I fully understand your argument and understand that it is a far stretch to theorize that the Germanic word sin was actually derived from the Hebraic word or letter for sin and I stated this before. I threw it into the theory because I thought that I might get clear information about the language, as there are Hebrews in the room. But what is not a stretch is the fact that the early Israelites once worshipped the moon god sin represented as the calf in ancient Mesopotamia. The word Sinai is a combination of sin=moon god and ai=mountain, this fact alone provides clues to how widespread the worship of sin was to the ancients. Large sects of Hebrews continue rituals connected to moonworship, while others brush this off as cults of Lillith and agriculture, not knowing their own history. Out of all of the theories that I brought here the word sin as sin is no doubt the weakest. The others are more history lesson than theory, and are supported by many sources and scholars.
With all due respect to adherents of the Abrahamic faiths, for all the good they have brought to our civilization they have also done equally as much damage. Again my research and beliefs are independent and focus on history more than religion. As far as advancements and building, I believe that this cannot be truly achieved until civilization as a whole becomes aware of certain historical truths, which negates the differences between groups of humans and will propel us into a new age of freedom and understanding. ~ Guess I am a new age high ass headwrap wearing nigga
Ok so now that I'm home at a computer again, let me address you and be done with this subject.
In your O.P. you said:
"
The ancient Semitic moon god called Sin was worshipped in the Middle East during the time of Abraham. Mount Sinai is named after this deity"
(
in Charlie Murphy voice)WRONG!!
FIRST OF ALL...the simplest point is that Abraham was indeed Babylonian and indeed the progenitor of the Hebrews- but he was transformed from Abram to Abraham ONLY after REJECTING the gods of his father- Enzu being one of the. BTW, Enzu is the actual name of the deity you are referring to- Sin is a Semitic "nickname" meaning "thorn". That certainly does not reek of reverence for your moon god pal, now does it? Either way he was not a chief diety and was not called Sin in the times of Abraham.Anu would more readily be associated with YHWH as he is the chief of the Babylonian pantheon. Thats not plausible either though, as the very nature of YHWH (יְהֹוָה) can be derived from the individual words which provide the building blocks of the aforementioned compound word which is more a description than a common name. "Hoo hayah hawa" = He Is-Was-Will (cause) to be. Hmmmm....so what does that mean for the Adamic species if they are made in that image. But back on the topic....Anu ischief of their pantheon and is confined to the sky, Enzu/Sin is just a moon god (also known as a god of knowledge). I mentioned Ishtar(Astarte) cults in a previous post and lo and behold i found out that Enzu is actually her father. The moon cult of Enzu was the official state religion of the Chaldeans- WHO ISRAEL HAD BEEF WITH.
"We know that the horned face was a translation error for radiating face, but was his horned depiction perpetrated to bring the “Sinners” into the new religion. "
Moses was not depicted in any wise until the Europeans had long since conquered and REmade the original texts to suit their purposes. So the horns are inadmissable as evidence to support your theory in conjunction with the fact you acknowledge "horned" was a miss-translation.
THEN YOU SAID LATER:
"But what is not a stretch is the fact that the early Israelites once worshipped the moon god sin represented as the calf in ancient Mesopotamia. The word Sinai is a combination of sin=moon god and ai=mountain, this fact alone provides clues to how widespread the worship of sin was to the ancients. "
There were no early Israelites in Mesopotamia genius.You have your timeline mixed up. And "ai" does not mean mountain. "HAR" is mountain in Hebrew. As far as SINAI we have סִינַי

So now you're on all this hippie-dippe can't we all get along stuff, but you came into R&R guns blazing, making false claims that the 10 Commandments (which dont exist in said format separated from the 613 Laws of Moses) were stolen from the 42 Negative Confessions of Ma'at (which come in many different versions...any jackass with google or a library card can read that they were customized for the tombs of individuals according to their personal issues). Then you come here popping off at the keyboard talking sideways with definitve statements which I have proven are only true in your own little head.
Maybe you don't realize how disrespectful you came off, but you did.
But my oh my, you know when you point the finger at percieved flaws....four come right back at you. My wife can attest to the fact that Im extra, extra heterosexual but look what your gods are up to.
"One of the most famous displays of homosexuality in Ancient Egypt is in the battle for kingship between the Gods Horus and Set. It is told in a story known as the 'Contendings of Horus and Set.' In one part of this story Set invites Horus to his house, and in the evening a bed is prepared for the both of them. In a shrewd plan Horus manages to catch the semen of Set and disposes of it. He then goes to his mother who comes up with an idea to trick Set into ingesting Horus' semen by placing it in a lettuce, which was Set's favourite food. In the end, the god Thoth declares that the semen of Horus comes-forth; Seth is humiliated and loses his fight for the throne."

Conflict of Horus and Seth
– One famous story in ancient Egypt describes an extended conflict between the god Osiris and Seth, his rival brother, who murders Osiris and then seeks to remove Horus, Osiris’ son and heir, with his claim to be king of the gods. This narrative, usually referred to as “The Contendings of Horus and Seth,” exists in different versions and dates back to the early Middle Kingdom (2040-1674 B.C.), with origins that are probably older.5 The earliest longest version, dated c. 1160 B.C., late in 20th Dynasty in the New Kingdom,6 describes how “Seth said to Horus: ‘Come let us spend a pleasant hour at my house.’ Horus answered, ‘With pleasure, with pleasure.’ When it was evening a bed was spread for them and they lay down. During the night Seth made his penis stiff and he placed it between the loins of Horus. Horus put his hands between his loins and caught the sperm of Seth.7 Then Horus went to his mother, Isis [and said]: ‘Help me…! Come, see what Seth has done to me.’ And he opened his hand and let her see Seth’s semen. With a scream she took her weapon and cut off his hand and threw it in the water, and conjured up for him a hand to make up for it.”8 Then Isis helped Horus ejaculate and smeared his sperm over some lettuce, which was Seth’s favorite vegetable and which she then gave to him to eat. Later, when Seth boasted to the Ennead (the nine gods judging the conflict) that he had done the “work of a male [warrior]”9 on Horus, the gods “screamed aloud, and belched and spat in Horus’ face.” Wolfhardt Westendorf thinks that the Egyptians looked upon semen as poison when taken into the body in the wrong way – yet Seth did not die here. Still, the gods apparently felt that for Horus to be used like a woman sexually was so incompatible with kingship that they erupted with contempt.10 Seth’s act is usually interpreted as one of dominance and aggression, yet as Dominic Montserrat points out, the story is more complex, because here: (1) Two males, comparatively the same age (adults) and same status (gods), lie down for sexual play. (2) Both rivals are able to penetrate the other, in some way, and therefore may be looked upon as equals. (3) Horus willingly consents to have sexual relations with Seth (although not anal intercourse), who physically desires him (“sweet to his heart”) and unabashedly makes his request known.11
More on your professed influences:
Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum were ancient Egyptian royal servants and are believed by some to be the first recorded same-sex couple in history. The proposed homosexual nature of Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum has been commented on the popular press, and the idea seems to (partially) stem from the depictions of the two men standing nose to nose and embracing. Niankhkhnum's wife, depicted in a banquet scene, was almost completely erased in ancient times, and in other pictures Khnumhotep occupies the position usually designated for a wife.
Others have pointed out that both men appear with their respective wives and children, suggesting the men were brothers.
