    The Golden Rule

     

    The religious comparisons between Horus, the Egyptian sun god; and Jesus the Christ.

    I ran across this video this morning and was shocked of the comparisons.

    It blew my mind; to be quite honest. The link below the video is me looking up the sun god of Egypt to see what they said and the comparisons are there.

    Is all of the other “gods” Zeitgeist (Religion) what it says, true? I’m not sure, but I will be looking their names up to find out.  I have always believed religion was made up to control the masses. Yet I have always, also believed in the prophets of the “God” or “Good” vs.  “dEvil” or “Evil”. I also have believed the words written in the bible, were writings that guided your morals; or not.  I’ve never believed in a hell and that is what I meant by how governments used religion “to control the masses”.

    Many of the beginnings of The Church are the Jews killing the Christian followers of the teacher. (Roman Catholic” the one where Peters being the cornerstone) The establishment of Christianity to the Roman’s and the Jewish Judah’s (Israel Jews) was a problem.  With this person the basic principles of both their laws were being challenged. The Roman’s expected allegiance, first to the emperor and then you could have your other gods, too. The Jews being in the area before Rome conquered them, (Story of Jezebel and Amos in the bible spoke of this) believe in YHWH only. The Roman’s allowed the Jews this issue because of the story of Elijah and Jezebel.

    {Elijah was a man of God (as the story goes) He wore the cloak of God. He hated Jezebel who I think came from (today’s) Syria. She was raised in a country that had polytheism (believed in more than one god) and Elijah proved to them that he was worshipping the one and only true God. After which; he slaughtered over 400 of the priests of Jezebel’s.}

    That is the reasons the Roman’s allowed the Jews to worship their one true God, first. With Jesus; he was first born a Jew; yet not teaching the teaching of the Jews. He was first worshipping the Jews one true God. The Romans thought the followers of this teacher should “pay Caesar’s things to Caesar.”  Remember they were trying to trick him into denouncing the “Jewish” religion; therefore they could arrest him for not first worshipping the emperor. In the end, Rome could not find anything wrong done by the teacher. They placed the teacher into the hands of his people; the Jews. 

    Oh! What to do? What to do?

    Let’s make a dark age; 2000 year war on the people who don’t believe in the fiery hell and burn the non believers as witches.  Let’s denounce any knowledge as heresy. We will burn all the books and keep the people ignorant to what truly transpired when this man decided to teach a moral that had to do with the Golden Rule.  The “Golden Rule” I learned is believed even by atheists. It has been handed down from one generations “religion” or moral beliefs; to the next.  

    For those who don’t know the Golden Rule: Love your neighbor as yourself. Almost every religion has a message of this in its teaching.
