"Many of these gods come from stars"

Post by aliantha »

I don't think we have any Bible-is-truth fundamentalists here, so there shouldn't be any fistfights. ;)

This is apparently a reprint of a Huffington Post piece from a few years back. It's kind of an exercise in comparative religion, with the birth of Jesus as the subject. Anyhow, here you go.

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

I've seen a lot of information about the jesus character being a solar messiah. Makes perfect sense when you hear it explained.
Monsters, they eat
Your kind of meat
And they're moving as far as they can
And as fast as they can

Guess so. :lol:

Ananda, I'd heard Jesus compared to Mithras before, but some of the observations in this article were new to me.
