Did Nimrod kick-start paganism?

The thread is pretty much self-explanatory, but for the purpose of discussion I will go into detail about what I am referring to.

According to Judeo-Christian mythology, Nimrod was a king who dared to build a tower in the land of Shinar that would reach even the realm of God, but it was never completed as God punished him by making everyone speak in different tongues, which lead to conflict amongst them.

The bible here is using metaphors to tell us how Nimrod considered himself a god, since no man may reach the realm of God, not forcefully like Nimrod was trying to do. By considering himself a god, he efficiently made people beleive that anyone could be a god, thus paganism. This is what the "many tounges" bit is refering to.

Now everyone had their own deity and confusion abounds, while judeu-christian beleif only follows the belief of the one God.

Now you may argue that Muslims are also monotheistic, but from what I learned so far is that Nimrod had a consort whom was named Semiramis, who made herself into a moon godess, who also just happened to also be called "Alliah" later Ishtar etc etc , is it
a coincidence that Muslims have to memorize what is it like 72 names of Allah? Why is their logo a cresent moon? (nuff said) What did Mohammed accomplish by coming out and saying that the "scriptures" that the Jews followed were altered and that he would bring a new an unaltered version? Division.

Namaste, bitches.

Dont quote me on that.

It is not that hard to get into power when you make everyone believe that you are THE main god.

Many people declared themselves god, and made Towers in honor of themselves.

look at the egyptians.

what about people that never heard of Nimrod?

how do you explain the other towers across the world and other leaders that declared themselves gods, and had similar mythologies? like the Mayans.

how can someone kick start something that no one even heard of?

Probably The Watchers creating catalysts for choice as per The Law of Confusion.

Why is their logo a cresent moon?

Tis not. Islam has no official symbol by my knowledge. Just like the followers of Christ should have none, certainly should not bow down to a wooden cross and gold[ish] Yehua [often right next to the flashy - golden 'pyramidal eye'].
