THE WAR REPORT

“If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there’s no progress. If you pull it all the way out that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made, and they haven’t even pulled the knife out much less heal the wound…they won’t even admit the knife is there!”

Most Egyptian deities represent natural or social phenomena. The gods were generally said to be immanent in these phenomena—to be present within nature. The types of phenomena they represented include physical places and objects as well as abstract concepts and forces

Despite their diverse functions, most gods had an overarching role in common: maintaining maat, the universal order that was a central principle of Egyptian religion and was itself personified as a goddess.But some deities represented disruption to maat. Most prominently, Apep was the force of chaos, constantly threatening to annihilate the order of the universe, and Set was an ambivalent member of divine society who could both fight disorder and foment it.

Divine behavior was believed to govern all of nature. Except for the few deities who disrupted the divine order, the gods’ actions maintained maat and created and sustained all living things.They did this work using a force the Egyptians called heka, a term usually translated as “magic”. Heka was a fundamental power that the creator god used to form the world and the gods themselves

In myth, the gods behave much like humans. They feel emotion; they can eat, drink, fight, weep, sicken, and die. Some have unique character traits.Set is aggressive and impulsive, and Thoth, patron of writing and knowledge, is prone to long-winded speeches. Yet overall, the gods are more like archetypes than well drawn characters.Their behavior is inconsistent, and their thoughts and motivations are rarely stated.Most myths about them lack highly developed characters and plots, because the symbolic meaning of the myths was more important than elaborate storytelling

Egyptian deities are connected in a complex and shifting array of relationships. A god’s connections and interactions with other deities helped define its character. Thus Isis, as the mother and protector of Horus, was a great healer as well as the patroness of kings. Such relationships were the base material from which myths were formed

Deities often form male and female pairs, reflecting the importance of procreation in Egyptian religious thought. Families of three deities, with a father, mother, and child, represent the creation of new life and the succession of the father by the child, a pattern that connects divine families with royal succession 

The gods were believed to manifest themselves in many forms. The Egyptians had a complex conception of the human soul, made up of several parts. The spirits of the gods were composed of many of these same elements  

In the early 20th century, for instance, E. A. Wallis Budge believed that Egyptian commoners were polytheistic, but knowledge of the true monotheistic nature of the religion was reserved for the elite, who wrote the wisdom literature.

Egyptian writings describe the gods’ bodies in detail. They are made of precious materials; their flesh is gold, their bones are silver, and their hair is lapis lazuli. They give off a scent that the Egyptians likened to the incense used in rituals. Some texts give precise descriptions of particular deities, including their height and eye color. Yet these characteristics are not fixed; in myths, gods change their appearances to suit their own purposes. Egyptian texts often refer to deities’ true, underlying forms as “mysterious”. The Egyptians’ visual representations of their gods are therefore not literal. They symbolize specific aspects of each deity’s character, functioning much like the ideograms in hieroglyphic writing. For this reason, the funerary god Anubis is commonly shown in Egyptian art as a dog or jackal, a creature whose scavenging habits threaten the preservation of buried mummies, in an effort to counter this threat and employ it for protection. His black coloring alludes to the color of mummified flesh and to the fertile black soil that Egyptians saw as a symbol of resurrection

In official writings, pharaohs are said to be divine, and they are constantly depicted in the company of the deities of the pantheon. Each pharaoh and his predecessors were considered the successors of the gods who had ruled Egypt in mythic prehistory

  Although the Egyptians believed their gods to be present in the world around them, contact between the human and divine realms was mostly limited to specific circumstances.In literature, gods may appear to humans in a physical form, but in real life the Egyptians were limited to more indirect means of communication.

If you thought it was crazy when that lady spilled hot coffee on herself then sued McDonald’s because she got burned, you should probably sit down for this one. A Chicago police officer who killed two people the day after Christmas is suing the family of one of his victims for causing him “emotional distress,” according to Fusion.

Officer Robert Rialmo — who has been on the force for three years — responded to a series of domestic disturbance calls the morning of Dec. 26 at the home of Antonio and Quintonio LeGrier, who are father and son. Quintonio LeGrier, 19, had called the police three times saying someone was threatening his life. After ignoring the first two calls because Quintonio LeGrier would not give more details, dispatchers sent Rialmo on a “well-being check,” the Chicago Tribune reported.

It did not go well. When Rialmo arrived at the home, Quintonio LeGrier allegedly came outside with a baseball bat. Police said the teen had been threatening his father, who also called the police that morning. Regardless, Rialmo shot the teen six times — twice in the back — then shot the LeGriers’ 55-year-old neighbor, Bettie Jones, in the chest by “accident” when she came to her door to see what was happening.

Both Jones and Quintonio LeGrier died on the scene.

Quintonio LeGrier’s and Jones’ families have since filed wrongful death lawsuits against the city of Chicago. Now, Rialmo is suing the LeGrier family in return, according to his attorney, Joel Brodsky. “[Quintonio LeGrier] came after my client with a baseball bat trying to kill him,” Brodskytold Fusion on Thursday. “As a result of that, an innocent person was killed, and my client is very broken up about that.” Brodsky cites “emotional distress and assault” as the reasons Rialmo is suing.

The teen’s mother, Janet Cooksey, has since responded to the announcement, speaking to Fox 32 in Chicago on Thursday. “You took my best friend and my only son, and you say you gonna sue?” she said. “I had a promising honor student who always talked about all the great things he was going to do and he [the officer] talks about his stress? Where does the disrespect stop?“
