Hey, you wanna learn about ancient Mediterranean religions? Did you know Yahweh is a divorced dad?
Sources:
Crecganford - Asherah, Wife of God
Religion For Breakfast, YWHW Had a Wife?
Esoterica, Who is Yahweh
go on...
Please see edit.
Source? I knew he was a philandering asshole, but I didn't know he was divorced before he met Mom.
Shit, maybe he wasn't... now I need a damn drink. Anyone got a spare water bottle?
Both of you, hurry up and provide me with more information now that I am interested and therefore invested
My guess is the fact that his son had to go through a whole lot of shit to be able to live with him after growing up with his stepdad.
Still pretty tenuous. It takes a lot of liberties with the source materials to arrive at that destination

Religion For Breakfast and Esoterica on YouTube. There are a number of videos on Asherah stones found in pre-Israelite temples next to the Yahweh stones..
I do want to know this!! Is the divorce an interpretation of the decline of Asherah worship?
Ding ding ding you win!

That's the sort of knowledge I have no interest in retaining long-time, but am always curious to read up on for hours and hours.
