The Religions of Usurpation
© MC 2022
In Human Civilization, the previous indigenous religions are usurped (stolen) by the next Civilization that exists in that same region. The Aztecs stole from the Mayans and Olmecs. The Romans stole from the Greeks, whom stole from the Ancient Egyptians. The Babylonians stole from the Sumerians. The Jews stole from Ancient Egypt/Babylon. Christians stole from the Jews and Ancient Egypt/Babylon. Muslims usurped from the previous sources (Jews, Ancient Egypt, Christians, & Babylon). Mormons stole the religion from the Aztecs (Quetzalcoatl) and Christians. While this practice preserves the previous ideology and technology it does nothing to validate the later claims of “who is more correct?” The later religions tell you not to worship the older religions, whom they usurp from. This is indicative of guilt.
The Usurpers use the same descriptions, titles, information of their sources. If this appears to attract the previous devotees to the new religion, it does nothing for pedigree. Amon-Ra was the Ancient Egyptian King of the Gods; in Greece this title is Zeus, in Rome this is Jupiter. In Judaism the Almighty God who hears prayer can be either Amon-Ra or Set (in Egyptian). There was a Greek Medusa (woman with snakes for hair) in Aztec/Mayan religion. Either the Goddess visited the Americas after Ancient Greece, or Greeks traveled to the New World. Incan technology shares traits from Ancient Egypt in architecture, though Incans existed thousands of years after Rome acquired Egypt. Aztec god Quetzalcoatl was a “bearded man from the East” who developed civilization in the Americas; this is the same description of either the Egyptian god Osiris, or the Christian Jesus (see Mormon religion).
