Sorcery and Idoltry - The Unknown and Moses
Women find the unknown to be sexually erotic, and this eroticism stimulates sexual fantasies. I suppose this fact can account for the lack of female scientists, lawyers, high ranking managers, etc. Even certain men, induced with the disease, find the unknown to be sexually erotic.
We find the first such case in the bible with Eve in the garden of Eden.
Creating sexual fantasies about the unknown is a scourge, otherwise known as scorcery and idol worship.
From Genesis to Samuel (as far as I have gotten), there seems to be a dwindling trend of sacrifices, holocausts and prayer. I notice that god no longer heeds the call of the Israelites, he does not grant them immediate reward or punishment simply because a sacrifice was put up in his name.
God continues to be a part of the Israelite custom during Saul's reign but the word of god becomes less severe.
This trend started with Moses. Moses outlaws both sorcery and idol worship, which are akin to sacrifice, holocaust and prayer; if abused, they become sexually erotic and stimulate sexual fantasy.
I don't believe Moses had the intention of wiping out Israelite custom but instead intended to declare that the reward and punishment of god are not laid down because of the practice of traditional custom but instead each individual man's judgement is the source of reward and punishment; from Moses onward this system seems to be the main thesis of the bible and continues into the teachings of Jesus.
