Trump Allies Embrace 'Christian Nationalism'

20. You might like Neal Stephenson's

Snow Crash, that explains at length the Sumerians and their descendants' attempts to eliminate the 'virus' of Asherah that exists today in all of us.

He explains how the deuteronomists lived in a time of extreme nationalism and xenophobia, when they formalized their old stories into the Torah to prevent the spread of Asherah, which later infected the pharisees who imposed a rigid legalistic theocracy on the Hebrews -- priestly types vested with civil authority.

I studied those history parts because otherwise, the plot was only surface fighting between "metaverse" (a simulated world) and the real world.

Anyway, I highly recommend the novel.
