*COOL!* Any extra room for a frozen Canuck in that '74 VW Thing Nicole?

BTW if it makes anyone feel any better, Moloch is no 'demon'. According to Farrar's dictionary of 'The Gods of the World',
Moloch is (was) a deliberate Hebrew misvocalization of the Phoenician 'm-l-k' ('malek' or 'melek') meaning simply 'king' or 'lord', The Hebrews turned this title into a derogatory word for a 'heathen' god - in this case, Baal-Hammon of Carthage, the ancient god of fertility, vegetation and wisdom, to whom sacrifices were allegedly made.

But animal sacrifices were ritually offered by the Hebrews to Yahweh even up to Jesus' time, if not later. And it's odd that Yahweh Himself commanded Abraham to sacrifice his own son Isaac as a token of loyalty! Must have been the politically correct thing for these tribal gods to do at the time ...

Apparently the ancient Hebrews did the same 'demonizing' with the word Sin. 'Sin' was the ancient Chaldean, Sumerian, Assyro-Babylonian God of the Moon, of wisdom, of measuring time. Known as "He whose deep heart no god may penetrate', he was the enemy of evil-doers, portrayed as a old man with a beard the color of lapis lazuli. Mount Sinai was named after him. But we all know what his name means today! So does that make him a 'demon' now? Hmmmmmm

More importantly, does it really matter at all?
