When it comes to bull shit, big time, major league bull shit. You have to stand in awe of the all time champion of false promises and exaggerating claims, Religion. Religion has actually convinced people, that there is an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of 10 things he does not want you to do. If you do any of these 10 things he has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever till the end of time……….But he LOVES you! He loves you and he needs MONEY!!!! He always needs MONEY!!! He is all powerful all perfect all knowing and all wise but somehow just can’t handle money. Religion takes in billions of dollars yet they pay no taxes and they always need a little bit more. Now you talk about a good bull shit story…… HOLY SHIT!

The Greatest Story Ever Told
The Sun – As far back as 10 000 BCE history is abundant with carvings and writings reflecting peoples respect and adoration for this object. And it is simple to understand why as every morning the sun will rise, bringing vision, warmth and security, saving man from the cold, blind and predator-filled darkness of night. Without it the cultures understood that the crops would not grow and life on the planet will not survive. These realities made the sun the most adorned object of all time. Likewise they were also very aware of the stars. The tracking of the stars allowed them to recognize and anticipate events which occurred over long periods of time, such as eclipses and full moons. They in turn catalogue celestial groups in what we know today as constellations. One of the earliest conceptual images in human history is the Cross of the Zodiac. It reflects the sun as it figuratively passes through the 12 major constellations over the course of a year. It also reflects the 12 months of the year, the four seasons and the solstices and equinoxes. The term “Zodiac” relates to the fact that constellations were anthropomorphized or personified as figures or animals. In other words, the early civilizations did not just follow the sun and stars; they personified them as labored myths involving their movements and relationships. The sun with its live giving and saving qualities was personified as a representative of the unseen creator or god. God’s Sun, The light of the world, and the savior of human kind. Likewise the 12 constellations represent the places to travel by god’s sun and were identified by names that usually represent elements of nature that happened during that period of time. For example, Aquarius the water bearer who brings the spring rains.
Horus – Egypt 3 000 BCE
Sun god of Egypt around 3 000 BCE. He is the sun anthropomorphized and his life is a series of allegorical myths involving the suns movement in the sky. From the ancient hieroglyphics in Egypt we know much about the soul of Assai. For instance, Horus being the Sun or the Light had an enemy known as Set, and Set was the personification of the darkness or night, and metaphorically speaking every morning Horus will win the battle against Set, while in the evening Set would conquer Horus and send him into the underworld. It is important to note that dark versus light, or good versus evil is one of the most notorious, mythological dualities ever known and is still expressed in many levels to this day. Broadly speaking, the story of Horus is as follows:
Horus was born on December the 25th of the virgin Isis (Mary). His birth was accompanied by a star in the East which in turn 3 Kings followed to locate and adorn the new born savior. At the age of 12 he was a prodigal child preacher, at the age of 30 he was baptized by a figure known as Annab and thus began his ministry. Horus had 12 disciples he travelled about with performing miracles such as healing the sick and walking on water. Horus was known by many gestural names such as “The Truth”, “The Light”, God’s anointed son”, “the good shepherd”, “the lamb of god” and many others. After being betrayed by Typhon, Horus was crucified, buried for 3 days and thus resurrected. These attributes of Horus whether original or not seem to permeate many cultures of the world from many other gods have found to have the same general mythological structure.
Attis – Greece 1200 BCE
Born of the virgin Nanan on December 25th, Crucified, placed in a tomb and after 3 days was resurrected.
Krishna – India 900 BCE
Born of the virgin Divaki with a star in the east signaling his coming. He performed miracles with his disciples and upon his death was resurrected.
Dionysus – Greece 500 BCE
Born of a virgin on December 25th, and was a traveling teacher and performed miracles such as turning water into wine. He was referred to as the King of Kings, God’s only begotten son, the alpha and Omega and many others, and upon his death was resurrected.
Mithra – Persia 1200BCE
Born of a virgin on December 25th, he had 12 disciples and performed miracles and upon his death, he was buried for 3 days and thus resurrected. He was also referred to as the Truth, The Light and many others. Interestingly the sacred day to worship Mithra was Sunday!
