And then flew off to heaven , never to be seen again for 2000 years ....yes , we all know the fantastic story .
Came back to life and rescued by the divine Father , like Hercules , Osirus , Prometheus , Mithra and Krishna, Mahavira of the Jains, and the succession of "living Buddhas" before him ?
Unfortunately this same propaganda was disseminated with the most virulent of consequences down from Constantine's first so called "conversion" . Once Christianity was adopted , the Holy Jhiad of Christendom was on , resisting down thru the many dark and mindless centuries the true light of Universalism and Cosmopolitan urges of man's mind that began with Socrates , or the ethics and morality of the Buddhas to the east or the wisdom of ancient China . Which btw , did reach over to the middle east centuries before this young country preacher from Galilea wandered and preached .
Christians were some of the most barbaric of all the movements that ever brought man together under one sign of supremacy , and the death , tortures and destruction it wrought upon the earth and its peoples are legendary numbers . How strange it is , that some of the worst and most terrible crimes this religion and its Leaders were to commit , was against its own fellow Christians in lengthy Wars of attrition throughout Europe.
Yet since the redawn of the age of reason that has thankfully been able to infuse itself incrimentially into the Mother Church (She had no choice), and the off shoot sects has this fanatic superstition dating back to the bronze-age monotheism of tribes of nomadic goatherd warriors , been modified . Though it was so modified when it could not exclude the preceding Greek Philosophies , or sound too dumb.
Hero worshipping (and Goddess Worship : ie Mother Mary) dates so far back its hard to find any one source of the origins , and yours is just one more in a long line of successions. |
