Obama isn't from America

now that is a myth! Kenya is missing the village IDIOT!

Lets not forget Jesus - right along side the other myths.

In fact as you said, these myths were carried right into the whole Jesus story.

hummm

So you cannot say Jesus was the true savior nor more than you can dismiss Mithra and a host of others in the the myth stories that told part of the same Jesus story long before his birth and teaching.

borrowed stories? I say yes...

That you can find a date on DH. Oh definitely a myth, maybe even an urban legend.

Apollonius of Tyana was an actual person, his face is on an asiatic coin of the period. Due to people mentioned in his biographies his lifetime is established as being 15-98CE, meaning he'd have to have lived to at least 95 to have been born in 3CE (the claim of one biographer but not others). The account of him by Philostratus is considered academically dubious, at best highly fictionalized, and Apollonius of Tyana was oddly, never really heard about at all in western europe until the 3rd century, which is when Philostratus wrote his work. Seems strange for a miracle worker extremely active in Greece, Italy, Macedonia, Spain and North Africa as well as central Asia, Mesopotamia, Ethopia and India. Yet unheard of in any corroberative records around the western Mediterranean until Philostratus' book. Strange, bit like the Jesus myth yes, except Apollonius of Tyana was an actual person this can be established, Philostratus' account of his life however seems a fiction.

The earliest archaeological reference to Krishna is ca.800BCE and earliest textual reference is 400BCE. There are older but extremely loose possible references claimed by some Indian scholars, but the same scholars tend to assert India as the first human civilisation, the inventor of algebra, the most advanced nation in the world and I don't think it's a big stretch to consider their publications something other than any objective appraisal.

Quetzalcoatl didn't become an anthropomorphic mythology until the 7th century CE, long after Christianity was established and in fact after dedicated Christianisation of European and other pagan cultures had begun. Prior to this Quetzalcoatl meant something different, and a variety of different things to the olmec, maya and aztec.

Isis wasn't a virgin at all, she was wife of Osiris the king of the Gods. Osiris was murdered by Seth the Lord of the desert wastelands. Seth murdered Osiris by tricking him into stepping into a magical coffin which rendered him immobile then dismembering him and spreading his body parts all over the Nile delta. Isis was so distraught she gathered up all the pieces and mourned over them.
Seth happened to be married to Isis' sister Nepthythis, who also happened to be a powerful sorceress and


possibly where Seth got his magical coffin from. Isis was a sorceress too but not as powerful as Nephythis, whom was probably married to Seth in an effort to keep him under control.
Nephythis gave Isis a magical spell of rebirth to bring back Osiris in the form of a son. Isis took the spell and cast it upon the dismembered penis of Osiris which she had gathered, and had sex with it. This made her pregnant with Horus, whose name basically means 'vengeance.'
Horus grew to become a powerful, divine warrior god, hunted down Seth and slaughtered him.
No three kings gave Horus gifts, but you might loosely say that the combination of divine gifts from Osiris, Isis and Nepthythis was responsible for his birth and he is child to all three.
Nephythis is where the word "nepotism" comes from by the way.

There are some very loose parallels between the Horus cult and the denominations of christianity which specifically admonish the child-god aspect as opposed to pentacostal reinvention of old testament fire and

brimstone. But they're very loose parallels like both are child gods. The mythologies don't seem very similar.

I'll grant you that the picture is truly fake. Although I don't know why you think that it has anything to do with anything and neither do you.

What are your thoughts on how you or anything, including this massive universe, came to be? It was all created for your viewing pleasure, right? -- talk about egocentrism! I'm sure that you've got some Sky Guy (a god) floating around in your mind somewhere or you wouldn't have used the word 'religion' in your last two posts. What, did you come up with the god hypothesis all by yourself? Of course not, you had to have been taught to believe in a Sky Guy through exposure to some religion and you know that. Sure, there have been and are great libraries on all continents but what does that have to do with anything about anything? Nothing, that's what.

Whoa, that's an awful lot of words you just stuck in my mouth for me!

What's that have to do with anything about anything? I suppose I WAS agreeing with you, you a**hole. That Caesar and again by the Pope at that time, Theophilus, burned the libraries. And shaped the minds of their followers to be more easily controlled with myths....errrr religions. Don't read through things, do ya?

It shouldn't matter what I think. Why do you care what I reject?

Yes, some very nifty stuff out there that quantum physics theories only touch. Start with basics of sacred geometry....some scientist in France even translated DNA to a focused meditation state with sacred geometry to send the dying electrical soul to .......Nirvana???? lol.

Math isn't a myth though.

Obviously the literature that you've read is different than that I've read. And what does it matter, there never was a virgin birth of a "miracle man" or any other child in the days of primitive ignoramuses and there never was or will be a resurrection of anybody, and you know that.
