He competed, and won. As Christianity is the world’s largest religion, and there are no Amorites anymore.

Do you know what the Amorites believed and what they worshiped and what their culture was like? Are you wanting to be and Amorite and are mad your religious line is no longer around? Why all the love for the Amorites?


The Canaanites and and Amorites may be gone but the Philistines, AKA Palestinians (who were there first) haven't totally been wiped out.


Many of the people in today’s Palestine came from other places, starting with Babylonia during Nebuchadnezzar’s reign and the Jewish Babylonian exile. Also, the Philistines worshipped Baal and that’s totally gone.


gone? You mean wiped out by a certain religiously intolerant group that invaded their lands


The storm god Baal was the major religion in Canaan at one point, but he was “gone” way before Jesus and Christianity, if that’s the point you were trying to make.


Baal was a Canaanite God. The Philistines worshipped Dagon.

Cool. Canaanites, Amorites, Philistines -- all had the bad luck to worship the wrong gods. Yahweh's followers weren't much into religious tolerance were they?

The anti-Semitism here is shocking and unending.

This is just a matter of history. You can read it for yourself in the Bible. Same thing happened to the native Americans of our western plains. Do you have a different?interpretation?

I’m sure you come to the defense of Catholics when the bigotry is directed at them, instead of piling on like some do.

I’m not Jewish or Catholic, FWIW.

You think the Bible is literal and actual history?

The storm god Baal was the major religion in Canaan at one point, but he was “gone” way before Jesus and Christianity, if that’s the point you were trying to make.


Baal was a Canaanite God. The Philistines worshipped Dagon.

Absolutely. Anyone who makes generalizations about people based on the actions of others is not a good person.

As a Jew I don’t find this anti Semitic. Like it or not, the God of the Bible was not a nice guy
