From: Solon	of 28931

A person who believes that the stories surviving (and some canonized) from the Jewish tribes "may" actually reflect a contact or connection which the One True God (as contrasted with the thousands of other tribes and other stories and other supposed gods) is going to analyze the mythology much differently than one (such as myself) who sees no reason to separate the Jewish tribal superstitions from any of the myriad others whether from history or whether being invented daily as we speak. The former would struggle to make the strange and the odd intelligible in some fashion while the latter (people like me) simply accept it as the utter nonsense of pre-scientific people who found it necessary to invent explanations for everything because their actual knowledge was limited to desert sands, primitive weapons, tribal loyalty, and goats and figs. IF Mithraism or Zoroastrianism had prevailed through the first century battle of ideologies then we would have thousands upon thousands of learned hermeneutics and sermons about THEM floating about our book stores and libraries--adding nonsense to nonsense to nonsense until it is entirely imagined.
