The featured image for this post comes from the book "The Rainbow Covenant" by Michael Dallen. The image shows the Roman Sibyl oracles as drunk, drug-addicted charlatans and harlots. This type of hated for other people's culture is readily apparent throughout the book and within the Noahide community in general. Amazingly, after mocking the Roman religion, Dallen then goes on to claim that the Sibyl oracles taught the Noahide Laws and that this was "Jewish propaganda" and paved the way for Christianity.
"Later, in the Mediterranean world, at the beginning of the common era, the mysterious third, fourth and fifth volumes of the Sibylline Oracles, a set of originally Greek-language works, had an enormous impact and an immense following among the pagan Romans. Virgil, the great Roman poet quotes from them. Written in the name of the ancient pagan prophetesses or fortune-tellers known as Sibyls - the famous Oracle of Delphi were Sybyls - these writing have been called "Jewish propaganda" under a pagan mask". They helped smooth the way for Christianity. Each contains a somewhat crude and early summary of the Seven Commandments Code". (Dallen, 2003, pp. 40-41)
