The Sumerian tablets pre-date the bible by thousands of years. The modern bible is just a re-telling of the stories in those tablets. They speak of the Lords of Anu, who came here with a slave race called the Igigi. The Igigi rebelled, because they were sick of being slaves. Then the Lords of Anu took the indigenous humanoids who were already here on earth, infused them with Anunnaki DNA and after much trial and error, created the end product called the Adamu, the first modern human. This took place in an open-air laboratory called the E-den. Two Anunnaki brothers, Lord Enlil and Lord Enki, had different ideas about what should be done with the new Homo Sapiens. Enlil wanted them to serve as slaves. Enki wanted to set them free, give them knowledge, and release them from the E-den. Today, Enki is portrayed as Satan, who gave them "forbidden" knowledge, while the evil one was Really Enlil, who wanted to be worshipped as a God, even though he was a flesh and blood being. The bible we know today has serious omissions, such as the Book of Enoch, The Gospel of Thomas, and other books that tell the whole story. The Catholic Church burned people to death by the thousands, pulled their limbs from their sockets on the rack while applying fire to their armpits at the same time. The Catholic Church fomented wars, collected taxes, molested children.
Hi Bruce, thanks for being here and for your comment! I have some good information and resources to address these points. I want to make sure I am providing a complete response, and I will add a comment to add to this conversation.
