"our likeness"??
How many gods were there, and was one named Asherah?
. the patriarchs of the hebrew tradition ran an organized system to kill off the goddess religion.
Well yes we cannot ignore the anti-Canaanite agenda of the Torah and the brutal way in which they axed Asherah
out of the picture.
when there's earth changes due to climate change, and things become a bit more harsh, then even religion can change?
nothing wrong with worshipping an urth god, but at some point worshipping a sky-god seemed to be a bit more profitable?
the patriarchy was doing it's best to protect, and allow the survival of the human race under dramatic climatic changes?
(i don't know, as i wasn't there). but when the human struggle for survival kicks into high gear, then drastic changes can occur?
