00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:06.679
Hi, I'm Keiley, hosts of
Missy Mysteries. I found the cutest little

2
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:10.919
online shop on Etsy called Wick of
the Wood. Wick of the Wood specializes

3
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:15.119
in unique accent candles, with an
inventory that consists of one of a kind,

4
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:19.839
handmade candles that fit every variety of
spaces and esthetics. Wick of the

5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:24.480
Wood always have their eye out for
new candle molds, thrifted containers, and

6
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:29.879
other inspirations. The idea that everyone
can have a candle that fits whatever quirky

7
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:34.200
spaceally need inspires Wick of the Wood
to think outside of the candle mold and

8
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:38.520
make any idea you might have a
reality. Since she was just a little

9
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.439
girl, the owner has always dreamed
of making a little shop where she could

10
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:48.640
sell homemade items under the watchful eye
of her dog. The owner lovingly handmakes

11
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:53.520
each item, packages them and mails
them out to you from Seattle, Washington,

12
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.880
and you don't have to take it
from me. Here's some testimonials from

13
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:03.079
several Wick of the Wood customers.
Susie five stars. I've ordered from this

14
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:08.480
shop and every time it's an amazing
experience. Everything smells amazing and the packaging

15
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:15.000
is always so cute and functional.
This is my favorite candle shop. Tandra

16
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:19.439
also gives Wick of the Woods five
stars. These are so cool. I

17
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.920
only burnt three so I could keep
one for show l ol. Another five

18
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.120
stars from Dior, who says the
seller is so kind, beautifully packaged,

19
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:34.040
the candles smell and look amazing.
Bought it for my bestie and she loves

20
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.519
it. Thank you, and thank
you for the freebees too. Those are

25
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.319
We're really nice people, but once
you get past the true crime and scary

26
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:25.120
science. Hello, I'm Jackie Moranti. Welcome to Cause of Death one hundred

27
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:31.199
seconds to Midnight. This was going
to be a subscription only episode, but

28
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.800
I felt that I should put it
out on the regular feed. Those episodes

29
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.360
are called What's on My Mind episodes. There are things that I want to

30
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:46.039
talk about, but they don't really
fit on the normal feed. They don't

31
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:52.360
really have anything to do with global
crises or infectious disease. If you like

32
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.680
these episodes. You can go to
my Patreon page or Apple subscriptions and sign

33
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:04.560
up to hear more of them.
Okay, let's begin. People from around

34
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:10.120
the world have suffered religious persecution.
There are Protestants against Catholics, Christians against

35
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:17.560
Jews, Jews against Palestinians, Christians
against Islam, Muslims against Hindies, Christians

36
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:23.879
against Muslims, Catholics against Buddhists.
You get the picture. The main thought

37
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.120
being if you don't love my God, I'll kill you. There are other

38
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.599
things behind these wars, of course, politics and money. Money and politics,

39
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.439
but the human race has figured out
how to change the narrative, use

40
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.879
the magic mirrors and skew the lines
of sight. If we make it about

41
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.520
religion, then we can hide the
money and the politics behind it all.

42
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:53.000
I don't celebrate Christmas. I really
don't celebrate many holidays. I think that

43
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.199
they've become another thing for people to
fight over, so I prefer to just

44
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:03.759
not People either love Christmas or hate
it. I don't have much of a

45
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:08.599
feeling about it one way or the
other. I appreciate the day off from

46
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.120
my regular job so that I can
do work that's not related to my real

47
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:17.959
job like produce this podcast and write
scripts for others. But I do like

48
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:23.920
to participate in some local events that
are Christmas themed. When I lived in

49
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:28.160
Albuquerque, it was a tradition to
go through the graveyards and see the luminarias.

50
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.160
Here in Kansas, i went to
a living Nativity, and I love

51
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:39.399
to drive through the neighborhoods and see
everyone's Christmas lights. I'm not going to

52
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:43.199
get into the history of religious battles. If you want to find out more

53
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.120
about the Crusades or the Buddhist Uprising, feel free to look them up.

54
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.920
There are plenty of religious battles to
read about, and most of them just

55
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:56.920
never end. I've got some links
in the show notes to religious conflicts around

56
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:01.600
the world. Knock yourselves out.
What I want to talk to you about

57
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:09.879
today aren't the religious differences. I
want to talk about religious similarities. I

58
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.360
don't really know how many Christian religions
exist in the world, but there are

59
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:19.639
plenty of them. All those religions
are celebrating Christmas. This is the time

60
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:26.240
of year when Christians around the world
celebrate the birth of Christ. This is

61
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.920
the time of year when Jews celebrate
Hanekah for eight days, Jews around the

62
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:38.240
world celebrate their religious freedom. That's
what Hanekah is, a celebration of religious

63
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:44.800
freedom. This celebration has gone on
for centuries. We talk about the persecution

64
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.000
of the Jews during Holocaust, but
this story goes much further back in time.

