“Religion of peace,” everybody! Inciting people to distrust and avoid one another.
I just found the most secular religion: the Baháʼí Faith. This shit is peak. 😭 Jokes aside, it would make an awesome anime.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Sin (Nanna) the moon god, Shamash (Utu) the male sun god, and Ishtar (Inanna) the Venus goddess? If Shamash and Ishtar were Sin’s children, doesn’t that conflict with Nielsen’s moon father, sun mother, Venus son triad?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Sin (Nanna) the moon god, Shamash (Utu) the male sun god, and Ishtar (Inanna) the female goddess associated with Venus? And in many Mesopotamian traditions, weren’t Shamash and Ishtar the children of Sin rather than the sun deity being Sin’s wife? If so, wouldn’t that conflict with Nielsen’s South Arabian triadic model of a moon father, sun mother, and Venus son?the source of this question
What’s the scholarly consensus on this book? Is it considered reliable, or is it basically trash?
Did Gertrude Caton Thompson’s The Tombs and Moon Temple of Hureidha (1944) actually report crescent moon symbols, or is that Robert Morey’s interpretation? Also, did she identify the deity as the Hadramitic Syn rather than the Mesopotamian Sin?
In Gertrude Caton Thompson’s The Tombs and Moon Temple of Hureidha (1944), are there actually crescent moon symbols among the excavated finds? Robert Morey claims that “the symbols of the crescent moon and no less than 21 inscriptions with the name Sin were found in this temple,” but the reproductions in his book are too poor to verify. Does Thompson herself explicitly describe crescent symbols, and is the deity she identifies the Hadramitic god Syn rather than the Mesopotamian Sin?
Is there any archaeological or textual evidence that Almaqah married the sun goddess Shams and had children with her?

What are your views on this theory? If possible, could someone provide maps showing where these excavations took place?
How does a statue at tel-hazor prove it’s a meccan moon deity? And if daughters of god idols were excavated at Hazor as well, how does that connect them to Allah being a moon god? Having the same number of daughters does not necessarily mean they were the same deity and that’s assuming the idol belonged to a moon god in the first place.

Of the moon deities associated with these sites Sin (Harran), Nanna/Sin (Ur), the debated lunar deity at Hazor, Almaqah (Marib), the moon deities of Timna, and Syn (Hadramawt) how many are actually attested in archaeological or textual sources as having married a female sun goddess and fathered three daughters associated with the stars?
Is there a scholarly consensus that the Hadramitic Syn was simply the Mesopotamian Sin transplanted into Arabia?

Some Quranic verses I found interesting while reading Al-Bura
My boy J’onn J’onzz will reportedly appear in Man of Tomorrow.
Even before JoJo Araki was writing GOATED material.
One of the reasons the Riddler in The Batman (2022) was so impactful is that he was inspired by a real-life serial killer, the Zodiac. What do y’all think about Matt Reeves taking inspiration from real-life crimes?
Just found this bizarre (no, this is not a JoJo reference) comic, or rather, a Chick tract, called Allah Had No Son. I’m not a scholar, but I genuinely think this thing needs to be studied for its historical inaccuracies. 😭
