At any rate, thanks for that. Mind if I use it?
What could a race advanced light-years ahead of humanity teach us? The Buddhists are humans. The sum of their knowledge is a mere drop in the ocean of what can be known. There is so much that Buddhists don't know, it's not funny.
The "historical Jesus"? What exactly does that mean? Is there a difference between the historical 'Morality Games' and just plain ol' Morality Games? Why don't people say "the historical Charles Darwin" or "the historical Abraham Lincoln"? Is that just a catchphrase used by those who doubt His existence? Is it an attempt to discredit who He says He was all the while conceding that He actually did exist (as a mere human being)?
It wasn't really that "far east"...half an hour, tops.
That, indeed, is laughable.
Does it, now?
How stupid is that? Do you worship the trees or the earth (or the farmers) which feed you? Your mistake is your brain-washed idea that "ancient man" was somehow more ignorant (had less of a brain) than modern man. If you don't feel an urge to worship 'false gods', it's not very logical to assume that ancient man did, either. In fact, it's very presumptuous.
The landscape you paint is false. It's no wonder that your conclusions are all wrong.
Or, it could all be based on actual experiences. Imagine that, if you can. Let's say that the very first man on earth experienced a relationship with an alien being who said He was his Creator. This Being was so terrifying to behold (because of His powerful nature) and so advanced beyond belief, that any future references to Him (absent His literal presence) would be of mythological proportions.
Myths and legends aren't created by fertile imaginations. They are explanations for realities long forgotten.
Had Jesus just been a man, people would not worship Him today. It's the fact that He performed amazing 'miracles' (scientific feats that defied imagination) that makes Him remembered.
It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to suggest that mankind just made up a bunch of gods to worship unless a God had been experienced from the very beginning.
If I was the first man, I would be less gullible than I am today. I wouldn't carry the extra baggage of indoctrination and speculative history. I would deduce all things from my experiences through life. It is modern man that has become more superstitious and less intelligent, but he can hardly be conscious of that.
Besides the point. Men have always been oppressive towards one another, Christianity or not.
Truth should always be given preference over lies, don't you think?
No matter how horrific man's history, reality is more sensible than fantasy. Fantasy is an attempt to escape reality, not an attempt to embellish it with sordid details of man's abject humanity.
If the Bible was a fantastical, mythological creation, why not make it more attractive? What's the purpose of painting God as an unlovable Being? Where is the logic in that? |
Yes you can use it for whatever purpose you wish. I wrote it. Part of a book I never completed. Not copyrighted.
I might have posted something simular in my blog called "into the blue".
I am not sure if the other comments were directed to me (technosoul) or to some other poster.
The Alien theory is very likely, the best books on the subject were written by Secharia Sitchin. I would recomend "the 12th Planet".
