ – being the first ‘world mountain.’ However, it would be more correct to say that the “waters” (the potential energy) of ‘Nun’ is at the very centre of the mound – like the lava at the centre of a volcano – being the centre of all creation. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Here, the confusing concept of the ‘World Mountain’ can be further explained in that an analogy was made with the “liquid-fire” (lava) that rises up from the depths or centre of the earth and through a mountain volcano so as to explode in all directions from the truncated summit. We would also note that the Great Pyramid is truncated. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>The sexual imagery was not lost on those who noticed the correspondence between the lava rising upward through the axis of the volcano, the Kundalini prana energy – the mix of ‘fire’ and ‘water’ – rising up through the sushumna of the spine, and the semen, which rises up through the phallus at the climactic moment of sexual intercourse between male and female subjects – again the opposites. </em><br />
<em>In Hindu cosmology, this ancient Egyptian imagery of the energy rising up through the phallus of Atum-Ra and surrounded by the “waters” – the matrix of space – would be interpreted as the male Lingam (erect penis) surrounded by the female Yoni (vagina). It is said that from this union of Lingam and Yoni, the whole universe comes into being. And this would be correct as the sexual act reflects the fusion of opposites; the same mechanistic process that goes on within one’s consciousness and also at the microcosmic levels of reality; the “seeds” from which all things are being continually created and recreated. </em><br />
<br />
<em>In the Egyptian creation myth, it was from this phallic hill, that Atum-Ra, by enfolding his hand around his penis (again demonstrating the union of opposites) masturbated himself to an explosive orgasm – his seed igniting the birth of the Universe and creating all life within it. From this fusion point, the Universe expanded in all complexity – unfolding like a flower through many levels. In the minds of the ancients, this was how the material world became manifest.</em> <br />

<em>Fog Horn, I came across this and thought you might be interested in the thoughts
of people through the history of Ancient Egypt about this thing called 'Benben'
in their religious beliefs and it's relation to ideas about volcanic and seismic
activity. I'm not sure if you've heard of it before. Unfortunately, it doesn't
seem easy to find in-depth research by professional experts about
it.</em></blockquote>

The mound rising up from the waters sounds like a submarine volcano, <a href="http://ohmyvolcano.blogspot.com/2012/07/what-is-leviathan.html" target="_blank">the Leviathan</a> in the Bible.

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">THE DEAD SEA </span></strong><a href="http://www.totheends.com/sodom.html" target="_blank"><em>This is an unstable area.</em></a><em> There is underground heat (thermal energy), as can be seen in the hot springs on both sides of the Dead Sea.* There are also petroleum products, as can be seen in the <strong><span style="font-size: large;">oil slicks that occur regularly on the surface of the water</span></strong>. Big chunks of<strong><span style="font-size: large;"> tar or asphalt occasionally come floating to the surface</span></strong>. This gave the Dead Sea its Roman name: "Lake Asphaltitis" (the Lake of Asphalt). In the time of the New Testament, Josephus reported that there were pieces of tar floating in the water the size and shape of "headless bulls" (Wars 4.479). </em></div>

Discussing recently discovered submarine asphalt volcanoes off the coast of California.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<em>They found brittle cascades of hardened asphalt rippling down the volcanoes' flanks. Though dormant, two still burped bubbles of methane here and there. Some were steep and craggy, looming in total darkness. Some had shallow craters at the top. All were made of solid asphalt.</em><br />
<em> The volcanoes are located in an area of the sea floor where layers of sediment have provided researchers with a kind of geophysical archive, like bands of a tree trunk. There also are tar deposits filled with remnants of ancient marine life. Read more at: </em><a href="http://phys.org/news191775179.html#jCp"><em>http://phys.org/news191775179.html#jCp</em></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Genesis 14:10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and when the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some of the men fell into them and the rest fled to the hills.<br />
<br />
<br />
It certainly looks as though the Dead Sea (Lake Asphalt) is home to some submarine asphalt volcanoes. More to come.<br />

