That someone was a pig! And he was found guilty of being an animal that was sacred to Seth, the Lord God of Chaos, Confusion, Storms, Wind and Desert, among other things.
Not exactly a nice bloke, so no one dared to mess around with him or his sacred animals, among which was the hippopotamus, which was at times mistaken for poor piggy and which was why piggy got itself elevated to being Seth's sacred animal.
Thus the ancient Egyptians won't eat piggy, and so the Hebrews, who adopted many of ancient Egyptian customs like circumcision, matriarchal lineage, written script* and of course monotheism, also adopted the no-pork eating observation.
* while the general scholarly position thus far has been that the Hebrew script came from the Phoenicians, some have asserted that it was from the ancient Egyptians, who possessed three types of scripts, namely hieroglyphs, hieratic and demotic.
In a delightful book titled In the Devil’s Garden: A Sinful History of Forbidden Food Stewart Lee Allen the author informed us that:
Historians fancy the notion that Jewish pig phobia stems from their stint as slaves in Egypt during the time when the cult of the god Seth held pigs to be exalted beasts.
This may also explain the curious reports that certain Jewish cults used to have secret pork feasts once a year. According to scholar Frederick Simoons, when Seth was overthrown, his beloved spareribs became taboo for Egyptians, save for a yearly feast held at the full moon, a habit some Jews might have picked up.
Why the full moon? Because the original sacred animal was not the pig, but the similar-looking hippo, which according to ancient Egyptian belief, lived on the Moon. Hippos live on the Moon? Well, yes; the idea is that while some Pharaoh was meditating on the full moon reflected on the Nile, a hippo emerged from the reflection ...

I wonder whether by chance Islam had adopted Judaism's dietary restriction on the pig? If so, I again wonder whether the above discussion on Judaism could in some ways provide some background 'for' (not 'to') the several brouhaha's today, about:
(a) the rather sad attention-seeking pair, the bah-kut-teh Alvivi sweethearts, and
(b) the current topic on the Malaysian version of New York Times showing pig faces in a photo being blacked out - see Malaysian Printer Blacks Out Faces Of Pigs On The Cover Of The New York Times.

(2) Piggy Politics
(3) A pig of a problem (2)
(4) A pig of a problem (3)
(5) Pigs, politics, polemics, pollution, propaganda, profits
(6) Pigs: "Stop misusuing us for your sinister religious agenda!"
(7) Cats versus Pigs - Which go first?

(8) BolehTalk's The Pig on Noah's Ark.
In the wake of spicy stir-fried chillie-belacan kangkung, where PKR pollies showed they are as defiant as Fr Lawrence Andrew, wakakaka, but sadly without giving a thought to the ordinary people who may become collateral damage to their hubris, I would imagine pigs, pork, piggery and pai-kuat-cha* would right now be marvellous material for politics, politicians and processed prejudice!
* that's in Canto, and is better known in Hokkien as bah-kut-teh
We have already discussed above why the ancient Hebrews and their descendants the Israelites, Judeans and Jews, won’t eat pork, that it's all because of an Egyptian god named Seth which was represented by a hippopotamus or a pig! Many Hebrews had adopted the worship of Egyptian gods.
Indeed, we are informed by Professor Baruch Halpern, who holds the Chaiken Family Chair in Jewish Studies, in his book David’s Secret Demons: Messiah, Murderer, Traitor, King, ...
... that the Hebrews had other gods beside Yahweh, including his consort Ashtoreth, though no deeply religious Jew or Christian is likely to accept Halpern's revelation, in the same manner no devout Christian would ever believe Jesus was married even though he was a rabbi, where only a married man could be a rabbi.
 |
| Ashtoreth |
Thus, we shouldn't be surprised about the Hebrews and Israelites worshiping many gods including Egyptian ones like Seth.
Regarding the above, 2 Kings 23:11-14 (KJV) tell us about King Josiah's action:
11 And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of theLord, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
12 And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
13 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
14 And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves*, and filled their places with the bones of men.
"What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not."
12 And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
13 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
14 And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves*, and filled their places with the bones of men.
* the word 'grove' in the Bible means a wooden image, or a pillar representing Ashtoreth, a sensual Canaanitish goddess (and said by Professor Baruch Halpern to be the consort of Yahweh), probably usually set up in a grove

