Zarathustra is the author of the idea of monotheism, not the Jews the creation of man from the earth and the flood is a tale of the Sumerians, not the Jews Jewish plagiarists do you agree but Jews must still be loved like Germans and Englishmen
All religion is plagiarism. There's only a few good stories that can convince people that if they give the one guy who won't go on the hunt all the best cuts of mammoth he'll help the Great Sky Fairy to make them all live forever. Everything's a variation on that.
There is a strong possibility that the Jews were heavily influenced by Zoroastrianism. And Judaism didn't start off as monotheistic. However, several civilizations had monotheism. And I'd call Zoroastrianism more ditheistic than monotheistic.
Of course the Jewish religion was based of some ancient myths, the best example is the story of Gilgamesh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_Gilgamesh Freud wrote a book claiming that Moses was an Egyptian priest of God Akhenaten: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_and_Monotheism My favored Goddess is Aphrodite. If your wife complained that your salary is too low, you will go to Aphrodite Temple for a quickie, and Aphrodite will arrange the salary rise.
It's a decent theory, though the Zarathustra one is probably stronger. Regardless, there were monotheistic traditions all over the world. Oof, I'm more of an Athena guy myself. And according to Homer, Athena punched Aphrodite during the Trojan war.
Not true in the IT business, where the majority people with higher salaries are Chinese, Indian, Russian and others.
I am of the belief that the most ancient Intelligence actually "evolved" in what could be termed Energy from Quantum Vacuum. I believe that as of 2022 the Being of Light of near death experience fame is very much into PRODUCING EIGHT BILLION infinitely valuable reality film programs....... all of this life is indeed a "stage" of sorts. www.near-death.com/ That is my conclusions after reading many of these near death experience accounts..... especially those that go into the pre-existence of the human spirit or soul long before our conception as a human. I believe that the events of the first five books of the Bible are true.... and actually happened........ and in a way the Being of Light of NDE fame was showing off.... .but we are now going into a GREATER EXODUS THAN THE EXODUS FROM EGYPT!!!!
