Well, it’s that time of year again when some in the biblical religious community will use this opportunity to lecture us on the origins and dangers of expressing love to your loved ones on the day of idol worshipers, also known as “Valentine’s Day.”

In their view, expressing any kind of love and appreciation for your loved ones on Valentine’s Day means that, by default, you are worshiping other gods.

“Honey, I love you!”
“What day is it?”

“It’s the 14th of February. It’s Valentine’s Day.”

“GASP!!! Don’t you tell me that on this day!”
“Why? I tell you that every day.”

“Don’t you know that you may have brought a curse on this house?!?!?!”

Yes, this type of lunacy does exist among some of the anti-Valentine’s Day for religious reasons crowd.

BUT BRUH! DON’T YOU REALIZE THE HISTORY BEHIND VALENTINE’S DAY?

Yes, I do. In fact, I used to teach it on our platform.

In short, its origins stretch back to Ancient Rome. Before it was called “Valentine’s Day,” it was known as a fertility festival. People would do things like engage in ritualistic sex, animals were sacrificed, and in some cases, violence was part of the celebrations to the Roman god of agriculture, Faunus (half man, half goat). And yes, we know that Roman mythology was often influenced by Greek mythology, which in turn came from Egypt, and so forth.

Pretty dark stuff. But as time progressed, Christianity came into the picture and purged many of those practices from this holiday. And like Christianity has done for ages, they simply renamed the day “Valentine’s Day” (St. Valentine was a Catholic priest who was martyred in the 3rd century).

But for the online religious community, to prove that someone is rooted in ultimate evil, they give themselves allowances to play hopscotch with history and jump right to the parts that will get the most clicks. From there, they will cobble together the logic that says expressing love to your spouse or loved one on this day is simply a continuation of the worship of the god Faunus.

Well, since they are the ones who have created this standard of connecting historical dots, we should also use their very same logic when it comes to the following.

EAT MY FLESH AND DRINK MY BLOOD

Most people believe that the biblical historical account of Jesus telling his disciples “Eat my flesh and drink my blood” was his own expression to describe metaphorically what one must do to show their commitment to God.

But the truth is that this was actually a real practice that predated the biblical account of Jesus. This practice was just one of the things those who worshiped the Greek god Dionysus would do.

“The central rite of the Dionysiac orgies was that of theophagy, i.e., of eating the god. Worshippers, rapt in ecstatic trance, tore an animal—the incarnation of the god—and devoured its flesh. By killing the god, eating his flesh, and drinking his blood, they were filled with divine power and transplanted into the sphere of divinity. In order to make room for the entrance of the higher force, the person must forfeit the power over the self. He must abandon his mind in order to receive the spirit. Loss of consciousness, ecstasy, is a prerequisite for enthusiasm, or possession.” (Abraham Heschel, The Prophets: Two Volumes in One)

THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME “JERUSALEM”

Some of you will be shocked to find out the origin behind the name of the most holy of cities in the Bible: Jerusalem. In fact, this city is so holy that it is promised in the book of Revelation that a NEW Jerusalem will be built.

But take one minute and look up the etymology of the word Jerusalem.

It means: “THE FOUNDATION OF SHALEM”

“Shalem” or “Shalim” was the CANAANITE god of dusk.

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE WORD “BIBLE”

The oldest form of the word “byblos” comes from the name of a Phoenician city by that same name. This city was known for being a major center for papyrus trade (“byblos” means “papyrus” or “books”).

Like many ancient cities, Byblos had its own patron god (in their case, goddess). Her name was Baalat Gebal.

• “Lady of Byblos”: Her name translates to “Lady of Byblos,” highlighting her close connection to the city.
• Important Deity: She was the principal deity in the local pantheon of Byblos and a central figure in the city’s religious life.
• Association with Hathor: Due to close ties between Byblos and Egypt, Baalat Gebal was often identified with the Egyptian goddess Hathor.
• Temple in Byblos: A temple dedicated to her was located in the center of the settlement, emphasizing her importance.

So the Bible is named after a city whose patron deity was a goddess named “Baalat Gebal.”

These “teachers” can dig in the historical crates and pull up selected pieces of history. But when it comes to history that conflicts with their narrative, it all gets ignored or dismissed as “the devil.”

And while this religious crowd will clap back with the “We can’t observe the same days the heathens do,” please show them the origins of their precious calendar and feast days.

If these holidays are so evil, ask them: Do they volunteer to work for free on paid days off by employers who observe these days? Do they reject their “Illuminati-printed” money?

Listen, we are all living in a timeline where there are certain things we simply do not control. Expressing love to your loved ones, regardless of the day, is the bedrock of any successful and long-term relationship. This is something that has been proven over and over again throughout time.

If you choose not to acknowledge days like Valentine’s Day, Christmas, etc., THAT SHOULD BE YOUR CHOICE. If you are out here performing sacrifices and we know about it, we are calling the cops. But if you are going to weaponize history by cherry-picking events to build a false narrative, then you need to be checked! Everything presented in this post can easily be verified within minutes.