If you are in need of a good laugh then stay with me as I can gaurantee you will find this amusing. It has certainly put a smile on my face. You may have read <a href="http://ohmyvolcano.blogspot.com.es/2013/03/reddit-askhistorians.html" target="_blank">my post</a> about my frustrations with Reddit's Ask Historians and their inability to comprehend the possibility there could ever have been such a thing as a volcano cult worshipping imaginery volcano gods. Yes, I kid you not. Could an expert community be any more lacking in relevant expertise? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Obviously Ask Historians needs to recruit an expert in mythology, theology or even geography as I'm sure any one of them would know this planet has hosted countless volcano cults. There have probably been countless such cults for every volcano in the world, yet try as I may I could not find an expert at Ask Historians who knew the slightest thing about them and they banned me for being more of an expert on the subject than were they.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One pompous person even took it upon himself to defend the ancients from, what he obviously deemed, slander. Maybe he should go to Hawaii and hand out leaflets re-educating the Hawaiians on their own history telling them it was all a big lie and their ancestors always knew what volcanoes were and Pele was in fact a sea goddess.....and so sorry for the offence caused by those awful people. Maybe he needs to head off to Java as well so he can send messages out via loudspeaker to the Hindus who still throw chickens into the volcanoes. 'Hello there. Yoo hoo! Um...just wanted to say I apologise for all that terrible nonesense about you and your people thinking volcanoes were the homes of volcano gods. So so terribly sorry. It was all a silly mistake. How terribly insulting of us?' </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, to get to the punchline you must read through these snippits taken from yet another thread they've started about me on Reddit's Bad History, as if they needed to dig their hole any deeper. I've snipped the whole thread.....there's nothing missing as of today. The last comment seems to have ended their merry banter rather abruptly. See if you can work out why.</div>

<br />
So, after much back slapping, one jock went and put his foot in it and said, 'there certainly is evidence that god was at at least some points in history and effective volcano deity.' Obvisouly he was drunk as his writing was affected along with his judgement. Alcohol often makes a person blurt out the truth when doing so would be frowned upon by peers. <br />
<br />
In time, this will make a great comedy sketch.<br />
<br />
The ending of this comedy sketch suggested Christianity could potentially remain standing on the foundations of a volcano deity. Well, would you put your faith in a dead Jew who claimed to be the son of a volcano deity? <br />

'AskHistorians' should be a place where people get accurate answers to questions about history. However, when the hypothetical question, '<a class="title loggedin click" href="http://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1a2t4g/if_there_are_any_experts_on_volcano_deification/">If there are any experts on volcano deification, could they tell me whether or not these Biblical verses fit with volcano worship?</a>' the first response seemed to come from not a historian with any sense but from a complete hothead called 'brigantus' acting on emotion and prejudice with this laughable knee-jerk reaction...<br />
<br />
<form action="#" class="usertext" id="form-t1_c8tlzslong">
<div class="usertext-body">
<div class="md">
<i>Is "volcano deification" a thing? I've never heard of a society worshipping volcanoes apart from as a cliche in popular culture depictions of 'primitives', which itself is based on a misinterpretation of Hawaiian religion.</i><br />
<br />
He's never heard of a society worshipping volcanoes and he claims to be a historian of some sort? When am I ever going to come across a so called expert who is an honest and sensible expert? <br />
<br />
He was then provided with a long list of civilisations that worshipped imaginary volcano gods but conveniently ignored it and continued to dismiss the idea anyone could ever have worshipped a volcano god or that any volcano could ever have inspired ancient people to invent a volcano god. Not only that but his comments were massively upvoted, obviously by the loyal band of dishonest 'historians' who have no shame but plenty of ego. The thread, despite having eighty-two comments, was quickly 'cleaned up' for some reason, leaving only four comments. Obviously there was a lot of comment history that had to be erased, history obviously not being of much importance to 'historians' on Reddit.<br />
<br />
Brigantus was not finished with me though and created another thread in the subreddit 'BadHistory', parading himself like a peacock in front of his buddies as the man who defended history. Unfortunately for him, he soon realised he should have looking into the subject prior to branding me a fool. He all of a sudden stopped being his cocky self, refused to debate any further (after I asked several questions that could only have resulted in an 'Ok, I was wrong' answer and slithered away. <br />
<br />
The following article was the one that very easily rubbed his nose in his own dirt....<br />

