Ancient Mythology

"The reality is, Jesus was the solar deity of the gnostic Christian sect and like all other pagan gods he was a mythical figure. It was the political establishment that sought to historize the Jesus figure for social control.

By 325 AD in Rome, Emperor of Constantine convened the counsel of Nicaea, it was during this meeting that the politically motivated Christian doctrines were established.

And thus began a long history of Christian blood shed and spiritual fraud. And for the next 1600 years, the Vatican maintained the political strangle-hold on all of the earth. Leading such to joyous periods as the dark ages, along with enlightening events such as the crusades and the inquisition.

Christianity, along with all other theistic belief systems, is the fraud of the age. It serves to detach the species from the natural world and likewise each other, it supports blind submission to authority, it reduces human responsibility to the effect that God controls everything and in turn awful crimes can be justified in the name of divine pursuit.

And most importantly it empowers those who know the truth but use the myth to manipulate and control societies. The religious myth is the most powerful device ever created and serves as the psychological soil upon which other myths can flourish.

A myth is an idea that while widely believed—is false. In a deeper sense and a religious sense, a myth serves as a orienting and mobilizing story for people. The focus is not on the story's relation to reality but on it's function. A story cannot function unless it is believed to be true in the community or the nation. It is not a matter of debate that some people have the bad taste to raise the question of the truth of the sacred story. The keepers of the faith do not enter into debate with them, they ignore them or denounce them as blasphemes."

The above is a direct quote from the ending of the movie Zeitgeist Part 3 of 3 which is found on www.youtube.com.
