I have to disagree, because I think s...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />I have to disagree, because I think some pagan "gods" arose from the darker sides of our fallen human nature. Moloch and the Aztec gods, with their lust for human sacrifices, comes to mind. And that has to include Hindu "gods" like Kali as well. I think people like the Thugs invent gods who would commend their evil<br /><br />And, with Jihadist Islamic fanaticism, we are STILL religiously motivated murder and slaughter today.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!

Of course the Thugi cult was evil but so is any religiously motivated murder.<br />Paul.Paul Shackleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04180596532266581425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538502828554372917.post-73465223597010803332016-12-09T16:25:43.872+00:002016-12-09T16:25:43.872+00:00Kaor, Paul!

Both of the Taverners are far too kindly and HUMAN to be any kind of Satanic, destructive spirits.<br /><br />SeanSean M. Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973738112230622557noreply@blogger.com