<br />
Brigantus.....you should not only learn how to apologise to women you have so obviously been ungentlemanly towards but you should also change your username to Biganus. It would suit you better. <br />
<br />
I have, of course, been banned from AskHistorians because they do not want to be shown up again but someone who knows more about the history of volcano worship than they do. Their bad history must be defended from the facts. Welcome to the list of Enemies of Free Speech.<br />
<br />
This test of moral courage and the failures of it will make for a fascinating historical story. The list of people who should know and who probably do know but who put everything before saying they do know seems as endless as it is prestigious. <br />

<br />
Please forgive my slapdash review, which was written as the video was playing. <br />
<br />
For starters, I don't like this man's voice. It's forced, fake and loud. It has the hallmarks of someone saying little of importance but with lots of self importance.<br />
<br />
This man says he's come up with an algorithm that can work out all religions in seconds. This man thinks a lot of himself! He also has a low opinion of the minimum complexity of an algorithm. Algorithm...A step-by-step problem-solving procedure, especially an established, recursive computational procedure for solving a problem in a finite number of steps.' Well, he hasn't devised an algorithm at all. <br />
<br />
He says Judaism comes up as the only religion of a god who presented himself to more than one person. However, at Mt Sinai, the masses were told to not touch the mount or go up it or they would be 'shot through'. Some people have suggested that was because there were 'holy' marksmen with bows and arrows at the ready to shoot dead anyone who dared to touch the mountain. In fact, 'shot through' meant hit by a 'fiery dart' or ball of brimstone from the volcano, which is what Mt Sinai was. <br />
<br />
Moses was the one to 'meet with god'. He was some sort of pyschopath (he had already commited murder) who wanted to lord it about the Hebrews and be the top honcho. He had the brovado to scale the mount, returning to the foot of it with a flushed face, which he hid with a scarf. It was obviously hot up there. The 40 days and 40 nights thing is just fiction....filler...as was the god narrative. <br />
<br />
Picture the scene...the Hebrews spot a pillar of smoke by day and a pillar of smoke by night (volcano) in the distance and it appears to move as they meander about (distant constants do seem to move if you change direction), they arrive at it (at which point 'the lord' is said to look like a fire on the top of the mountain) and are so awestruck they get all spooked and mesmerised.<br />
<br />
The algorithm doesn't work because Moses was obviously making it up. He went up to the top of the mountain and hung about for a bit, thinking up a list of rules to apply to the gang of naive people who had followed him. The actual text will have been written long after the event so do not expect it to be accurate. The god narrative was added later by priests who were part of the system...the industry....the machine. <br />
<br />
Moving on with the video <strong>The Rational Approach to Divine Origin of Judaism....</strong><br />
<br />
At timeline 22:01 'People are gullible and given a charismatic leader, they will believe ANYTHING......as long as the lie cannot be checked.'<br />
<br />
How would a group (how many in it we do not know but we cannot assume scripture is accurate...probably is in fact exagerated just like the longevity of the patriarchs to make the religion sound more impressive) be able to check whether or not a big shot man was telling the truth about there being a man-god at the top of the mountain if the big shot had told them to not go up the mountain under any circumstances? They had to take him on his word. <br />
<br />
People will believe anything....especially extremely supersititous people who were easily spooked by the natural world. There is no word for 'volcano' in the Bible because the ancients didn't know what a volcano was. The only references to volcanoes you will find are also references to 'god' or his abode.<br />
<br />
The ancient Hebrews were pre-conditioned to believe Moses's account of the theophany. They automatically believed him. They were seriously spooked by the erupting volcano. They were going to be seriously excited and like sponges for lies. The threat of death for disbelief must also have been an added persuasion.<br />
<br />
Believing volcano gods gave clans laws was not unusual. Most of the world then was worshipping imaginery volcano gods and they all had sets of laws to keep them in tow. If you believe the Sinai theophany then you have to believe in all volcano gods because there is nothing different about it. They even sacrificed animals at the base of Mt Sinai and Yahweh apparently liked the smell of burning flesh. Do you believe a genuine god would like the smell of burning flesh? I have come across a lot of Christians who would argue that one until they were blue in the face and the scholarly interpretations are so wildly laughable it makes me wonder what their motives are and what wacky backy they must be smoking to turn blood letting into something admirable and worshippable.<br />
<br />
