		The next major developments in the history of mental health and illness came in a wave of new ideas about the self that occurred in the 6th century BC: The founding of Islam as well as the revitalization of Judaism during the Babylonian exile.
		The origins of monotheism lie in the growth and survival of Judaism in the history of ancient Israel and Judah.
		Although the origin of the Israelite tribes have been dated to the late 2nd millennium BC, the major period of growth for Judaism occurred in the 6th century BC, when the Kingdom of Judah was conquered by Babylon and exiled to the Babylonian kingdom.

		Again, the Swedish prince Eadgils, the son of Ohthere, is certainly identical with the famous king of the Svear, A[char]ils, the son of Òttarr, and his conflict with Onela corresponds to the battle on lake Vener between A[char]ils and Àli.
		More probably the origin of both stories alike is to be sought in a folk-tale, and, just as the adventures were attributed in Iceland to the historical Grettir, so in England, and, possibly, also in Denmark, at an earlier date they were associated with a historical prince of the Götar.
		It is generally thought that several originally separate lays have been combined in the poem, and, though no proof is obtainable, the theory in itself is not unlikely.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Devil
		Here it is clearly taught that the Devil and the other demons are spiritual or angelic creatures created by God in a state of innocence, and that they became evil by their own act.
		As may be gathered from the language of the Lateran definition, the Devil and the other demons are but a part of the angelic creation, and their natural powers do not differ from those of the angels who remained faithful.
		And if the twelfth chapter of the Apocalypse may be taken to refer, at least in a secondary sense, to the original fall of the angels, it may seem somewhat significant that it opens with the vision of the Woman and her Child.

	Origin Of Free-Masonry
		I have already observed in the chapter on the origin of the christian religion, that the situation of churches East and West is taken from the worship of the Sun, which rises in the east, and has not the least reference to the person called Jesus Christ.

	Hell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In monotheistic religions, Hell is ruled by demons, or simply defined by an utter absence of God or redemptive force.
		According to Western Christian beliefs, the Devil and his angels (demons), who will be in charge of punishing the soul of the sinners also reside in hell.

	The Bible And Christianity -- The Historical Origins
		In the original Pentatuch, written in the 8th century B.C.E., there isn't a clearly monotheistic statement to be found, but by the time of the writings of the Deuteronomist, a century or so later, the Deuteronomist has Joshua threatening the Israelites and making sure they became monotheistic under threat of being destroyed.
		Yet as we have seen, the writers of the original documents that became source material for the bible often picked up and revised earlier material, and in turn, their work was revised, often again and again.
		This excellent analysis of the history of the bible and how its prophesies can't have been fulfilled in the manner suggested by the mass of Christian churches is a must read for someone wanting to understand the Bible in a rational, secular way.
