    While i have to admit that this was a fun article to read, i also feel the need to state that this is by far not a scientific source and borders between speculation and “conspiracy style” usage of selective information.

    The article ends with this:

    The reference to “Mystery Babylon — Mother of Harlots” is referencing Ishtar, the Mother of Harlots of Babylon…and her “mystery doctrines” such as salvation by sex for money. There are numerous other statue of other pagan deities in the US Capitol building and around the nation’s capitol city. America is indeed the Mystery Babylon of Revelation 17 and 18.

    Suggesting that America is referenced to in a 2000 year old book is just… bulhshit, i gues.

      Yeah, the image of Isis -> Venus -> Liberty is pretty established, but this was just the first site I found with more than a sentence or two about it. There’s definitely some, let’s say “unproven” claims on there as well.
