Jesus walked around with a crisp packet on his head and a cucumber up his arse

Ever seen a tonsure?....Those guys would kill for a syrup...That's why they took to wearing birds nests...Toupee is French for birds nest...The word tonsure is of Old Germanic origin meaning Ave'it yer twat or God will shout at you...It's in the bible...Or did I read it in the Titbits mag in the seventies? Dunno...

 

[vmsuhail]

Yeah but you’d think if he was so worried about hair he’d have us not have it. Or us grown fur in the womb, only to shed it. Intelligent design and all that.

It doesn't have to be covered all the time, only in the presence of people of the opposite sex other than close family members.

Are Jesus and Lucifer the Same Being?

Are Jesus and Lucifer the same being? Both are referred to as "morning star" and "light-bringer." This article compares their mythological origins and appearances in the Bible.

The Jesus story is a plagiarism of many earlier stories.

We can look back to much more ancient religious characters and find all the same stories that were in the Jesus story, and you can bet that these stories were passed down generations for thousands of years before writing was invented from even more ancient religions than in Babylonia and India.

They’re all from areas where the Silk Routes interconnect and where the different powerful empires of the ancient world spread to, clash, work together, intermingle and receded at various stages. Ancient Egyptian religion, Babylonian religion, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Greek Paganism, other ancient Pagan religions, Judaism… all have a parts of Jesus’ story following a character or deity from their religions or have a character who has almost the entire Jesus story in their religion, all from further back than New Testament Jesus Christ.

People moving around ancient Eurasia with stories to take to or bring back from different areas at a time when there was no printing press to mass produce books, it was story telling from person-to-person through generation-to-generation that spread across Eurasia. Where people were settled and created their own religions and temples, they would claim this story as theirs and would adapt it to their region and often relate it to their struggle of the time as a way to give hope and something to worship and pray for survival in the face of an invasion and being conquered by the next big empire to come along.

This is true of much of what’s in the Bible and Torah. Many of the stories in both Christian and Jewish religions can be traced back to older religions. Even from the Old Testament to the New Testament you can take Joseph (the technicolour dreamcoat one) and Samson and put together a lot of Jesus’ story from the two of those older stories. Then look at Krishna and many others from many older religions than Judaism and you realise that these are just the same stories told over-and-over from different periods of history and different interconnected areas of Eurasia.

And as I always say, trace it all back to its truest roots and we’d find that they all come from stories of the Sun, the sky, other celestial objects, the seasons and religious stories that come from them.

So a essentially load of stories made up by a bunch of folk who couldn't otherwise explain the world around them?

A lot of what Jebus taught has been found to originate from Egypt, where it was assumed he was when he disappeared in the Bible.

Then there’s the theory that the Romans wrote the New Testament, or parts, to mock the Jews. Jesus and God are substitutes for a Roman emperor and his son (Trajan I think)

NASA’s theory about the lack of alien visitors is truly depressing

Paper embraces the Great Filter theory of civilisations wiping themselves out before they can leave their planets.

www.standard.co.uk

NASA has depressing speculation as to why we haven’t detected any signals from space representing other “intelligent” life forms.

In brief it suggests that as life forms become more technologically advanced but before they can make contact,with others the life form is “filtered out” a euphemism for becomes extinct or self destructs.

There are signs that we may be going the same way, if not through wars then through over exploitation of our natural resources and unchecked population growth. If we, following Psychedelic Canal’s analysis, see central tenets across a lot of the major religions and strip them from a lot of the ritualistic embellishments we could perhaps see a common message - Love God, Love your neighbour. Generalising it further humanists might go along with Love nature/creation, love humanity.

If NASA’s gloomy prognosis is correct perhaps that central message represents salvation for our species, or its successors.

Whether a God concept is necessary to achieve that is a moot point and it must be admitted that most religious organisations are not very good at following their own mantra and are often used by individuals to promote themselves rather than the good of all.

Oh I know all this mate, not an adherent to any particular religious doctrine myself but I do have an interest in them. Just thought it was an interesting piece.
