... Had to be a Jewish remake of another pagan religious system on the order of Brahma and Sarasvati and Ghaggar-Hakra being remade into Jewish and Arab progenitors Abraham, Sarah and Hagar? This is an interesting twist, because already many years ago I read a theory that the Exodus ended in India,...

What I find interesting though is that Ankhnaten's dynasty was the same period the Hebrews were in Egypt. Moses was an egyptian raised hebrew (perhaps) who was well aware of the concepts of Egyptian religion. Hebrews were part of the Egyptian dynasty of pharoahs ever since Joseph was sold to Egypt ...

I totally agree. That is exactly how I read CiE. Somehow the religion was trying to consolidate all the religions present at that complicated part of the world, where Egyptian, Roman, Greek and Jewish mythology met. They wished to harmonize all the data that was incoming. There is no need to consid...

Can you mention ANY HUMAN in mythology who was a VIRGIN? All the virgin mothers were GODDESSES and not HUMAN. For me this is the strongest point of the Jesus/Mary story being Bogus and stupid as well. The writers were trying to tie in the Jesus myth to the Jewish scriptures. The idea was to have Je...

I have already mentioned it before, but I like to do it again. I have to use capitals to avoid you feel the need to point out to me that Jesus en Mary didn't exist at all. That however is not my point and not even relevant. For me it is a story, nothing else. The STORY exists and there are even peop...

Your post assumes that Jesus and Mary were real people. Hello Robert. Thanks for your response, but no, I don't assume anything. I am reacting to claims other people make. So I agree with what you say next: There is no evidence whatsoever for this theory, except long tradition of church teaching. B...

And now I write this, the destruction of the library at Alexandria comes to mind. Was it to hide what is behind the Christian ideology?

That is not what I meant when I wrote "A god that is definitely the sun is ATEN". I meant that Aten is not depicted as a human not even an animal. It is a disk with rays of hands coming out of it, holding an Ankh, which is a symbol of life. There are no adventure-like stories connected to ...

The sun is the most dominant celestial body. A god that is definitely the sun is ATEN. Not only was Aten the life (ankh) giving (rays) force, responsible for everything (because without the sun nothing could live), but it was also the ONE god of Akhenaten. Judaism can be regarded as a henotheism, al...

First of all I: in my own language, Dutch, the word "Maagd" means virgin, but it is also used in the (old) word "dienstmaagd" which means "servant girl". So what the word implies is in fact "a maid" (which is the same word as "maagd") and just means:...
