Gods Behaving Badly: Differences In Perceptions Of Divine Violence In Mythologies Of The Ancient Near East, George Louis Groh May 2014

Gods Behaving Badly: Differences In Perceptions Of Divine Violence In Mythologies Of The Ancient Near East, George Louis Groh

Religious Studies Publications and Other Works

Most people who follow one of the major contemporary religions, particularly in the Abrahamic traditions, adhere to a very specific set of beliefs concerning the types of behavior expected from a deity or divine power. The Bible portrays a God who “delights to show mercy” (Mic. 7:18) and encourages followers to “sanctify yourselves… and be holy, for I am holy” (Lev. 11:44). God’s character is often thought to be perfect, utterly above negative qualities such as evil, deceit, wrong doing and pettiness.[1] By this standard, then, some of the acts committed by the gods and goddesses of the ancient …
