  • The cult of Yahweh. Yahweh started as one of the the 70 cananite gods, specifically god of storms and war. The cult of Yahweh believed Yahweh was also El, the head god. The founding of the cult was attributed to Abraham. They built the first temple to him, which was destroyed when they were enslaved. Then in exile it transformed from Yahweh being El to Yahweh being the only god, the full transformation happening with Moses. They go to the promised land, the second temple is built, Rome conqueres the Levant, the messiah arrives and fulfills profecies, dies, jews rebel, the second temple is destroyed, and everyone scatters.








  • Martin was probably meant to continue writing the books so the show could have material to work with. When this didn’t happen, Martin gave them whatwver he had wrote for Winds and gave them the overall ending, Bronn on throne, Dany and Cersi and Jamie and all the others dead, Jon Snow the prince that was promised and back at the wall. The number of seasons was then cut from 10 to 8, and the writers had to rush to finish the story.

    Now Martin saw the reaction to the ending, decided to scrap all of Winds he wrote before the show ending, and completely rewrite it so everyone ends up in different places. He just won’t admit it and has no incentive to finish the story since he is now, as you say, a whiny rich prick.








  • Jews, Christians, and Muslims do not worship the same god. God in the three religions have different personalities, requirements for salvation, and wants, etc. They only share momotheism and early prophets, not even the same set of prophets. Jews achieve salvation by following the laws of Yahweh laid out in the Torah, Christians are saved through their belief in Christ and the sacrifice of God with repentance, and Muslims achieve salvation through the laws of Allah laid out in the Quran. Jews don’t consider Christians and Muslims to be true followers. Most Christians don’t consider Jews to be saved because if their soecific rejection of Christ, and Muslims have this half state for “people of the book” which also includes Zoroastrians.