The author of the video is now going on and on about how Judaism has survived thus far due to the meme 'Our ancestors heard god speak!'. <br />
<br />
The ancient Hebrews did not need to hear anyone speak at Mt Sinai. They just needed to see the fire, smoke and brimstone balls and hear the thunder. That's it...they were convinced a god lived in the mount. ALL ancients believed there was a god who lived in erupting 'mountains of fire'. They did not need to hear the god say anything. The sights and sounds of a volcano were enough to convince them. The god narrative was added later.<br />
<br />
'Anything that is normal will happen more than once'<br />
<br />
Yes, that is likely. More than once groups of nomadic ancient people have falsely believed volcanoes (Holy Hills) were inhabited by resident deities. In fact, history repeats itself so often there are still people in this world who throw live animals into volcanoes, falsely believing they can appease them. Everywhere in the world where volcanoes or seismic activity is prevalent, there are signs of volcano worship....pyramids being notable. (Bare in mind Mt Sinai was in Arabia and not the Sinai Peninsular).<br />
<br />
Now he is claiming that Judaism is unique (in the last 4000 years) because it is the only religion in which god was said to speak to a group of people. Well, he is wrong. How did history's imaginery volcano gods set their laws and make their faithful clans abide by them if they did not also have tweaked oral tradition that slipped in a god narrative?<br />
<br />
Then he goes into odds and dice...what are the chances of this happening again.....god talking to a group of people? <br />
<br />
Oh dear. I did an engineering degree. It was the wrong degree for me. I should have done something more human. This man is a theology student I believe. He should have done an engineering degree. He puts a lot of effort into making himself sound like a mathematician and uses words like algorithm to make things sound more complex. He attempts to make religion a mathematical puzzle that can be worked out with statistical analysis. In fact, maybe he should have done an acting degree or a marketing degree.<br />
<br />
This is an all too typical mental responce to an over-trained eye in religious studies. Normally it can be seen in the ultra religious acting in a Complusive Obsessive Disordered way....trying to work out Bible code by adding up numbers of letters and finding sequences and ludicrous life wasting things like that. Totally mad. This man is heading that way. He thinks religions can be validated or falsified simply by devising an algorithm or working out probability odds. <br />
<br />
Oh dear again. <br />
<br />
What is, as far as I can see, almost entirely absent from the study of religion is an empathic study of the human mind. This man doesn't talk about how people thought back in ancient times, he doesn't say what their knowledge limiations were, he doesn't say how they reacted to the natural environment, etc. You would have thought all these elements are of no consequence and that all that matters is a mathematical equation as though the components were machines and not people. <br />
<br />
This man has tried to find the needle in the haystack to prove the religion's validity. He's found these tiny little bits, created a dynamic video and added his loud, forceful and egotistical voice to bolster his argument. If you were to take away the dynamism of the video, take away the over-acted voice...what would you have left? Not a lot.<br />
<br />
Yahweh was said to talk to a bunch of desert nomads whereas no god in histiory has ever been said to talk to his people before? Has he studied all of history's gods? Do we even have written records of what other clans did, saw, heard? Of course we don't, but logic tells us that clans in the past had laws and showed obedience to their made-up gods, so these gods must have been said to have passed on their laws or spoken to their people in some way. The Wizard of Oz is a good example....talking from behind the curtain via loud speaker.<br />
<br />
What else is there in his over-dramatised argument? That the odds are high. Hmmmm.....a weak argument made to sound robust. He says, 'We can say this in laymens' terms or mathematical terms'. This man is up himself. Laymen meaning people not as brilliant as he. He falsely sees himself as a mathematician despite the maths he uses being so basic it wouldn't stump a kid. What is really needed is more 'laymen' and less 'mathematician', or should I say 'fake mathematician'?<br />
<br />
This video is only good at conveying one thing....that the maker thinks far too much of himself. He loves the sound of his own voice, he makes claims of his own brilliance ('this algorithm I invented') and is only memorable for his utter neglect of the one thing that could and will solve this puzzle once and for all.....an undertsanding of human nature, in particular the mindset of the ancient people. All that is required is a capacity for empathy, an open mind and an honest heart that aims to discover the truth no matter what it is.<br />
<br />
To conclude, the rational approach to divine, or lack of, origin is to think in human terms, putting yourself into the sandals of the ancient awestruck desert nomads.<br />
<br />
<strong>The Rational Approach to Divine Origin of Judaism </strong>is in fact totally irrational. </div>

