The 'colour' of our god or gods

 

God! Gods!

In other words, the world has more than one god, depending on your religion.

Of course the Abrahamic religions each have one god only, who some adherents claim to be the same for all three religions, though I kaytee doubt that because the respective adherents have been killing each other, even in the name of their respective religion, yes, those of the purported same religion, eg. RC versus Protestants, Sunni vs Shia, Jews versus Christians and Muslims, Muslims versus Christians and Jews, Christians versus Jews and Muslims.



Thus we shouldn't be surprised by Muslims killing Hindus and vice versa. Verily, Christians have been killing non-Christians (Jews, Hindus, Taoists, adherents of American, South American and African religions).

On historical records I dare say the Christians were the most prolific killers of non-Christians, whilst Muslims rate second - the remaining religions obtain consolation prizes as serial (nay) mass killers.

The most notorious god was the Hebraic god who murdered every first born in Egypt in just one single night. YHWH had/has an obsession with 'first born' babies and children, because according to the Old Testament, every single Hebrew-Israelite first-born belongs to him - In verse Exodus 13:2, God says, “Consecrate every firstborn male to me, the firstborn from every womb among the Israelites, both man and domestic animal; it is mine.”.

Indeed, way before YHWH went on a killing rampage in Egypt on one dark and stormy night, He had already partook of first-born Isaac, sacrificed to Him by Abraham - please read my earlier post Did Abraham sacrifice Ishmael or Isaac?

In recent time, specifically the current war in Ukraine, people talked favourably of refugees with 'blonde and blue eyes' but sneering at 'brownies/blackies' let us re-examine our respective god or gods. But do we realise very few of our gods are white?

YHWH = Hebrew or at least Middle-East = brown

Jesus = ditto

Jesus (a probable portrait commissioned by BBC)


Allah swt = Arab - no one has seen Him so let's leave Him swt out.

Baal = Canaan = brown

Zoroastrian = Persian = ditto ie. brown

Shiva, Brahma, Krishna - Indians = brown

Waheguru - Sikh Indian = brown

Manitou (or Wakan Tanka, New World native god) = brown

Jade Emperor = Chinese = yellow??

Zeus = Greek = is a Greek white or brown? His descendants were called 'wogs' by the Poms so I doubt Zeus would be accepted as white

Jupiter is just a Roman version of Zeus = another 'wog'

Odin = Norse = probably the ONLY white god

Note I haven't included Buddha, Mahavira, Lao Tze because they weren't/aren't gods - just 'enlightened' ones.