65
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:55.519
During the second century b C,
Jews and Judea found themselves under the

66
00:05:55.519 --> 00:06:02.759
control of Antiochus the Third, the
Seleucid king of Syria. Antiochus allowed the

67
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:09.720
Jews to practice their religion and things
were good. Then Antiochus the Third died

68
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:15.639
and Antiochus the fourth Epiphophanes took over
as king. He ordered the Jews to

69
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:24.160
worship Greek gods and banned the Jewish
religion. In one sixty eight BC,

70
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:30.959
Antiochus soldiers invaded Jerusalem. They raped, they pillaged, and they desecrated the

71
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:36.399
city's Holy Temple by erecting an altar
to Zeus and sacrificing pigs inside of the

72
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:43.920
temple. I talk about the four
ways that cultures are eradicated in the first

73
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:47.439
episode on Ukraine. One of the
first things you take away from them is

74
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:54.959
their religion. You leave them floundering. It's a forced assimilation. Well,

75
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.560
the Jews were having none of that, and they chose to revolt against the

76
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:03.680
Cellus in monarchy. A Jewish priest
named Matthias and his five sons led the

77
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:10.360
charge. This was no small scale
uprising, this was a full on revolt.

78
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:16.720
The Jews used guerrilla warfare and sneak
attacks to overcome Antiochus armies. After

79
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.120
his death in one sixty six b
c. Matthias's son took over the rebellion,

80
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:28.000
Judah Maccabee, who was also known
as the Hammer, and he was

81
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.959
a force to be reckoned with.
Within two years, the Syrians had been

82
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:39.079
driven out of Jerusalem. Judah asked
his people to cleanse the Second Temple and

83
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:45.000
rebuild the altar and light the Minorah. The seven branches of the Minorah represented

84
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:50.680
knowledge and creation, and they were
kept burning every night. There are a

85
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:55.120
couple of legends that follow this event, but I'm going to tell the one

86
00:07:55.160 --> 00:08:01.160
that I like the best. It's
my show I can do that. According

87
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.319
to the Talmud, those who took
part in the rededication of the Second Temple

88
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:11.079
poor witness to a miracle. There
was originally only enough oil to keep the

89
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.240
candles of the Manorah burning for one
night, but the flames continued to burn

90
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:22.319
for eight nights. This gave them
time to find more oil, so the

91
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:30.639
candles never burned out. This is
why Hanakah lasts eight days. The manorah

92
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.360
has nine branches, and after sundown
on each of the holidays eight nights,

93
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.799
another candle is added to the manorah. The ninth candle, the shamash,

94
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:46.639
is used to light the other candles. The manorahs displayed in a window of

95
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:52.519
the house to remind others of the
miracle that occurred so many centuries before.

96
00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:03.240
Buddhism is another culture that celebrates during
our Christmas time. Buddhis celebrate Rahatsu.

97
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.960
This is Japanese meaning the eighth day
of the twelfth month. This is the

98
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:18.039
celebration of the enlightenment of Buddha.
In Japanese monasteries, Rahatsu is the last

99
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:24.159
day of a week long hshine,
a meditation retreat in which all of one's

100
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.679
awake time is spent in meditation no
matter what else they are doing. They

101
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:35.799
strive to keep meditation focus at all
times. They are not allowed to speak

102
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:43.679
unless it is absolutely necessary. During
the celebration, meditation periods get longer every

103
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.799
night of the celebration until on the
last night. Meditation lasts the entire night.

104
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.759
The story of Rahatsu begins with Buddha
searching for peace. He searched for

105
00:09:54.840 --> 00:10:01.519
several years but couldn't find it anywhere. His future self, Sidhartha Guatma,

106
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:07.879
was determined to find peace through meditation. He sat beneath a body tree and

107
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.440
began to go into a meditative state. When he was deep in meditation,

108
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:20.200
the demon Mara came to him and
tempted him to give up. Mara first

109
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:26.480
brought his beautiful daughters to seduce Sidhartha, but Saidhartha refused to move. Mara

110
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:31.039
next sent a demon army to scare
said Hartha into giving up, but yet

111
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:41.000
Sidhartha didn't move. Mara then sent
screaming demons to terrify Sidhartha, and still

