[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1235272, member: 7966"] OK, I listened - nothing new (to me) and I cannot disagree with his assertions and analysis: The Jesus Seminar - I have read many of the works coming out of this ongoing effort to analyze the teachings of Jesus and understanding the etymological basis for layered and fabricated Nicene Council - Simply a political move by Constantine to create a consistent mythology and history that can be used to empower and justify his governance of the Roman Empire. The Egyptian origin of many of the Old and New Testaments is well known and documented. Anyone desiring to understand the break between Judism and later Christianity (4th century on) only has to analyze the differences between Egyptian, Jewish and Zoroastrian beliefs and mythologies and the Hellenic mythology. Roman Christianity is a synthesis of previous religions with the Hellenic religions (and other pagan religions) ... especially in their mythologies and sacraments If you like this type of discourse, try reading and viewing the works of Joseph Campbell who helped George Lucas develop the mythology of the Jedi and the development of the heros in Star Wars. Check this out for a brief intro to the Campbell's "Power of Myth". [media=youtube]2F7Wwew8X4Y[/media] [/QUOTE]
