Before Islam/Judaism The World Were Animals

The clear proof is before Judaism and Islam, the world must of been earthly creatures with earthly beliefs. The extent of their gods didn't reach beyond 'wood carven idols' or 'statues' made of gold. They had no idea of a god that is unseen to all and beyond all our imagination and makings. Look at Somali names there is no link to higher being in our culture, it's all earthly orientated.

Like warsame which means 'he makes news' not holy news but just 'war caadi ah' looooool. Look at the name 'Barwaaqo' even our Idea of 'waaq' was linked to 'daaqsin and rain' because it's considered barwaaqo when the rains have arrived and the plains are blooming green. Notice the theme here? Not just Somalis but generally mankind outside of Judaism all had this 'earthly' culture, we assumed god was linked to a sun, moon, or sometimes what we cherish on earth like 'warriors' of the greek.

U will find even in Europe their names used to be linked to their 'occupation' like the 'smiths'. It's when these religions came around our names started to reflect a higher god or his prophets. So our names started to change to abdallah or musa or issa prophets of this UNSEEN ONE GOD that no-one in the world ever knew about prior. U will find even with European first names their usually judaean names most of the time with a mix of their ancient european names like 'donald or bill or bob'.

 

So the advent of judaism was a radical new thought, a god beyond our imaginations and all our idols and all our thoughts and ideas. It taught us god was not linked to us or connected to us and was ABOVE US. This idea was revolutionary and would've caused a-lot of these prior people not to understand this new idea and cause a-lot of misunderstandings.

This idea that you can't just go to a temple and 'see' your god like the earlier humans before did or hear or touch their god like 'statues, fires, dabshids, etc' or prostrate to a sun or moon or some space based planet was unusual and would've taken a long time for them to adjust to this new thought. The thing Israel stuffed up with is the linking of the creator to ISRAEL, making it thus zionist god. That is the corruption of the jews. But Islam definitely rectified this problem and ensured it was a god for all mankind and not linked to arabism.

 

For the life of me, I could never grasp how someone could be a idol worshipper or a polytheist.

Like seriously, you're gonna pray to and give offerings of food and drink, to a statue that was built and can easily be destroyed? And pray to hundreds of Gods? So there are multiple Gods in charge? Even though on this earth, companies, militaries, and countries are all run by a single person?

 

Don't blame them though, they either lost god word thru the generations or it became corrupted or it never reached them. If your not aware of higher god that is beyond your senses, you will fall for anything that a man produces be it wood carven idol or gold statue or even in some who used 'heavens' as god like moon, sun, etc. You will think this is normal since u have no knowledge of anything else ma garatay?

Somalis were more environmentalist linked god. It was linked to 'pasture and rains' similar to aboriginal religions who linked their god to the environment. So everything is god in their religion even a tree or the soil or the air. It's all a part of this magical god for them the environment. Somalis were kind of similar who linked Waaq to daaqsin and greenery and watery place and hence u have names like Barwaaqo. From my understanding u had these four type of polytheists.

1. The ones who worship what u build for them like a statue, wood carven or gold or decorated by something.
2. You have the environmentalist type who link it god to their environment like ancient african religions and aboriginals.
3. You have these space worshipping types who see the planets as god
4. You have the ones who link their god to something about their culture. Like warriors of greek, love and poetry and stuff like that.

The key thing that unites polytheists regardless of what their god is linked too is, it's all can be SENSED(daaqsin and pastures, moon, sun, statues) or Thought about(love, warrior, etc). To come along and say 'hang on guys' god is beyond all that and you can never sense or think about him in such way would be 'quite crushing' and could create EMOTIONS raging among them. It similar to when u sleep especially in a deep sleep when you have no senses anymore like smell, dreams, touch, and all of that. U know how u go into sleep and somethings u don't know where you were but u just wake up and do not recall anything? imagine asking a human to describe such place? that's basically what this one god was trying to teach them not to describe god or think of it or feel it or sense it, it's like this place that no human knows.

 

Ancient Egypt, Classical Greece, and the Roman Republic beg to differ.
