Religious Prostitutes

                     (Goddess Ishtar- Sacred Prostitute)

Let’s go to church ya’ll.

Did ya’ll know that certain ancient Gods were said to use the service of prostitutes? I mean, how bad can hookers be if the Gods used them?

Just imagine Jesus having to cohort for months with a bunch of stinky men in a desert, then in his down time lying up with some young supple prostitute? Wasn’t Magdalene an alleged prostitute and also Jesus favorite disciple? In Luke 7:38 it states that Magdalene was crying and washed Jesus feet with her tears. Then she dried his feet with her hair, kissed them over and over again, and poured the perfume on them.

These Prostitutes to the Gods were called “Hierodule” or “Sacred Prostitutes”, and their sole mission was pleasing the Gods sexually. After while they became knows as Goddesses, and rows of naked men would flock to them carrying various objects, bowls, vessels, baskets of farm produce, sheep and goats as payments for their services.

I even read that the Hebrew folk dance named the Hora, a tradition at Jewish weddings, is named after the circle dances of the sacred harlots. Such holy harlots were often "brides of God" similar to modern nuns, the "brides of Christ." The holy harlots were set apart to give birth to Sons of God. In other words, these women had the job of merging humans into Human Gods, like Jesus was.

The early fathers of Christianity claimed power by abolishing goddess/prostitute worship. But surprisingly the Prostitute/ Madonna idea was a construct of the early Papal Councils around 600 AD, so what made them decide to abolish the idea?

But what I find most funny is how modern religions make you believe that having a virgin is the ideal woman to have, yet all the Gods wanted whores and harlots as wives and lovers.

Pictured above is the Goddess Ishtar who was a prostitute to the Gods. Below is the building dedicated to her called "Ishtar Gate" that was constructed in about 575 BC by order of King Nebuchadnezzar II.
