321. Catastrophe and Divine Fires [Books] [de Grazia books]
... upon the very words and acts of Moses, that the Israelites shunned the gods of the sky-the sun and moon, planets, and stars and would not fashion religious images. Although Yahweh is reconciled to the existence of other gods, he is zealous to be first and exclusive with his chosen people, on pain of their destruction ... Apis [32]. Enough sights, apparitions, effects, events, and experiences come with a large-body near-collision to supply readily all the personnel and myths of a full-fledged religion. Yet Moses was not alone in rejecting the absolute identification of a comet as a mainstay of his god. Generally so-called planetary, solar, or lunar religions are ...

322. The Lord Of Light [Journals] [Aeon]
... (89) A problem may exist with Rosenberg's assumption that the Sakaia was in any way connected with Sirius. It is difficult, if not impossible, to see what religious or astronomical role Sirius could play in either the river-bereft country of Persia or the land of Mesopotamia whose riverine overflows were completely unpredictable and independent of regularized astronomical phenomena. ... 1980. Introduction Among other things, Worlds in Collision presented- within the framework of a cosmic catastrophic scenario- a compelling case for a common astral origin of the world's religions. Later authors- notably Cardona, Greenberg, Sizemore, D. Talbott, Cochrane, Maccoby, Tresman, and Newgrosh- have provided additional support for this hypothesis ...

... quite exciting - meteors were worshipped universally and this was apparently very true of Egypt also - but you would not think so if you read conventional and standard books on Egyptian religion. The Phoenix was depicted in art as a grey heron, or a crane, which was not accidental - they were migratory birds and it is clear that the ... my interest in the book was the way in which they saw an important role for meteors in the past, and it became obvious they played a dramatic role in Egyptian religio-myth. Unfortunately, the authors assumed meteors are simply meteors and they possess known and acceptable origins. I had the impression that if Bauval and Gilbert had taken on board ...

The mountain of sexualized religious myths rose like a new volcano. Saturn the god was identified by the Romans with the planet Saturn.

(16) Cultural Evolution and Planetary Identification The evolution and peregrinations of individual religious cults must also be taken into account when investigating the ancient's planetary identifications. It is known, for example, that Marduk replaced Enlil in the religious reforms initiated by ... primarily from Old World traditions. As comparative mythologists we all have a lot to learn from Velikovsky. First with regard to his brilliant insights into the planetary origins of ancient religion; and secondly from his oversights concerning the problems of planetary identifications. Indeed, as Nietzsche once observed, the errors of great men are often more fruitful than the ...

Magic ... his fever left his body. The powers that acted in the Heavens were manifested to humans amidst increasing disaster. In terror, self-abasement and pleading, man created a Uranus-Heaven religion and hoped for cosmic tranquility. Unanimously the legends of the world acknowledge the human to be an imperfect creation; some have him created more than once, as for ...

In doing so he reveals the sloppiness and shallowness of his thinking, rapidly becoming silly and credulous when he turns to the evidence of religious art.
