>The old Mesopotamian paganism was a great thing.... Paganism was the biggest thing in the world.... >There were at least three components to the old paganism.... >The first is the sense of piety....the natural religious instinct to respect something greater than yourself.....the humility that instinctively realizes man's subordinate place in the great scheme of things. xxx Isn't that BEAUTIFUL! You hit the nail on the head! >A second ingredient of the old Mesopotamian paganism... is some sort of an objective morality. To ancient Assyrians, pagan as they were, moral rules were absolute: unyielding and unquestionable. xxx I cut out the crap you wrote about abortion, but this part was good, too. : ) >A third ingredient of the old Mesopotamian religion... is the awe at something transcendent, the sense of worship and mystery. What the old Mesopotamian worshiped differed widely.... xxx Thanks for that. It was refreshing reading these parts of your post. --------------------- |
