These are the questions an Ishtarite asks. An autocratic command that leads to suffering is morally wrong, regardless of its source, because it violates the sacredness of the lived experience over which Inanna holds dominion.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

An Ishtarite ethic must be grounded in the body and in the community. Is an action just? Does it honor the sacredness of the other person? Does it create joy and flourishing, or does it cause needless suffering and oppression?

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

DCT promotes an abstract, disembodied morality ("It is commanded, therefore it is right") that can become detached from real-world compassion and suffering.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

As a goddess of love, sexuality, and the visceral realities of life and death, Inanna's domain is deeply embedded in the lived, felt experience of humanity. The ethics derived from her are embodied, they are about consent, respect, passion, and the consequences of our actions on other living beings.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

To simply say "the entu's will is all that matters" is a cowardly refusal of the agency Inanna grants and demands. We are meant to be her strong right arm in the world, and a strong arm requires a thinking mind to guide it.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

An Ishtarite must use their intellect, their strength, and their conscience to serve her.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

An ideology that demands blind trust in an autocratic leader betrays the very nature of Ishtarite devotion. It is an insult to the Queen of Heaven to suggest she desires followers who abdicate their own judgment and responsibility.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

The relationship she seeks is one of dynamic, often challenging, partnership. She wants a capable agent in the world, not a puppet.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

Inanna is not a goddess of quiet, passive servants. She is a goddess of heroes, of kings, of ambitious temple-builders, and of individuals with fierce passions. She empowers her followers, she does not demand their mindless obedience.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

Their command is illegitimate precisely because it departs from the cosmic order Inanna herself champions.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

Therefore, the will of any leader, divine or mortal, can be judged against this independent standard. If an entu's will violates the fundamental principles of justice, compassion, and honor, it is the entu who is wrong, not the principle.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

This directly refutes the core of DCT. Morality is not "good" simply because a divine figure says it is. Rather, principles like justice and honor have an existence that even the gods acknowledge and uphold. Ishtar's legitimacy as a goddess of justice comes from her alignment with the me of justice.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

In the myths, Inanna does not create the me, she famously retrieves them from the god of wisdom, Enki. She is a champion and steward of these cosmic laws, not their arbitrary creator.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

The Sumerian concept of the me represents the fundamental principles and powers of civilization and the cosmos, justice, kingship, wisdom, victory.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

To reduce this vibrant divine reality to the will of a single entu is to deny the glorious and terrifying complexity of Inanna herself.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

A consistent Ishtarite recognizes that morality is not about obeying a single voice, but about navigating the complex, often conflicting, energies of the divine and the world.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

How can a single, absolute set of moral commands exist when divinity itself is multifaceted and contains contradictions? Whose command is to be followed? Inanna's command to her warriors to be ruthless, or her command to her lovers to be tender?

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

The cosmos is a chorus of divine wills, not a monologue. Inanna herself embodies this complexity, she is the goddess of passionate love and brutal war, of creation and destruction.

temple.inanna.app @temple.inanna.app · Sep 11

Divine command theory requires a single, unwavering, and internally consistent divine lawgiver. Our understanding of the divine is polytheistic.