The fact of the matter is there are numerous saviors from different periods from all over the world which subscribes to these general characteristics:
• Chrishna of Hindostan
• Budha Sakia of Inda
• Salivahana of Bermuda
• Zulis, or Zhule, also Osiris and
• Orus, of Egypt
• Odin of the Scandinavians
• Crite of Chaldea
• Zoroaster and Mithra of Persia
• Baal and Taut, “the only Begotton of God”, of phoenicia
• Indra of Tibet
• Bali of Afghanistan
• Jao of nepal
• Wittoba of the Bilingonese
• Thammuz of Syria
• Atys of Phrygia
• Xamolxis of Thrace
• Zoar of the Bonzes
• Adad of Assyria
• Deva Tat, and Sammonocadam of Siam
• Alcides of Thebes
• Mikado of the Sintoos
• Beddru of Japan
• Hesus, or Eros, and Bremrillah of the Druids
• Cadmus of Greece
• Divine Teacher of Pluto
• Prometheus of Caucasus
• etc etc ect
The question remains, why these attributes? Why the virgin birth on December 25th? Why dead for 3 days and the inevitable resurrection? Why 12 disciples or followers? To find out let’s examine the most recent of the solar messiahs.
Jesus Christ – Jerusalem 4 AD
Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary on December 25th in Bethlehem. His birth was announced by a star in the east, which 3 kings have followed to locate and adorn the new savior. He was a child teacher at 12 and at the age of 30 he was baptized by John the Baptist and thus began his ministry. Jesus had 12 disciples which he traveled about performing miracles such as healing the sick, walking on water, raising the dead. He was also known as the King of Kings, the Son of God, and the Light of the World, the alpha and omega, the Lamb of God and many others. After being betrayed by his disciple Judas, and sold him for 30 pieces of silver, he was crucified, placed in a tomb and after 3 days was resurrected and ascended into heaven.
Birth sequence
First of all the “Birth Sequence” is astrological. The star in the East is Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, which on December 24th aligns with the 3 brightest stars in Orion’s belt. These 3 bright stars in Orion’s belt are called back in the ancient times as the Three Kings, and the Three Kings and the brightest star Sirius all point to the place of the sunrise on December 25th. This is why the Three Kings follow the star in the East in order to locate the sunrise, the birth of the Sun.
Virgo
The Virgin Mary is the constellation Virgo, also known as Virgo the Virgin. Virgo in Latin means Virgin. The ancient glyph for Virgo was the altered “M”, this is why Mary along with other virgin Mothers, such as Adonis’s mother Myrra, or Buddha’s mother Maya begin with an M. Virgo is also referred to as “The House of Bread” and the representation of Virgo is a Virgin holding a sheaf of wheat. This House of Bread and its symbol of wheat represent August and September at the time of Harvest. In turn “Bethlehem” in fact, literally translates to “House of Bread”. Bethlehem is thus a reference to the constellation Virgo, a place in the sky and not on Earth.
Death and Easter
There is another very interesting phenomenon that occurs around December 25th or the winter solstice. From the summer solstice to the winter solstice the days become shorter and colder. And from the perspective of the northern hemisphere, the sun appears to move south and gets smaller and more scares. The shortening of the days and the expiration of the crops when approaching the winter solstice it symbolizes the process of death to the ancients. It was the death to the Sun, and by December 22nd the Sun’s demise was fully realized, for the Sun having moved south continually for 6 months makes it to its lowest point in the sky. Here a curious thing occurs, the Sun stops moving south for 3 days (22nd, 23rd, 24th), and during this 3 day pause, it resides in the vicinity of the Southern Cross (Crux) constellation. And after this time on December 25th the sun moves 1 degree north foreshadowing longer days, warmth and spring and thus it was said: “The Sun died on the cross, was dead for 3 days, only to be resurrected back to live, or born again”. This is why Jesus and numerous other Sun Gods share the crucifixion, 3 day death and resurrection concept. It is the sun’s transition period before it shifts its direction back into the northern hemisphere bringing spring and thus salvation. However, they did not celebrate the resurrection of the sun until the spring equinox or “Easter”. This is because at the spring equinox the sun officially over powers the evil darkness as daytime thereafter becomes longer in duration than the night, and the revitalizing conditions of spring emerge.
The Number 12
Probably the most obvious of all the astrological symbolism around Jesus regards the 12 disciples. They are simply the 12 constellations of the Zodiac, which Jesus being the sun travels about with. In fact, the number 12 is replete throughout the bible: 12 Tribes of Israel; 12 brothers of Joseph; 12 Judges of Israel; 12 greatest patriarchs; 12 O.T prophets; 12 Kings of Israel; 12 princes of Israel; Jesus in temple at 12.
The bible has more to do with astrology than anything else. Coming back to the Cross of the Zodiac, the figurative life of the sun…… this was not just an artistic expression or tool to track the sun’s movement; it was also a pagan spiritual symbol the short hand of which looked like this:
This is not a symbol of Christianity; it is a pagan adaptation of the Cross of the Zodiac. This is why Jesus and early occult art is always shown with his head on the cross, for Jesus is the Sun, the Son of God, The Light of the World, The Risen Savior, who will come again, as it does every morning. The Glory of god who defends against the works of darkness as he is born again every morning, and can be seen coming in the clouds, up in heaven. With his crown of thorns or “Sun raise”.
