Thank you Derrick for the excellent interview. I certainly can't blame prof Cooney for being interested in ancient Egypt because I have always been as well. I also can't blame you for leaving the red state hell we call Indiana. Really love Atheologica, keep spreading the light of truth (atheism) throughout the world! P.S.- I have had a heart attack (7 years ago) my Dr. tells me to avoid bread as well.
She has definitely peaked my interest. I'm a have a BA in African American studies and MPA; my friend/former roommate has a BA in anthropology and Criminal Justice.we discussed often when humanity started caring more about status/symbols than survival. I would be interested in her take on what values we could take from hunter gatherers when most did not leave records. I would also be interested in what system she would use to replace patriarchy which has been negative for most humans. Would matriarchy be better or some other social system, and if so why? Keep up the great work Derek!
Very interesting, ancient egypt heavily inluenced the ancient israelites and vastly outdid their so-called golden age its no comparison, circumcision, pork taboo, water rituals/baptisms, lake of fire punishments, demons, resurrections, afterlife judgement, negative confession and so much more adapted by ancient jews, without egypt (and mesopotamians etc) there would be no jewish religion.
great stuff. It would be good if you could get Kara to come back and speak about her experience with Catholicism and where she sees its future. Whether the reactionary forces within will take over. In America it seems ultra Catholics are being seduced by a return to theocratic dreams. I think in America if protestants knew history about Church power they would see a future like that would make them second class citizens. But history including the ugly parts is becoming less and less a thing for american citizens unfortunately.