Incidentally, Josiah was notorious as the Taliban-like King of the Judeans. He became so after his high priest Hilkiah 'accidentally' (wakakaka) found a scroll known as the 'Book of Laws of Yahweh by the hands of Moses' while clearing the temple's treasure room which apparently had laid untouched/unseen for eons (wakakaka), until of course Hilkiah by chance 'came across' it (wakakaka).
The scroll was 'claimed' (wakakaka) to have been handed by Moses over to Joshua before the latter invaded Canaan.
Apparently the scroll threatened the Judeans with divine calamities if its laws were not followed, and a worried Josiah went about smashing everything up including altars and worship established by his ancestors including Solomon. His fave actions were executing priests (of course not those allied to Hilkiah, wakakaka) and exhuming dead ones so as to burn their bones - he was one frightening Taliban-ish freak. He effectively started a new extreme form of Judaism.
 |
| King Josiah and his Judeans, the original Talibans |
But he was killed by Pharaoh Necho II when the latter went to support the Assyrians against the Babylonians. Josiah under the incorrect assessment that the Egyptians were weak tried to stop them at Megiddo. Apparently Necho gave Josiah a strange message via an envoy (2 Chronicles 35:21):
"What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not."
Josiah refused to give way, and was killed by the Egyptian. The reason the Judeans gave for his death was that he ignored god's instructions as provided by Necho II. This was the strangeness I mentioned in Necho's message to Josiah: "... for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not."

| Pharaoh Necho II |
Now, which or whose god was it that Necho mentioned, the Egyptian god or the Judean's Yahweh, or were they the same god for both?
Anyway, one could argue that the trouble started when Noah took on board a pair each of pigs, rabbits, camels, hares, etc. But one can't help but wonder why in the first place would god allow these non-kosher (haram) creatures to embark on the ark? You tell me!
This brings us finally to Malaysiakini's Netizens greet censorship of pigs with dismay.
I don't know whether to be amused by or annoyed with some of the comments regarding the blackening out of the pigs' faces, such as (just a small sampling):
"Later, people would accidentally eat pigs because they don’t know how pigs look like, ain’t it?"
"Like cats, pigs too have the right to have their photos taken to show their cuteness."
"Take it in good faith. The pig’s face is censored because it does not want its identity to be exposed. Privacy must be respected, even that of animals."
"Pig’s faces go censored. This is belittling God’s creation. Pigs are God’s creation too!"
"It takes one of the online portals to play up the babi issue and voila! People will forget about the Japanese flag stomping. Well played."
"Pig’s faces go censored. This is belittling God’s creation. Pigs are God’s creation too!"
Some of those comments were made by Malays (Malay names anyway), and there's even one which blamed PKR, wakakaka, as follows:
"It takes one of the online portals to play up the babi issue and voila! People will forget about the Japanese flag stomping. Well played."
Frankly, was there even a necessity to comment on the silliness or over-cautiousness of the local publisher of the New York Times? Somehow I find the reactions to that silliness perhaps even more silly. There's a Penang saying about this: Chnea paah boe soo choe! (translated loosely, it means 'aren't there better things to do?')
But I think the current political climate is indeed what we fear, where anything on the other side that now moves, breathes, or even stay still to play dead, will be hentam kau kau for political gains [sigh], so kangkung move aside please.
“Anyway, one could argue that the trouble started when Noah took on board a pair each of pigs, rabbits, camels, hares, etc. But one can't help but wonder why in the first place would god allow these non-kosher (haram) creatures to embark on the ark? You tell me!”

Riwayat Lahirnya Babi, Tikus, dan Kucing
Bahtera yang membawa orang-orang mukmin dan makhluk-makhluk lainnya berlayar dengan tempat tujuan yang belum pasti. Sementara itu disebabkan oleh banyaknya makhluk hidup di atas bahtera, dan pengaturan pembuangan kotoran manusia dan binatang yang tidak memadai, akhirnya di atas bahtera dipenuhi oleh kotoran para penumpangnya. Nabi Nuh pun memohon kepada Allah SWT untuk menghilangkan kotoran yang menumpuk itu.
Melalui Jibril, Allah SWT memerintahkan kepada Nabi Nuh untuk menyapu dahi seekor gajah. Setelah diikuti perintah itu, keluarlah dari belalai tersebut sepasang babi. Oleh binatang itu, kotoran-kotoran di dalam bahtera dimakannya. Para pengikut Nabi Nuh keheranan menyaksikan takdir Allah yang demikian.
Namun oleh Iblis, yang ikut di dalam bahtera itu, bagian belakang dari babi itu disapunya. Lalu muncullah dari hidung babi tersebut sepasang tikus Tikus-tikus itu ternyata menggerogoti papan-papan bahtera dan barang-barang yang ada. "Dari mana sebab datangnya semua ini dihabisi seluruh isi bahtera ini," ujar Nabi Nuh heran.
Jibril mendatangi beliau, dan mengatakan, "Iblislah yang empunya kerjaan itu. Disapunya bagian belakang babi, kemudian keluarlah binatang itu, ya Nuh. Sapulah oleh Tuan bagian belakang harimau itu, niscaya dikeluarkan oleh Allah Ta’ala binatang yang membunuh tikus itu”.
Benarlah, tatkala Nabi mengusap bagian belakang harimau, maka keluarlah sepasang kucing yang kemudian segera memburu tikus-tikus sebagai makanannya. Demikianlah, sejak kejadian itu, tikus dengan kucing menjadi bermusuhan.
Nabi Nuh a.s. penasaran terhadap perbuatan Iblis, maka ia pun bertanya kepadanya, "Apa sebabnya engkau sapu bagian belakang babi itu, adakah firman Allah terhadap hal yang demikian itu?"
Iblis menyahut, "Kulihat Tuan menyapu belalai gajah, maka dikeluarkan oleh Allah Ta’ala sepasang babi. Maka kusapu pula bagian belakang babi, maka Allah mengeluarkan tikus. Bahwa kehendak Tuan pun dikabulkan, dan kehendak aku pun dikabulkan juga oleh Allah Ta’ala."