The Age of Pisces
Of the many astrological metaphors in the bible, one has to do with the “Ages”. Throughout the scriptures there are numerous references to the Age. In order to understand this we need to be familiar with the phenomenon known as the precession of the equinoxes. The ancient Egyptians along with cultures long before them that approximately every 2150 years the sun rises in the morning of the spring equinox will occur in a different sign of the Zodiac. This has to do with a slow angular wobble that the earth maintains as it rotates on its axis. It is called a precession because the constellations go backwards rather than through the normal yearly cycle.
The amount of time it takes for all 12 signs is roughly 25 765 years, this is also called the “Great Year”, and ancient societies were very aware of this, and they refer to every 2150 year period as an “Age”. From 4300 BCE to 2150 BCE it was the age of Taurus, the Bull. From 2150 BCE to 1 AD it was Aries, the Ram. From 1 AD to 2150 AD it is the age of Pisces, the age we are still in to this day. In and around 2150 AD we will enter the new age, the Age of Aquarius. Now, the bible reflects broadly speaking a symbolic movement through 3 Ages while foreshadowing a fourth. In the Old Testament when Moses comes down Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments, he is very upset to see his people worshiping a golden bull-calf; in fact, he shattered the stone tablets and instructed his people to kill each other in order to purify themselves:
“Go in and out from gate to gate and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion and every man his neighbor….” - Exodus 32
Most biblical scholars will tribute this anger to the fact that the Israelites were worshipping a false idol or something to that effect. The reality is, the golden Bull is Taurus and Moses represents the new age of Aries the Ram. This is why Jews even to this day still blows the “Ram’s Horn”……. Moses represents the new age and upon the new age everyone must shed the old age. Other deities marked this transition as well, such as Mithra, a pre-Christian god who kills the Bull in the same symbology. Jesus is the figure who ushers in the age following the age of Aries, the Age of Pisces or the 2 Fish. Fish symbolism is very abundant in the New Testament. Jesus feeds 5 000 people with bread and “2 Fish”. When he begins his ministry walking along Galilee he befriends to fishermen who followed him, and we’ve all seen the Jesus fish on the back of people’s cars. Little do they know what it actually means? It is a pagan astrological symbolism for the sun’s kingdom during the age of Pisces. Also Jesus’ assumed birth date is essentially the start of this age.
At Luke 22:10 when Jesus is asked by his disciples where the next Passover will be after he is gone, Jesus replies “Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water….. Follow him into the house where he entereth in”. This scripture is by far one of the most revealing of all the astrological references. The man bearing the pitcher of water is Aquarius, the water bearer, who is always pictured as a man pouring out a pitcher of water. He represents the age after Pisces, and when the Sun, God’s Sun leaves the age of Pisces or Jesus, it will go into the house of Aquarius, as Aquarius follows Pisces in the precession of the equinoxes. All Jesus is saying is that after the age of Pisces will the Age of Aquarius come.
The End of the World
We have all heard about the End Times and the End of the World. The cartoonish depictions in the book of revelations, the main source of this comes from Mathew 28:20 where Jesus says: “I will be with you to the end of the world”. However in the King James Version “world” is a miss translation among many miss translations. The actual word being used is Aeon which means Age. I will be with you even until the end of the age, which is true as Jesus’ solar Piscean personification will end when the sun enters the age Aquarius. The entire concept of end times and the end of the world is a misinterpreted astrological allegory. Let’s tell THAT to the approximately 100 million people in America who believe the end of the world is coming.
The character of Jesus being literary astrological hybrid is most explicitly a plagiarizing of the Egyptian sun god Horus. For example, inscribed about 3500 years ago on the walls at the temple of Luxor in Egypt are images of the annunciation, the Immaculate Conception, the birth and the adoration of Horus. The images begin with Thoth announcing to the virgin Isis that she will conceive Horus then Meth, the Holy Ghost impregnating the virgin, and then the virgin birth and the adoration. This is exactly the story of Jesus’ miracle conception, in fact, the similarities between the Egyptian and the Christian religion are staggering and the plagiarism is continues.
