>>11771504>thought of as a "god" and a skydaddy punishing humanity There were 2 types of religions in the ancient world: the worship of the planets and stars as magical deities aka "Gods" (which is where Atonism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam comes from), and the European-style Paganism, which was the belief in reincarnation and that nature and animals have spirits.
In stark contrast to the religions which worshiped actual planets as gods, the gods in /most/ of the European lands (and many Asian lands) were not planets or other celestial objects, but rather symbols (Odin for example is a symbol of one's ancestors, Valhalla is the womb of the mother you return to after dying, etc) of things found in nature on Earth (not up in the sky), encoded into mythological language. Those religions were heavily based on scientific observations of how nature worked and how human biology functioned, and the only "superstitious" aspect were reincarnation and the belief in souls/spirits.
Jews worshiped Saturn as their god and called it Yahweh. Other ancient names of Saturn include Shamash, Satan, Helios (yes, the name Helios referred to Saturn; not The Sun) and Chronos/Kronos. Probably much of their psychopathic behavior can be explained by them worshiped a planetary body which was thought to cause the devastation and mass death (which ensued in the breakup of the system) and which was suddenly torn away. A people believing a planet/star is a deity isn't healthy to begin with, but when all hell breaks loose and that "god" (who previously reigned supreme in a paradisical period of tranquility) suddenly leaves & disappears, it probably causes all sorts of psycho trauma and fucks you up as a people.
The cataclysm ensuing in the breakup is where the Jews got to idea Yahweh needed human sacrifice in the form of children. In their messed up state of mind, they believed they could stop the destruction by "pleasing" Saturn by burning children as offerings to it.