Just bcoz of a religious hearsay that cant be proven, an living being is been condemned!
DeleteDo u known that anatomically& possibly genetically, pig is closer to human than the often quoted primate? That's one reason why many regenerative organ transplants r using piggy 'base'.

What a mind, some more England educated!!!!
Excuse me Anon 10.55am. "What a mind, some more England educated!!!!" Yes, I must admit that I am England educated. But I do not expect you to hurl that statement at me, especially from an educated person like you. An intellectual of your caliber at least should check a few basic facts before putting pen to paper.
DeleteDid you see the words ‘quote’ and ‘unquote’? It means that this is not my opinion. I did not say I agree with the ‘riwayat’ (history) or to indicate that the 'riwayat' is true. If I agree I must say it and substantiate it. Did I agree? I did not, ok? If you want to know more about the aforesaid ‘riwayat’, just ask me lah… I can give you the link.
Now, from my reading of this post: ‘Pet of God Seth’ which is also a ‘riwayat’ and where you can also hear KT wakakaka all the way... KT did not say he agrees or it is true. Thus, to me I can also read the title as ‘Pet of Satan Seth’ because Seth is the creator of “Chaos, Confusion, Storms, Wind and Desert, among other things”. Wakakaka. But KT is a brilliant writer. This post is not about ‘Pet of God Seth’. You must read what KT writes along the line and also in between the lines. He wrote about ‘babi’ and ‘kankung’. He also highlighted this: “and there's even one which blamed PKR, wakakaka, as follows:"It takes one of the online portals to play up the babi issue and voila! People will forget about the Japanese flag stomping. Well played."
Still, he keeps the best for last; KT ends his article with this “so kangkung move aside please”. Is KT asking ‘kangkung’ to move out so that ‘babi’ can come in? Can the readers interpret ‘kangkung’ as PM and ‘babi’ as Brother A Bin I? Or is it really he means that… let’s forget about ‘kangkung’ and let’s debate about the ‘pigs’ in the New York Times, now? Or is he KT asking us to think: Who is the real Lord of Chaos and Confusion? You tell me, huh!

If no solution is found to the issue, we will likely have very ugly scenes of (overwhelmingly) Malay police entering Churches and ordering Christian mass to be halted and disperse. Priests who refuse to comply would be arrested and hauled off in handcuffs.
The Christians, a minority among minorities, may well find themselves alone soon.
BN / UMNO has already laid detailed propaganda plans to turn the more numerous non-Christian non-Muslim population against Christian "recalcitrance".
BN/UMNO's explanation to the other non-Muslims is that Christian intransigence on this issue is risking the religious rights of other non-Muslims as well as threatening the safety and well-being of their communities, who are innocent by-standers on this issue.

Lord Bobo, does being an atheist violate the Rukunegara standard of patriotism? (@joonsunn, via Twitter)
The Malaysian government only sees things in black and white.
Where gender is concerned, you are either a man or a woman. Penis = man. Vagina = woman. No in-betweens. There are no lesbians, gays, bisexuals, or transgenders. They have no human rights because they don’t exist. If they think they exist, then they need to be rehabilitated.
Where crime is concerned, the criminals are Indians and victims are Malays. There are also Chinese and Malay gangsters obviously, but these are “good gangsters” and “friends”. You can never have too many friends, in all sorts of places.
Where government aid and economic policy are concerned, you are either Bumiputera or you are not. Allah help you if you are not. Or rather, Tuhan help you if you are not, because Allah is only for Muslims.
Where wastage of public funds is concerned, all civil servants involved were just exceedingly negligent or stupid, but not criminally so. Everybody makes mistakes. Give them a break.
But if you’re not a civil servant, then you’re bloody well going to pay the full price for your mistake. Unless of course your uncle or close friend or dad’s golf buddy is a civil servant or has close ties to someone who is.
Giving money to someone to vote for you in the general election is a corrupt act. It’s bribery.
Giving money to someone to vote for you in an Umno election is not a corrupt act. All you non-Umno fellas please mind your own business. Never mind that the Umno election is in many ways more important than the general election.
When it comes to religion, East Malaysian Muslims are more intelligent and will not be confused by Christians using the word “Allah”. West Malaysian Muslims? Dumb as sticks, these morons will obviously be confused.
Malays are Muslims, Chinese are Buddhists or Christians, Indians are Hindus or Christians, and Dan Lain-Lain are Sikhs or Christians. ATHEISTS ARE NOT RECOGNISED. HAHAHAHA! THEY DO NOT EXIST. Ergo an atheist, being a non-entity, cannot violate the Rukunegara.
Anyone who doesn’t fall into a recognised category is collateral damage. The government knows best. Thank Allah for the government.
But the Malaysian government is no bully. They always provide options. And if you don’t like any of the options on offer, you can always migrate.