112
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:48.320
said Hartha didn't move. Mara finally
demanded to know what Sidhartha had done to

113
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:54.360
deserve enlightenment. Mara told of his
own spiritual accomplishments, and his demon army

114
00:10:54.440 --> 00:11:01.240
backed him up by crying out,
we bear witness. Mara asked Sidhartha,

115
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:07.120
who will speak for you? Sidhartha
reached his right hand down and touched the

116
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:13.519
earth, and the earth cried out, I bear witness. The morning Star

117
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:22.519
then rose in the sky, and
Sidhartha gained enlightenment and became Buddha. Neither

118
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:30.720
Buddhism nor Judaism recognize Christ, but
both of them celebrate holidays around Christmas time,

119
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.519
and similar stories can be found in
the Bible. Buddha's enlightenment can be

120
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:41.320
compared to the forty days that Christ
spent fasting in the Judean desert. This

121
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:46.279
is where he was tempted by Satan. The persecution of the Jews can be

122
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.960
compared to the death of Christ,
and it's also mentioned in the Book of

123
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.399
Moses, where the Jews were enslaved
by the Egyptians for many many years.

124
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:03.799
Other religions celebrate the rise of their
savior during other seasons. Ramadan is celebrated

125
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:09.600
during the ninth month of the Islamic
calendar. For the entire month, Muslims

126
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:15.080
fast from dawn to sunset. Not
even water is allowed during the daylight hours.

127
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.679
This is not only an act of
worship, but is also a way

128
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:24.240
to empathize with those who are less
fortunate. Family and friends will gather for

129
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:30.399
the evening meal called Iftar, and
then many will gather for the night prayer

130
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:35.200
called Tarawi. The night prayer is
in addition to the five daily prayers that

131
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:41.600
are said every day and are the
core of Islam. Lay At al Khadar,

132
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.080
or the Night of Power, is
celebrated on the twenty seventh of the

133
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:52.600
month of Ramadan. Muslims believe that
this is the night that Muhammad received the

134
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:58.759
first Holy Koran. The celebration ends
with Aid alpit Their, a feast that

135
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:05.840
celebrates the breaking of the fast.
Friends and families gather from meals and gift

136
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:11.600
exchanges. The families also give gifts
to the poor. There are more celebrations

137
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:16.200
from different religions around the world,
but I have to save some of them

138
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:22.360
for next year. We all know
the traditional Christmas story, but most of

139
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.159
us don't follow the entire Christmas celebration. We cut it down to one day

140
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:31.639
and call it good two days if
you count Santa coming on Christmas Eve.

141
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:37.639
How many of you celebrate Holy Innocence
Day? This is the day that Christians

142
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:45.440
honor those children who were killed by
Herod. Herod was the king ruling Jerusalem

143
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:50.679
when Christ was born. Of course, news traveled really fast to Herod that

144
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.200
there was a new king in town, and this king would be King of

145
00:13:54.240 --> 00:14:00.559
the Jews. Herod really didn't want
anyone to usurp his position, so he

146
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:05.200
decided that every child under two years
old in the kingdom must die, and

147
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:11.240
he sent his soldiers out to do
the deed. I don't know how many

148
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:15.799
children were murdered to satisfy King Herod's
greed, but he missed the one he

149
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:20.440
wanted. He was looking for.
Christ Mary and Joseph checked out of the

150
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.639
manger and took the first uber donkey
out of town, escaping with Jesus.

151
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.639
So all the carnage that Herod put
upon the children at Bethlehem was for nothing.

152
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:37.360
So there is a purpose to telling
Christmas stories from various religions, the

153
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.279
method to my madness, if you
will. The time has come, my

154
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:46.720
friends, for us to stop judging
others by their belief systems, the color

155
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.000
of their skin, the way they
comb their hair or do their makeup,

156
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.480
or who they love or marry.
We talk about peace, love and light

157
00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:00.240
at Christmas time, but what about
the rest of the year. Part of

158
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.039
the reason that the Doomsday clock covers
at one hundred seconds to midnight is that

159
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:09.039
we, the entire human race,
don't respect one another. We choose to

160
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.960
be hateful and make fun of one
of the most important parts of different cultures,

161
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:18.639
their belief systems. That alone can
break down a culture, and it

162
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:24.240
causes mistrust and ill will. It
starts with us, just your normal,

163
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:31.360
everyday people. Remember that it doesn't
matter whether the stories are true. They're

164
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:37.279
beautiful and believed and special to everyone
who celebrates a religious holiday. Not every

165
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.879
story has to be true, not
everyone has to believe it, but we

166
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:48.200
all need to respect one another.
I refuse to call any of these stories

167
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:54.320
myths. I think that it's disrespectful
and it takes away from cultural belief systems.

