Smasher,
Totally agreed there. I've read Sitchin and besides the errors in the mythology, are his mis-translations of the ancient languages. I'd like to try and give some examples, but i think my eyes might starting bleeding. Bleh. He actually tried to equate the word MU with Rocket Ship. nuff' said. As for the Sumerian identity of Yahweh, i think one must take into account also the changes in said deity between the Torah and New Testament. In the old testament he was angry, wrathful god who acted basically like a raging alcoholic. In the New Testament he's all about peace and love and forgiveness. My opinion on it is that this speaks to the overthrowing of Enlil by Enki. Old testament Yahweh=Enlil New testament =Enki. Also, I think your spot on about the Jesus question by equating him more to a priest rather than a divinity.
Peace,