Plagiarism
The story of Noah and Noah’s Ark is taken directly from tradition. The concept of the great flood is unambiguous throughout the ancient world with over 200 sightings and claims of different periods in time, however, one need no look further for a pre-Christian source than the Epic of Gilgamesh written in 2600 BCE. This story talk of a great flood commanded by god and an Ark will save those upon it, and even the release and the return of a Dove all held in common with the biblical story among many other similarities. And then there is the plagiarized story of Moses. Upon Moses’ birth it is said that he was placed in a reed basket and set adrift in a river in order to avoid infanticide. He was later rescued by a daughter of royalty and raised by her as a prince. This baby in a basket story was lifted directly from the myth of Sargon of Akhad from around 2250 BCE. Sargon was born, placed in a re basket in order to avoid infanticide and set adrift in a river. He was in turn rescued and raised by Aki, a royal midwife. Furthermore, Moses is known as the Law Giver, the giver of the 10 commandments; however the idea of a law given from god to a prophet up on a mountain is also very old. Moses is just another law giver along with many other law givers in mythological history. In India Manou was the great law giver, in Crete Minos was given the laws by Zeus, and in Egypt there was Mises who carried stone tablets and upon them was the laws of god written. Manou, Minos, Mises, Moses. As far as the 10 commandments, they are taken out right of Spell 125 out of the Egyptian book of the Dead. What the book of the Dead phrased “I have not stolen” became “Thou shall not steal”; “I have not killed” became “Thou shall not kill”; “I have not told lies” became “Thou shall not bear false witness” and so forth. In fact, the Egyptian religion is likely the primary foundational basis for the Judeo Christian Theology. Baptism, Afterlife, Final Judgment, Virgin Birth, Death and Resurrection, Crucifixion, The Ark of the Covenant, Circumcision, Saviors, Holy Communion, Great Floor, Easter, Christmas, Passover and many more are all attributes of Egyptian ideas long predating Christianity and Judaism.
History
Justin Martyr (100 – 165 AD), one of the first Christian historians and defenders wrote: “When we say that he, Jesus Christ, our teacher, was produced without sexual union, was crucified and died and rose again and ascended into heaven we propound nothing different from what you believe regarding the sons of [god] Jupiter”. It is obvious that Justin and other early Christians knew how similar Christianity was to the pagan religions, however, Justin had a solution! As far as he was concerned, the Devil did it. The devil had the foresight to come before Christ and create his characteristics in the pagan world.
The Bible
The bible is nothing more than an Astrotheological Literary Hybrid, just like nearly all religious myths before it. The aspect of transference of one characters attributes to a new character can be found within the book itself.
In the Old Testament there is the story of Joseph. Joseph was a prototype for Jesus. Joseph was born of a miracle birth; Jesus was born of a miracle birth. Joseph was of 12 brothers, Jesus had 12 disciples. Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver; Jesus was sold for 30 pieces of silver. Brother Judah suggests the sale of Joseph, disciple Judas suggests the sale of Jesus. Joseph began his work at the age of 30, Jesus began his work at the age of 30. The parallels go on and on. Furthermore, is there any non-biblical or historical evidence of any person living with the name Jesus, the son of Mary, who travelled about with 12 followers healing people in the like?
There are numerous historians who lived in and around the Mediterranean either during or soon after the assumed life of Jesus. How many of these historians document this figure? Not one!
However, to be fair that doesn’t mean the defenders of the historical Jesus haven’t claimed the contrary. You would think that a guy that rose from the dead and ascended into heaven for all eyes to see and perform the wealth of miracles acclaimed to him would’ve made it into the historical record. It didn’t because once the evidence is weighed; there are very high odds that the figure known as Jesus did not even exists!
“The Christian Religion is a parody on the worship of the sun, in which they put a man called Christ in the place of the sun, and pay him the adoration originally payed to the sun”
Thomas Paine 1737 – 1809
Wake Up to Reality
The reality is Jesus was the solar deity of the Gnostic Christian Sect. And like all other gods he was the mythical figure. It was the political establishment that sought to historise the Jesus figure for social control. By 325AD in Rome, Emperor Constantine convened the council of Nasaiah. It was during this meeting that the politically motivated Christine doctrines were established and thus began the long history of Christian bloodshed and spiritual fraud. For the next 1600 years the Vatican maintained the political strangle hold on all of Europe leading to such joyous time periods such as the Dark Ages, along with enlightening events such as the Crusades, and the Inquisition. Christianity along with all other Theistic believes a system is the fraud of the Age. It serves to detach the species from their natural world and likewise, each other. It supports blind submission to authority, and it reduces human responsibility to the effect that god controls everything and in turn, awful crimes can be justified in the name of the Devine 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 psychological soil upon which other myths can flourish.