168
00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:58.399
Every culture has a creation story,
and with that they have someone in

169
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:04.000
their culture that came to save them
from evil. These stories are amazing and

170
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:10.799
they have lessons built in. Religion
is the owner's manual that shows us how

171
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:15.960
to live together, how to treat
one another. The unfortunate part of this

172
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:19.159
episode is that we don't use religion
in that way, none of us do.

173
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:25.279
We wield it like a weapon and
demonize others with our literal hoholier than

174
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:30.960
thou attitudes. We've lost the meaning
of all of it. It's gone,

175
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:37.960
and our societies are crumbling for it. Religious persecution has been the cause of

176
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:42.600
hatred and war for thousands of years. Attempts to bring peace to warring religious

177
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:49.519
factions have failed time and time again. Sometimes the attacks become personal. One

178
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:56.000
on one violence against someone of a
different faith isn't uncommon. An article in

179
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:03.080
Modern Diplomacy from October fifteenth of twenty
twenty, called Religious Conflicts around the Globe

180
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:10.640
and a Solution summed up the religious
conflicts perfectly. Basically. The article calls

181
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:15.079
out that neither party involved actually knows
their own religion very well, but they

182
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:21.039
want to prove that it's the best
thing out there. Something about that rings

183
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:26.680
true when we're talking about religious fervor, doesn't it? Just like anything,

184
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.799
We don't want to admit that we
don't really know what the Bible says.

185
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:34.440
We only know snippets that we apply
to any situation willy nilly as it suits

186
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:44.160
us. Believers in all religions do
this. I'm going to interject a personal

187
00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:48.000
story. When I was in college, I would take the bus from one

188
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:55.079
campus to another to save on parking
fees. CSU is insanely expensive, and

189
00:17:55.119 --> 00:18:00.000
they charge you an insane amount of
money for everything you do on campus.

190
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:06.400
On top of the ridiculous tuition.
Anyway, I would take the bus from

191
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:10.000
one campus to another since I worked
on one and went to school on the

192
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:15.359
other. There was a theology professor
who used to ride the bus about the

193
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.599
same time that I rode. He
and a reverend from one of the local

194
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:25.599
churches would debate frequently. You see, the professor was Jewish and the reverend

195
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:30.200
was Christian. They would have some
pretty lively debates going back and forth on

196
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:36.279
the bus. It was interesting to
listen to them talk. They never got

197
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:41.640
angry or violent. They actually enjoyed
each other's opinions, and they both knew

198
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:47.759
their religions very well. It wasn't
a competition. It was more like comparing

199
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:53.160
note I thought it was very healthy, and for me it was super educational.

200
00:18:55.039 --> 00:19:00.880
I learned a lot about conflict resolution
listening to these men talk. No,

201
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:06.920
I didn't learn anything about Judaism or
Christianity. I learned about conflict resolution.

202
00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:11.160
I learned that when people respect one
another and even admire one another,

203
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:17.000
great discussions can be had. Even
when you don't agree with one another.

204
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.880
It's up to us to level the
playing field. If you want empathy,

205
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:27.079
you have to show empathy and if
you want respect, you have to respect

206
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:33.279
others. We can strive for this, We can do it. Prejudice is

207
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:38.160
often fueled by fear, but in
reality, there isn't anything to fear.

208
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:45.119
Our gods aren't different. We just
celebrate them in different ways. We have

209
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:52.319
different stories. We are different people. But each culture, each religion,

210
00:19:52.640 --> 00:20:00.279
each belief system is important and should
be celebrated. The differences and similarities are

211
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:07.319
fascinating. I love learning about religious
beliefs and cultures, tolerance, my friends

212
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:17.680
live and let live. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, happy Ratsu, and

213
00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:22.559
in spring I'll say blessed Ramadan.
A little love goes a long way.

214
00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:30.640
Let it start with you. Thank
you for listening to Cause of Death one

215
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:36.240
hundred seconds to midnight. Take a
look at the show notes for various ways

216
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:41.680
that you can support the show.
I'm not a very religious person, so

217
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.160
if there are people out there who
know more than I do about the varying

218
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:49.200
religions that I talked about in this
episode, please reach out. In other

219
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:53.240
words, if I mess something up, let me know I'll issue a correction.

220
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.839
Have a wonderful holiday season no matter
what you celebrate, and please be

221
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:06.640
kind and accept one another, and
I'll see you in two weeks.
