YHWH and the religions built upon this concept of deity are the antithesis to human equality, individual freedom, and peaceful and environmentally compatible human co-existence. Over the last 30 years I have experienced all the religionist propaganda and the vain and empty "arguments" they come up with. I have indeed no problem talking or writing articles '''about''' these religions and their history and the historical context out of which they developed, but I will not suffer anyone writing articles that express that the biblical deity is real or that require the base assumption that the biblical deity is real.

The Silmarillion

This user not only likes The Lord of the Rings, but The Silmarillion as well.

Meskiagkasher (Meckiajgacer, Meskiaggasher, circa 3050 BCE to 3000 BCE NC) is the king of Uruk who left the reign of his country to his successor to become an explorer of the seas. He and his fleet of black ships went out into the Indian Ocean and subsequently circumnavigated the Arabian pensinsula to come to the mountainous lands on the shores of the Erythrean (Red) Sea, where he and his followers triggered a cultural evolution that led to the formation of states in Northeast Africa, including Egypt.

His name means "he who divides the land (amongst his followers)". The ancients and subsequently the writers of the bible knew him by his hypocoristic name Cush (=division). Through the Greeks we derive our own word "chaos" (=division) from the same hypocoristicon. The Egyptians deified him as Seth, Lord Chaos. In memory of the great mariner king the region he came to was also later known as Kush. He is said to be descended from Utnapishtim (Noah), the flood hero himself, and he is the ancestor of Enmer-kar (n-m-r the hunter/hero, biblical n-m-r(-d) Nimru(d)), the builder of the famous Tower of Babel (the ziggurat of Eridu).

I am interested in ancient history and formerly in the works of Tolkien (but after a clash with the Tolkien Estate ove rmy maps that has lessened). On the internet I use the name "Steven White jr" (after my late father) so I do not have to use my real name and get spammed even more.

NO RELIGION

Not only am I an atheist, I am also an anti-theist. Especially the deity worshiped by the adherents of the abrahamic religions is, according to their "sacred texts", an arrogant, vile, and hateful deity, so that it is incomprehensible how an educated, enlightened, modern person can possibly follow such a figure as their role model. To quote Richard Dawkins (whom I only partially agree with but who puts it eloquently into words) I say "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully". Following such a deity is even worse than joining some Neo-Nazi party, and I consider that a severe flaw of character. There is simply no justification for adherence to YHWH (or whatever name is assigned Elohim/Allah/Jesus) that is not in violation of the very founding principles of western societies. YHWH and the religions built upon this concept of deity are the antithesis to human equality, individual freedom, and peaceful and environmentally compatible human co-existence. Over the last 30 years I have experienced all the religionist propaganda and the vain and empty "arguments" they come up with. I have indeed no problem talking or writing articles about these religions and their history and the historical context out of which they developed, but I will not suffer anyone writing articles that express that the biblical deity is real or that require the base assumption that the biblical deity is real.

My List of Ancient Sites

OK, I've been collecting coordinates of ancient sites and here they are. This list is generated automatically from my database, so editing will be lost as soon as I post a new list, subsequently any corrections should be sent to me in a message.

NC manager

The NC manager is the software I wrote myself to edit the data stored in my database. Here's a few screenshots to give an impression of how it works.