<br />
All members of the EDL have probably spent years wracking their brains trying to think of a solution to the creeping Islamisation of England. They are probably all in a state of partial rage at the situation the western world has been forced into against its wishes. I know this because I too have felt the same.<br />
<br />
I handed them the perfect solution on a plate. It was perfect because it was a peaceful solution, it was a cheap solution, it was a fair solution for all concerned, it could have been a quick solution and, most importantly of all, it was based on the truth. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it was obviously not good enough for the organisation that claims to want to defend England. <br />
<br />
To the atheists of the EDL. Thank the theists of the EDL for preventing you from making use of the silver bullet I offered you all. In time, some of you will remember when a woman said it was better to sacrifice Yahweh, the imaginery desert nomad genocidal volcano deity who apparently liked the smell of burning flesh, in order to save England and you will realise how stupid and cowardly the EDL was for not doing it. Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400894962747247905.post-85500380278960204432013-02-23T03:32:00.001-08:002013-02-23T15:17:07.331-08:00Judges 1Judges 1.....an honest appraisal.<br />
<br />
It seems Christians are very good at sniffing out evil wherever they find it unless it's right under their noses in their Bible, or should I say in the Hebrew Bible? To them, genocide is not genocide if it is written in the Old Testament. It suddenly becomes 'necessary divine justice'. Apparently, some towns were so 'evil' and did such 'evil' things that it was necessary to completely.....um......clean the land. Nothing to do with just wanting to grab the land off its occupants then?<br />
<br />
Yes, that does sound just like what the Nazis would say to justify their cleansing of Jews. But Christians don't realise they are condoning Nazi-like genocide. They have been so effectively warped they think their Lord did the right thing in even killing babies. <br />
<br />
I debated with a Christian woman who claimed that killing babies of enemies using 'divine justice' (genocide) was not a big issue as those babies would be taken from an evil situation and put into heaven, an apparently non-evil situation. Well, the Nazis believed as everything was an illusion anyway, killing millions of people was just like switching out a light....no more consequential than that. <br />
<br />
So, let's take a closer look at Judges 1 and see how much 'Jesus' we can find in it. <br />
<br />
<em>1.After the death<sup class="crossreference" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-6511B" title="See cross-reference B">B</a>)"></sup> of Joshua, the Israelites asked the <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span>, “Who of us is to go up first<sup class="crossreference" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-6511C" title="See cross-reference C">C</a>)"></sup> to fight against the Canaanites?<sup class="crossreference" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-6511D" title="See cross-reference D">D</a>)"></sup>” <span class="text Judg-1-2" id="en-NIV-6512"><sup class="versenum">2 </sup>The <span class="small-caps" style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> answered, “Judah<sup class="crossreference" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-6512E" title="See cross-reference E">E</a>)"></sup> shall go up; I have given the land into their hands.<sup class="crossreference" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-6512F" title="See cross-reference F">F</a>)"></sup>”</span></em><br />
<span class="text Judg-1-2"></span><br />
<span class="text Judg-1-2">Given 'than land'. That is a bit of a giveaway. Land grab.</span><br />
<span class="text Judg-1-2"></span><br />

<br />
This video is a good intruduction into the theory the Abrahamic god of Judaism, Islam and Christianity, was an imaginery volcano god. <br />
<br />
Mount Sinai was a volcano in Arabia, probably NW Saudi, the burning bush was a flaming gas leak, the ten plagues of Egypt were caused by the fallout of the Santorini eruption, brimstone was sulfur from volcanoes, the lake of fire was a lava filled crater........<br />
<br />
God/Allah was an imaginery volcano god. That means there is no god and no allah. So, if you have arrived here after seeing a comment on an anti-Islam blog then maybe you should realise the significance of this revelation and start bloody well putting your efforts into something that could actually achieve results.....bring an end to Islam. If that is really what you want of course. I am fairly sure some blog owners will not want that as they earn money from this problem and they also have egos that would be hurt by this massive change in approach. They would suddenly have to re-assess their attitude to a few things and change their speech, and some will not want to do that. <br />
<br />
Why not join the small but active number of people who are commited to this theory and aim to destroy Islam in a more intellectual way....no fighting, no attacking....just educating them on the origins of their religion. Are you prepared to pay the high price for the freedom from Islam? Are you prepared to give up hope of god...to surrender him to the funeral pyre of history's gods along with allah? How much do you want to liberate Europe from the grip of Islam? <br />

