If you trample a American flag, or slaughter a sacred cow, what does that act represent? Same with sacrificing a bull, which the Israealites did, and a bull was the sacred animal of moloch. He's even depicted as a bull headed god.
Have knowledge before you speak.
Interesting to see you pretend to have some sort of zen calm right now, but it's to late here, I saw through you on this topic like a window pane.
Follow your teacher, please, yes. Buddha came to at least a partial truth about suffering and attachment.
You're still changing the goal posts. You said gods were depicted as animals. The only source of moloch as a bull is a roval warring tribe, one of the least historically valuable testimonies in that they have great reason to lie and distort.
I'm not moving shit. I'm making an ever stronger case, because you don't know what you're talking about.
I said, "pagan gods were often visualized as animals". This includes moloch, the Egyptian pantheon (where the Israelites left slavery). There are plenty of examples, such as dagon. Many from the Middle East.
I'm tiring of this. I really didn't see where putting more effort towards you will benefit me. That is not a scholarly source, it is not actual historical information. You're an idiot and I'm done. Later.
I'm tiring of this too, in pointing things out that you don't know about, and your contumely.
Please, follow your teacher, and detach yourself from your earthly obsession with the Bible, which you don't know much about. It would be better for all of us here on this planet if you did.

Dagon the fish god. The Popes mitre comes from Dagon
A common mistake. It more likely originated from a Phygian cap in antiquity. Regardless, it has a meaning now completely unrelated.
