The sum of your examples is a formidable body of evidence that God has always been in control, whether in Judeo/Christian cultures or pagan cultures. And He always will be moving our cultures and even our words/concepts according to His will, His end, Omega. Forgive me for a petty remark: And there's not a durned thing that Richard Dawkins can do about it! God is absolutely in charge....
Thanks you so much for your kind words, dearest sister, and for this lovely post.
