A Closer Look at the Hebrew Bible: Ethical Monotheism? or Unethical
Henotheism?
The first of the Ten Commandments asserts, "I am the Lord your God who brought
you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods
before me." [Exodus 20:2] The wording states that there are other existing gods,
but they must not be given preferential or even equal treatment over the god who
dictated this commandment to Moses. Thus the Torah teaches polytheism [many
gods], but it is a "many-god-ism" very different from that of the Ancient Greeks
and Romans who simultaneously recognized and honored many gods.
Torahites are required to worship only their own tribal god and ignore all
foreign gods. It is sort of like monogamy whereby a man commits himself to one
woman but does not deny the existence of other women. Later Moses confirms that
there are other gods and says, "Do not follow other gods, the gods of the
peoples around you; for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a jealous God
and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of
the earth." [Deuteronomy 6: 14-15] So this jealous maniac is not above toasting
anyone who does not hop to it.
Another aspect of this jealousy is that outsiders should not worship this God,
just like a husband generally does not allow other men to have the same
relationship with his wife that he does. So this is definitely not the kind of
universal God for all mankind that contemporary Islam and Christianity believe
in. The rarely used word "henotheism" captures the situation and can be
described as "tribal-one-god-for-us-ism." Somewhere along in history -probably
under Plato's influence- Jewdayism began to claim to be more than a henotheism
and appropriated the moniker of monotheism. But particularistic, tribal, and
parochial self-interests continue to mark it off clearly from any universalist
human teaching embracing all humans.
But more important than any ontological or metaphysical questions about the
nature and being of this henotheistic God are two basic ethical questions:
1. How does this God behave?
2. How does He command others to behave?
Plato argued that there are certain stories that it is blasphemous to tell about
a good God. Such a God cannot do evil and harmful acts. This is similar to the
idea stated by Abraham in his argument with God. Like a good Platonist, Abraham
said, "Far be it from you to do such a thing -to kill the righteous with the
wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
[Genesis 18:25] It was too bad that Abraham was not around when Moses got G-d to
kill any and all of the Egyptian firstborn or when G-d allowed Satan to torment
Job and kill his children. Or what would old Abraham have said about Joshua's
and Saul's genocides?
Well, of course, it is impossible to sort out all the doctrinal garbage,
childrens' fable, and fake history in the Hebrew Scriptures, but there is
absolutely no reason whatsoever to refer to this crap as an "ethical monotheism"
as the politically correct dogma requires. It is an unethical henotheism that
must not be allowed to be taught in schools except as an example of the
reptile-brained thinking characteristic of human pre-history. This conclusion is
fully compatible with the Christian doctrine of supersession. The Old Testament
is old.
Anybody today who celebrated the past burning of witches or ancient Aztec
sacrifices of young maidens would be socially ostrasized. Similarly, the
celebrations of the killing of ancient Egyptians or Persians should be ridiculed
and ultimately prohibited. We need freedom from that kind of religion. Not
freedom for it!
