Our priests have lied for 2,500 years. First, they did so hoping to create a better world. As they forgot their own history, they also lied out of ignorance. Laughing at the Devil: One Man's Religious Discoveries opens up the past they turned their backs to, and the astronomic investigations which slowly pushed them away from polytheism. These pages share the thirty-three celestial events the biblical Samson story was created from. Those events reveal the deep ties that connected the Israelites to their Mesopotamian predecessors, and illuminate the gradual evolution which occurred as our early investigators realized the planets were too cyclical to be self-willed deities. Other astronomic puzzles are also solved, including the 'three paths' of the Babylonian astronomers, and the original thought behind Nibiru-which was one of the fifty names given to the planet Jupiter 3,700 ago. The author's childhood cult experience is also shared, revealing the drama that pushed him to study our religious heritage so deeply. Hopefully, understanding these historic lies help us go beyond our present problems, which are rooted in those old thoughts.