<br />
<b>Pagan Volcano Gods</b><br />
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aganju" target="_blank">Anganju</a>'s significance in Cuba in the past is most probably due in part to the fact that he was said to have delivered people out of bondage and helped one to carry the heaviest of burdens.<br />
<br />
<b>Abrahamic Volcano God 'Yahweh'</b><br />
<b></b><br />
Exodus 20:2<b> </b>I <i>am</i> the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">OFFERINGS / SACRIFICES / APPEASEMENT</span></b><br />
<br />
<b>Pagan Volcano Gods</b><br />
<b></b><br />
When the gods seem restless, <a href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/geopedia/Indonesian_Volcano_Culture" target="_blank">believers make offerings</a> of vegetables, money, chickens, and even goats to appease them as well as to bring prosperity.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.namibian.com.na/news/environment/full-story/archive/2011/january/article/an-amazing-lesson-about-the-mountain-of-god/" target="_blank">Oldoinyo Lengai</a> is <span style="font-family: inherit;">also a holy mountain for the Maasai people, just like Namibia’s Ovahimba people believe in their holy fire. He said the Maasai people use the mountain as a site to conduct rituals such as sacrifices and prayers</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The (<a href="http://agutie.homestead.com/files/world_news_map/mummy_inca_girl.html" target="_blank">Inca</a>) children were sacrificed as part of a religious ritual, known as capacocha. They walked hundreds of miles to and from ceremonies in Cuzco and were then taken to the summit of Llullaillaco (yoo-yeye-YAH-co), given chicha (maize beer), and, once they were asleep, placed in underground niches, where they froze to death. Only beautiful, healthy, physically perfect children were sacrificed, and it was an honor to be chosen. According to Inca beliefs, the children did not die, but joined their ancestors and watched over their villages from the mountaintops like angels. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The name "</span><a href="http://www.funtrivia.com/en/subtopics/The-Mythology-of-Volcanoes-149481.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fuji</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">" most likely derives from an Ainu word meaning "fire" or "deity
of fire". The Japanese believed that the god was very</span> powerful, so it needed to
be placated. A shrine was built at the foot of the volcano in AD 806 in order to
keep the mountain from erupting.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://goddesses-and-gods.blogspot.com/2011/11/goddess-masaya.html" target="_blank">Masaya </a>(Mayan volcano god). The Chorotega people used to sacrifice virgins by throwing them into the volcano, hoping that the Goddess would provide divine oracles in return for the sacrifice.<br />
<br />
<b>Abrahamic Volcano God 'Yahweh'</b><br />
<br />
<i>If the offering to the LORD is a burnt offering of birds, he is to offer a
dove or a young pigeon.</i> Leviticus 1:14<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL/</b></span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.squidoo.com/volcano-mythology" target="_blank">Monadalkni</a> flew into a rage and called down the Curse of Fire. The top of Moy-Yaina exploded. Five great bursts sent ash, boulders and fire high into the sky. A devastating flood of flame and hot stones swept across the forests. Gmok'am'c, the Good Chief who made his dwelling on Mt. Shasta, heard their prayers and was moved by their sacrifice. He came down to battle the Chief of the World Below. The battle was terrible. The two mountains threw fire and rocks at each other. At last, the Good Chief thrust Monadalkni under Moy-Yaina, jamming debris down the entrance to the underworld to seal it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/book/export/html/1015" target="_blank">Christians</a> of Europe saw Hekla as a doorway to the underworld and as one of two known entrances to Hell or Purgatory. When people would see lava bombs and other projectiles fly from the volcanoes <a class="glossary-term" href="http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/glossary/1/letterc#term29"><cite title="A steep-sided, usually circular depression formed by either explosion or collapse at a volcanic vent.">crater</cite></a>, they believed the fragments were actually spirits. These bombs often hissed as they flew (due to the cooler temperature of the air) and these noises were interpreted as the souls screaming out in pain. Because Hekla was associated with the underworld, people abroad also thought that it was a meeting place for witches and magicians and patrons of dark magic. Still others saw Iceland's jagged lava flows and rugged mountains as an ancient battlefield. It was on this battlefield where immortal gods had once waged war against one another. As they fought, they had shaped the land with blows of fists and swords. Nearly every myth and legend about the volcano is in some way connected to evil and the demonic.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://volcano.oregonstate.edu/book/export/html/1015" target="_blank">The</a> Klamath Indians of the pacific Northwest tell a legend about a fight between two chiefs. Llao was the chief of the Below World and was at Mount Mazama in Oregon. Skell was the chief of the Above World and stood at the summit of Mount Shasta in northern California. The two mountains are only a hundred miles apart. As darkness covered the land the two chiefs threw rocks and flames at each other. Llao, injured, fell back inside of Mount Mazama and was never seen again.<br />

