The article Innocent Suffering in Egypt, states that “the gods were purified, fed, clothed and praised on a daily basis but this was done by the privileged and by those attached to the temple cult, not the ordinary individual.” The Egyptian gods and goddess were known to have human emotions and feelings. These human attributes often lead to pain and suffering on their worshippers. The gods and goddess were never blamed or rarely blamed for the source of suffering. Do you see this type of worship of “deities” in the 21st century? If so, describe the “temple cult”, “purification of the gods”, of the 21st century “god or goddesses”?
