Some believe that if Nimrod is responsible for the Tower of Babel that he is responsible for beginning most ancient religions. References to Nimrod like characters can be found in Greek Mythology, Egyptian Mythology, Muslim, Babylonian Mythology, and many more.

The largest mosque in the world is in Iraq (Babylon) built in replica to the Tower of Babel.....
In the case of Nimrod according to tradition all of his body was cut up and scattered with the exception of his reproductive organ. It was from this ancient and obscure Babylonian tradition that the worship of the phallus began.

Queen Semiramis erected a 130 foot obelisk in honor of Nimrod. Such temples were common in Babylon and later Egypt. These obelisks are replete in the temples of Luxor and others..Today a mosque sits inside the Luxor Temple with a minaret....another phallic symbol.
The story of Nimrod and the reincarnation with his son Tammuz moved to Egypt as Osiris, Isis and Horus.
Its still the same sun god.....

In shrines, mosques temples and some churches of all religions of the world obelisk like spires and towers are included in construction...These follow the tradition without realization of their meaning or relationship to the mystery religion of Babylon.
All idol worship and kissing them is associated with the worsip of BAAL.
In catholicism they kiss statues of Mary (Isis, Semiramis) or the foot of the statue of Peter or even the Pope's ring....In Islam they kiss the black stone....You can call Allah god but he is still BAAL......