MOUNT Cameroon, also called Mount Fako, also called Buea Mountain but
most fondly called “The chariot of the gods” is the only mountain in
Cameroon which has also been recorded as a volcanic mountain, with a
horrifying eruption record Cameroonians have been trying to erase from
memory for over 10 years. Mount Fako is believed to be guarded from
erupting again by a man-eater god named <a href="http://fortheinterim.com/mount-fako-volcanic-mountain-in-cameroon/">Epasa Moto</a>. Efasa-Moto is the
folkloric god of the Fako Mountain.<br />

At the center of each patio, families built small shrines consisting of
mountains modeled from clay, stone, and potsherds crowned with crudely carved
heads humans or <a href="http://archive.archaeology.org/9807/abstracts/volcano.html" target="_blank">serpents</a>. Some are clearly effigies of Popocatépetl. Beneath
each carved stone head is a chimney that leads to a charcoal-filled chamber dug
in the patio floor. Smoke would have puffed out from under each head in
imitation of the ash and vapor plumes expelled from the crater during volcanic
activity. The most fascinating part of Sahagún's account is that the mountain models are
given human faces. In fact, the Spanish text indicates that each mountain was
given two faces, one human and one serpent. <br />

Behaviors attributed to Wy'east include hurtling of hot rocks from gaping holes, sending forth <a href="http://www.crystalinks.com/volcanomyth.html" target="_blank">streams of liquid fire</a>, loss of formerly high summits, and choking of valleys with rocks. <br />

some 1,500 years.<br />

Because Erciyes was always snow-covered, the <a href="http://www.cappadociaexclusive.com/geological.html" target="_blank">Hittites</a> (second millennium to 1200 BC) called it "Harkasos" or "White Mountain." The Hittite pantheon included a number of mountain gods, including Erciyes. From the region of Imamkulu in Cappadocia, a 13th century BC Hittite rock carving depicting a storm god above three mountain gods, furnishes proof of the Hittite veneration of Cappadocian volcanoes. A Hittite bas-relief from Malatya dating from 1000 BC portrays the weather god (prototype of Zeus) slaying a coiled serpent. Flames and volcanic bombs issue from the serpent's body, which might symbolize volcanoes.<br />

A number of taboos also surround Merapi. One includes a <a href="http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2006/05/12/myths-and-mysticism-surround-merapi.html" target="_blank">prohibition on mentioning the volcano by name</a>. Locals believe that to do so could bring them bad luck. When referring to Mt. Merapi they therefore prefer to use the words ""<i>Si Mbah</i>"" instead.<i>Si Mbah</i> means ""elderly person"" or ""respected figure"", used for the volcano as an expression of respect. <br />
<br />
For a long time they kept <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/volcano-mythology" target="_blank">Giiwaas</a> -- their name for Crater Lake -- a secret, fearing and revering it, visiting it only for spirit quests. <br />

