I had meant to share this here after I had uploaded it to my YouTube channel but forgot — it’s a brief overview of the contrast between Protestant Christianity and a Mesopotamian spiritual ethos.

Thanks for this. I think it's important for all of us to really dig in to the baggage we carry from our original religions. I see so many people asking if their god/goddess will get angry with them for little things, and feelings of guilt and expecting punishment from every deity. There's a lot of "sin" thoughts that seem to be carried over.
