My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

Xristos Anesti... Alithos Anesti... This past Sunday was celebration of Orthodoxy's Easter... the day that the highly controversial historical figure, Jesus Christ, allegedly beat death. Common day folktales, using the Bible as a reference, describe Jesus Christ as dying on Friday (after being crucified for crimes against the state), decaying & decomposing for two days, and on Sunday springing to life and levitating into space (heaven). If you say it enough times, through repeated verses of song and prayer, maybe people will start believing it. In Greek Orthodoxy, there is a song/hymn about the resurrection of Jesus that has the same versus repeated three times. I think the original brainwashers of the day, figured that repetition is the best way the beat an idea into somebody's brain. So now, on Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday, Greeks greet each other with "Xristos Anesti!" The response usually is greeted with "Alithos Anesti!" Translation: "Christ has risen!" and "Truly he has risen!" My response now is, "Suuuuuuuure he has!" His proper medical attention, people suffering a gunshot wound to the head can live. Same goes for stab wounds. If I was Pontius Pilate, I would have stabbed Jesus in the heart, or cut the head off to make sure he was dead. Now, we'll never know, and the resurrection hoax lives on as if it were a fact. Please Don't Insult My Intelligence! When did the advanced civilizations of the time STOP believing that Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus actually WEREN'T Gods? I would hate to think there are people living on this planet today that don't know by now that little lights in the sky are actually planets. When did Greek civilization stop believing in mythological Gods such as Zeus, Dionysus, Aphrodite, Achilles, and etc.? I would hope that there are not mini-civilizations, isolated from the rest of the world, that still worship the Greek Gods. Sadly, according to my father, there are small sects in Greece today that still worship mythological Gods. Sad. Very sad. Want to know something just as sad? Read below. This is a clip from a magazine article from U.S. News and Reports, "Secrets of the Da Vinci Code", page 40, "The Pagan Mysteries Behind Early Christianity" by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy: ... At the heart of the Mysteries were myths concerning a dying and resurrecting godman, who was known by many different names. In Egypt he was Osiris, in Greece Dionysus, in Asia Minor Attis, in Syria Adonis, in Italy Bacchus, in Persia Mithras. Fundamentally all these godmen are the same mythical being. We will use the combined name Osiris-Dionysus to denote his universal and composite nature. The various myths of the different godmen of the Mysteries share what the great mythologist Joseph Campbell called "the same anatomy". The more we studied the various versions of the myth of Osiris-Dionysus, the more it became obvious that the story of Jesus had all the characteristics of the perennial tale. Event by event, we found we were able to construct Jesus's supposed biography from mythic motifs perviously relating to Osiris-Dionysus: Osiris-Dionysus is God made flesh, the savior and "Son of God". His father is God and his mother is a mortal virgin. He is born in a cave or humble cowshed on December 25 before three shepherds. He offers his followers the chance to be born again through the rites of baptism. He miraculously turns water into wine at a marriage ceremony. He rides triumphantly into town on a donkey while people wave palm leaves to honor him. He dies at Eastertime as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. After his death he descends to hell, then on the third day he rises from the dead and ascends to heaven in glory. His followers await his return as the judge during the Last Days. His death and resurrection are celebrated by a ritual meal of bread and wine, which symbolize his body and blood. These are just some of the motifs shared between the tales of Osiris-Dionysus and the biography of Jesus. Why are these remarkable similarities not common knowledge? Because, as we were to discover later, the early Roman Church did everything in its power to prevent us perceiving them. It systematically destroyed Pagan sacred literature in a brutal program o f eradicating the Mysteries, as task it performed so completely that today Paganism is regarded as a "dead" religion. So how is it that these "godmen", pre-dating the fabled "Jesus" by millenia (that's several THOUSAND years), miraculously and coincidentally share the exact same story as Jesus??? Is it a coinncidence? Or does our society yearn a deity/godman SOOOOO bad, that it'll clutch onto ANY idea, as long as it's referenced to a "holy" source (that ironically has no references)? Please... don't insult my intelligence by greeting me with "Xristos Anesti!" You can read more about the similarities of world deities on a bulletin board article I wrote a few years ago: Historical similarities of world deities... Here's another article I posted on reasons NOT to believe everything you read: Reasons NOT to follow the bible... posted by Dino at 1:47 PM (permanent link)
