Patterns in monotheism & human psychology

RE: Patterns in monotheism & human psychology
Quote:Monotheist religion all originated in the areas of middle east which is apparently deserts.


Only if you give the OT far more credit than it deserves.


The earliest monotheistic religions arose ( briefly ) in Egypt and specifically not in the desert part, and Zoroastrianism in Iran.

Zoroaster's Ahura-Mazda had a lot more staying power than Akenaten's "Aten."

I recommend William Dever's "Did God Have A Wife" for your reading pleasure.

Hello, Jase, btw.
