The true origin of all the Greek, Roman Mythologies as well as the religions such as Hindu, Budda and such originated in the First Babylon Under the Leadership of Nimrod and his mother/wife Semirramis.
Takes a lot of research, but let me tell you. The study will OPEN YOUR EYES!
When Babylon was destroyed by God and all it's inhabitants scattered with different languages, the religion went with them. That is why you can go to Asia and find the same God's with different names. It's all part of the original pagan worship that began in Babylon. This religion affected the Roman Catholic church and that is why our Holidays such as Christmas and Easter are celebrated on the pagan holidays.
There is soooo much to it. Lots of research to get to the heart of it, but it is sooooo worth it.

Fundie spun history, and you think we believe it? Oh please, pull the other one, it has bells on it.
There are so many things wrong with this paragraph.
The first religion was Venus worship. According to a small Pagan sect, Ea and Renna ten ha created Earth, that is where humans get the name Earth from.
Hinduism and Buddhism started under Budda (Siddhartha Guatama) and Indra respectively.
Nimrod's reign did NOT go that far, and a person's wife is not thier mother (incest may be ok in your family, but most people dont do incest) Roman catholicism was how christianity originated, and they stole most of thier shit from Pagans. They lied, cheated, stole and killed anything that didnt worship jesus as its savior.
Your research hasnt gone that deep. Youre still on page one.
If you did "research" then you would probably be pagan or atheist by now:)
Hinduism and Buddhism haven't "gone down" and your so called study on applies if a person believes that God took down Babylon. Essentially, it's good for nothing because aside from being wrong as Brianisha already pointed out, it would only be bought by someone who already believes what you've tried to prove. Also, in Buddhism you will not find God under a different name, they don't worship or believe in any God, gods or goddesses, seraphim, cherubim, archangels, demons, mythological beasts, familiars, pan-dimensional cyborgs, or talkative shrubbery.
I always hear conspiracy fundies going on about nimrod and the nephelim and how everything is a plan to brainwash us, according to reference materials that ONLY THEY HAVE ACCESS TO. And it goes without saying these are accurate accounts of how the elder race plans to enslave us with barcode implants that will manipulate our brainwaves... Too much superman comic books when growing up, not enough discipline and REAL history.
Why do I get the feeling that the entirety of available "research" supporting this idea exists within Biblical lore alone? Hell of an argument...though it would require one to prove that one religion existed before this event, that several religions were born immediately after, and that something approximating Judaism was the world's first religious tradition. The problem is, paganism seems to have come first, and everything else is a derivation from that. But, whatever...
"Takes a lot of research, but let me tell you."
No, inventing the internet you posted this on takes a lot of research. Inventing pennicillin takes a lot of research. Discovering evolution takes a lot of research. What you are doing is making up shit and calling it proof.
The "source material" is the novel "the Two Babylons" by Arthur Hislop, published in 1856. Although it was first published as a novel, Hislop later tried to pass it off as authentic history.
Semiramis was probably based on a real Mesopotamian queen, but she lived circa 800 BC--not exactly well within the same time frame as Nimrod.
So God destroyed Babylon and confused people's languages- this was 4500 years ago. Yet somehow Babylon continued to exist for millenia. Do the words "Babylonian captivity" mean anything to you? You must mean Babel. The city of Babylon most definitely existed and was never "destroyed," but was conquered by Alexander of Macedon, slowly dwindling in influence and eventually abandoned. This of course contradicts a prophecy in Isaiah, but I'll stick to one issue at a time.
I assume for someone who believes that the flood and the tower of babel were real this really makes sense.
I wonder however, how he explains the indians in north america and the south american high cultures and their gods ;)
nice fundy revision, but no, the fact that people come up with similar beliefs only means humanity thinks along the same lines.
epic fail!
This religion affected the Roman Catholic church and that is why our Holidays such as Christmas and Easter are celebrated on the pagan holidays.
So doesn't that tell you to go get your own damned holidays?
What about egyptian? Those guys were knocking around the biblical time of Nimrod...
The Tower of Babel is about how a "king" of babylon hired a bunch of dudes from different places to build a tower but it failed.
Hindus have their protohinduism at this point. The entire point of religion is that it changes. So at this point instead of Indra you have the triumvirate of Creator, Preserver and Destroyer who are the heart of mordern hinduism. So there are "Hindus" knocking around.
Asia has a fair bunch of "gods". They are not "gods" in your way. They are super powered beings. They are flawed because nothing is truly perfect. It is an understanding of nature that far outstrips the abrahamic concept. Its a very interesting philosophy when compared to Christianity because it is accepting.
Exactly where did you do your "research"? Because I could have sworn I saw something like this in a novel somewhere.
Oh, and Semiramis is an awesome name.
Wasn't Semiramis Assyrian? Actually more like Sammuramat, daughter-in-law of Shalmaneser III, wife and widow of Shamsi-Adad V, who was loyal to his father and victorious in the civil war of 828BC? Dowager queen and regent while her son grew up? Lived at Nimrud, which is some 400 kilometres from Babylon, and a long time after the old Babylonian period that ended around 800 years before she was born.
I suppose the original Assyrian clay tablets are less reliable that the inventions of later Greek writers and the ramblings of modern fundamentalists.
This moron will be telling us that Rameses II built the pyramids next.
Lotsa research?
Light reading, my Dear.
It's Hinduism and Buddism. And, no, these religions did NOT originate in Babylon. You need a crash course in ancient History, dear Lisa.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