Deleteactually that (mandatory) requirement to be religiously affiliated comes from Indonesia, where the objective was to prevent affiliation to the communists. The Indons post-Sukarnoe was so fearful of communism (a fear staged and promoted by Suharto and his regime a la UMNO's doctrine of spreading fear in the Heartland) that the national doctrine requires everyone Indon to be religiously affiliated (categorized).
DeleteThe official religions (allowed) were/are Islam, Hinduism, Protestant Christianity, Catholic Christianity and Buddhism (sorry, Bahai and Mahakiri NOT permitted) in the belief that if an Indon belongs to one of these religions he/she can't be a communist. Additionally ABRI (the Indon armed forces) allowed one more for its members of Tionghua extract, namely Confucianism-Taoism.
When I was in Indon years ago I asked an Indon specialist in Pancasila (their national ideology) how they could reconcile Buddhism with the 1st sila of the Pancasila, namely, Ketuhanan yang Maha Esa, because Buddhism has no such belief as an almighty god or for that matter, believes in any gods/dewa-dewi? He told me that it's the Buddhist concept of "good" that represents the equivalent of the theism's' belief in god. wakakaka.

ReplyDeleteMeanwhile kaytee has demanded & dictated Father Lawrence to keep his mouth shut even though Father Lawrence is making a qualified statement or fact. Now he's trying to defend himself by turning the attention to Indonesia's Pancasila after kaytee has been deemed as persona non grata in Malaysia by the virtue of violating the first principle of Rukun Negara......Believe in God
DeleteKaytee does not believe in God. He's an atheist. Hahahaha, what did he do next? He allied himself with the Buddhists. Then again even though theoretically Buddhist does not believe in God but are all Buddhists really atheists? Hahahahaha!
In Islamic societies, atheists are heavily persecuted.

I bet nobody wanna kaytee this time as he's angered so many christians. Hahahaha! Kaytee is now on his own......Hahahaha! That explains no atheists dare to make fun of muslims because they are afraid of reprisals.
DeleteKaytee would be overjoyed with this news. So does his sifu, RPK

ReplyDelete"Jesus, son of Allah"
....actually Christians shouldn't get too worked up over these banners.
This is a logical continuum from Christians' insistence on using "Allah" in the Bible and in their prayer sessions.
You can't complain about what you ask for....."You Asked for It" as the TV game show once put it.....
CB bird brain,
ReplyDeleteThe Christians r not complaining about the action of the banner on them. Rather, they don't like the easily keruli MELAYU (the lumpenprolitariat, the melayu terlampau melayu, the blur-sotong) using this as a chance to enact a scene of amok!
This is the planned 'logical' continuum of those umno bigot to further strenghten their show of ketuanan.
So, who is asking for it, again???
KT made a smart decision to stay in Ozland....things are getting uglier by the day over in Melayuland...

ReplyDeletePope Benedict delivered a Papal blessing in Arabic back in 2012.
He used the Arabic word "Al-Rab" or The Lord.
No mention of Allah.
Why can't Christians here accept that they are going up the wrong path and causing much danger to the country in the process ?
Anwar Ibrahim to be Selangor MB ?
ReplyDeleteGiven up hopes to be PM ?
Belum putus asa lah.....MB seat hanya seat-warmer for blue-eyed boy if they manage to unseat the current royal MB. To say that AI has discard his life-long dream to be the head honcho of the whole country is like saying Umno is multiracial ( thanks to KT, wakakaka) or that Looes is lucid !
Delete;-) there should be a wakakaka also after "that Looes is lucid!", wakakaka
DeleteYes, and Kaytee very livid because can't find piggies for sacrificial ceremony. He is rejoicing NOW......Hahahaha
