I don’t usually believe any of these things at all.
However, I definitely believe in the theory that there was never a bloke called Jesus and he’s just a personification of the Sun. And that Christianity, and all Abrahamic religions for that matter (I don’t know enough about other major religions to say), are just a load of stories that have made up people attached to different solar, lunar and astronomical times of the year.
I’m wholly convinced of it!
The Jesus story (virgin birth on 25th December, son of god, 12 disciples, died on the cross, resurrection...) is just the latest in a long line of identical stories throughout many religions. Krishna, Odysseus, Dionysus, Zoroaster, Attis of Phrygia, Horus and many many others, all pre-date Jesus but have the exact same stories.
Then most of the rest of the Jesus story that isn’t straight-up plagiarised from those pre-Jesus figures are just taken from other pre-Jesus religious figures like Glycon and Romulus (and many more pre-Jesus figures). Then there’s more barefaced plagiarism taken from Buddha who went away to a temple at age 12 and fasted (for 47 days); and Heracles, where in his pre-Jesus story, Hera tries to kill Heracles as an infant which is the same as the Jesus/King Herod story... and Christians have barely even changed the name!
And there are no contemporary accounts of Jesus ever existing and no census ever picked him up!
Even the Moses story is plagiarised from many identical pre-Moses religious stories. The early part to the Moses story (put in a basket on a river as a baby, rescued by a Princess, raised as a Prince) was taken from the story of Sargon. And the latter part (God giving Moses the laws of religion/ten commandments) was taken from multiple pre-Moses stories, notably Mises of Egypt.
Plus there is no evidence at all that the Hebrews were slaves in Egypt and the story of the Exodus is based on no historical event recorded by any of the peoples living at or after the time of its supposed happening. There is no evidence the Hebrews ever even lived in Egypt en mass.
And then I could go on and on and on for hours (but I won’t! Haha) about all the Abrahamic religious stories and all the pre-Abrahamic religions they were taken from and show how they actually relate to the Sun, the Moon and the Stars. They are all just personified stories of our celestial year. All of them.
One I will briefly show is: Jesus
Born on the 25th December to a virgin mother - this is simply the date at which the Sun moves up 1° on the horizon for the first time after the Winter Solstice. This is the birth of the new solar year, the miracle.
12 disciples (and all the many many other occasions that “12” crops up in Abrahamic religions) - are the 12 star constellations seen in the sky through a full year... the zodiac... which the leads to...
The Resurrection - that very same event as the miracle birth. At the end of the year, the Sun dies on the Winter Solstice and is resurrected a few days later (but used at Easter* by the Christians because it marks the coming of Summertime).
Even Easter comes from Pagan rituals and festivals. Even the word Easter comes from a very ancient Northern European word for the East where the Sun rises.
Funny how all these Christian stories arise and tie-in identically with the festivals of the Northern European pagans, at a time when Northern European pagans were being converted to Christianity either by brainwashing or by force. They simply thought it would be easier to get them to convert if they could make up the Christian festivals and have them on the exact same dates as the pagan ones.