<br />
Dear God,<br />
<br />
I know you are wrathful because you are spewing out smoke from your nostrils and pouring out volcanic lava down your mountain like rivers of fire. It is coming from before you in every direction, so you must be very very mad. We're not sure what we have done wrong so we shall get very paranoid wracking our brains to try to work it out. You sure do spot absolutely everything bad we do don't you? Nothing escapes your notice. <br />
<br />
We have killed lots of animals in a very precise way, as we are sure you have seen, but you are still angry. You have shot out fire and brimstone at us, which hurt a lot. What did we do to upset you? We must make our rules more strict and enforce them with an iron fist in order to appease you. We must even go to the lengths of stoning young women who dare kiss their boyfriends. You seem so easy to upset that we feel every single indiscetion must be stamped, or stoned, out. Rest assured, we are doing everything we can to ensure your complete satisfaction. <br />
<br />
We were wondering when it might be possible to finally meet you. We know you are in residence by the fire and smoke on the top of the mountain and the rivers of lava fire pouring down the mountain. Why can you not just stick your head out to say hello? You remind us of the wizard in The Wizard of Oz. Can't you metaphorically peep from around the curtain? We just want to say hello to our god. It is a mystery. <br />
<br />
I know you were the god that brought us out of Egypt because all the signs are the same....darkness, smoke, clouds, hail (not normal hail but volcano hail), lightning, loud noises, etc. We were told what you looked like when you resided inside Santorini. Gosh....what a show you put on! You sure are the god of gods. Never in our lives have we heard of such an awesome god. You gave us the opportunity to get out of Egypt with lots of gold and treasure so we are eternally grateful to you. We saw your ensign as we travelled: your column of smoke during the day and the column of fire at night. We were so excited to see it as it matched what we had heard about your Santorini show. Wow! The amazing god that destroyed the Egyptians had gone ahead of us to lead us to him! We feel honoured, special even. Yes! We are so special and so grateful to you, our Lord, for choosing us. We shall never ever forget how you helped us steal all that gold and leggit into the desert. <br />

<br />
That is a question all Christians should be asking themselves and their vicars and the fact they are not doing that and have not been doing that is possibly the most amazing phenomena in the history of mankind. The human mind is a truly amazing thing; what it can make a person do is staggering. <br />
<br />
The reason why there is so much fire in the Bible is because Yahweh, the god of the ancient Hebrews, was a nature god....specifically a volcano god. In other words, there is no god but the Hebrews believed there was one sitting on the top of an erupting volcano. I will keep adding verses later on. Please spread the good news that none of us will suffer any fiery wrath. Kids will love you for it.<br />

Smoking mountain? Hmmm....tough one that one. What the hell could a smoking mountain be? Thunders and lightning....yes, both common during eruptions. Trumpet blast? Ok, so volcanoes make trumpet sounds due to the magma shooting up the chamber just like blowing into a horn.....but I can't possibly admit to not being in the know. What?!! Are you crazy? I need more evidence. <br />

'Thick darkness'. Getting closer....getting hotter!!! I need more evidence though as I'm living in a bubble that suits my lifestyle and my wardrobe of clothes would be good for nothing if my bubble burst.<br />

Gross! Choppy choppy! Ok, so volcano cults set up altars at the base of volcanoes and proceed to slit lots of throats and do lots of blood letting. Isn't the wine in church a symbol of blood? Aren't the candles symbols of fire on the altar? It's just too gross to acknowledge. I need more evidence!<br />

Thunder...check. Lightning.....check...thick cloud on top of mountain....double check. Trumpet sound......check. Frightening.....check. But I don't WANT to believe it! I'd be ordinary like everyone else if I did. I haven't got a clue how to be ordinary. Do they do classes? I need more evidence!!!<br />

Smoke everywhere! Oh Lord, what kind of god lives in a mountain covered in smoke??! The smoke of a furnace??? Like loads of thick smoke going up in a 'column of smoke'? Ok, that column of smoke is remeniscent of the column of smoke that the Hebrews walked towards when they left Egypt. That column looked like fire at night and smoke by day. Hmmmm...... Ok, I'd be a damn fool to deny it but I'd rather be a fool than accept it because if I accept it I will have to do something about it and I'm sooo scared!!! I've not changed my mind on anything since I decided I did in fact like sprouts. I need more evidence!<br />

Oh holy smoke!!! God's glory is fire??? The glory of god is lava coming out of a volcano? Are you telling me that all I need to enjoy a bit of divine glory is to gaze at the one bar fire in my bathroom with the lights off? Hey, you know what, I've done that and it does make you go kinda glazed and wooey. I'm buying a THREE bar fire today and will have a triple glory fest! Glory glory glory!!! But I still don't buy this volcano god idea because I like to be the first to come up with great ideas and therefore I'm going to scupper your plans and enjoy your suffering. Ha! Ok, show me one more bit of juicy evidence and you might just sway my stubborn butt.<br />

He was staring at a three bar fire on the top of the mountain and knew he was being naughty so covered it up with a pashmina! I know how rosie it makes your cheeks! Ha...you thought you were so clever with your volcano god idea but all along I had the answer! No....not a volcano, not a spaceship, not a god but a three bar fire! Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2
