Religion: The Misinterpretation of Ancient Mythology?

"Religion: the Misinterpretation of Ancient Mythology

All of the major religions are based on an ancient astrotheology that employed metaphors and mythology to descibe the cosmos and various astronomical phenomena. The ancient astrotheology began in the Upper Paleolithic and it spread with the migrations of humankind throughout the world. The beliefs of the ancient astrotheology were originally relatively consistent throughout the various human cultures of the world, but regional variations developed that became the major religions.

Gradually, people everywhere forgot the original meaning of the metaphors and mythologies of the ancient astrotheology, and they now interpret those metaphors and mythologies in ways that show no comprehension of the original meaning. Jesus Christ/Yeshe Krishna is obviously the sun god, but many modern Christians and Hindus believe that Christ/Krishna was once a real person who walked the earth.

Not realizing that their interpretation of their own religion’s mythology is a false interpretation, people hold superstitions, prejudices, and erroneous world-views based on their misinterpretations of their own religion’s mythology. For example, many Christians believe that no one can attain ‘Salvation’ without accepting Jesus Christ (the mythological sun god) as their ‘Personal Savior’.

In the cycle of the Precession of the Equinoxes, it takes seventy-two years for the Equinoxes to precess backward one degree of the three hundred and sixty degrees of the ecliptic, the path of the sun. That is the astrotheological meaning of the ‘seventy-two virgins’ that the Islamic hero recieves in Paradise.

The sun god Jesus Christ ‘walked on water’ because the people of the ancient world saw the ecliptic, the path of the sun, as an interface between the cosmic sky and the cosmic sea. Greek mythology described the personified constellation of Orion, which is bisected at the waist by the ecliptic, as walking in the ocean up to his waist, with his upper body in the sky.

Throughout history wars, persecutions, and oppression have been perpetrated as a result of the misinterpretation of mythology. All of the recieved literatures of the major religions contain some philosophical content that provides ethical advice for human affairs. The philosophical traditions of the major religions may be appreciated without accepting the mythological traditions. One can appreciate the philosophies of the "Sermon on the Mount" or of the Bhagavad Gita without believing that Jesus Christ or Yeshe Krishna ever lived on earth or anywhere else.

Religious believers who interpret mythology as the literal truth have failed to understand the metaphors of the original astrotheology that composed the myths. As a result, the believers of misconstrued mythologies maintain a world-view that perpetuates fantasies, superstitions, and prejudices based on a misinterpretation of the ancient mythologies.

The mythological content of the traditional religions should correctly be interpreted as ancient astrotheology — not as the literal truth of gods, supermen, and theriomorphs. Nor are the mythologies an embellished history of real people and their exploits. The records and artworks of the ancient mythologies can provide scholars with insights into the ancient astrotheology, but the literal interpretation of mythology is irrational and dangerous."

Glad I’m not the only one who has heard of astrotheology.

What should I wear to a satanic cult ritual (first time and invited by my friend)?

I don’t own anything with satanic markings on it and I’m only going to see if I like it enough to join the cult, so how should I dress? Are green chucks with black leggings and a blue Hollister hoodie ok?

If you go you can wind up dealing with forces you’re not equipped to handle that will take you places you don’t want to go and keep you longer than you want to stay. I’d pass on this invitation if I were you.

A friend who would invite you to such a party is no real friend. It’s tantamount to being invited to an alligator petting party. At least the alligator is only intent on destroying your body. The master of ceremonies at your friend’s party wants to destroy your soul. He is the master of lies and comes only to steal, kill and destroy.

If you’re rebelling against an authoritative parent can’t you do something like get a tattoo or nose ring instead? If you’re looking for power in your life look for a church where the Holy Spirit is active…you’ll find all the excitement and adventure and love you need!

Why is everyone so against a New World Order?

I personally want a Central World Government. As long as it’s main frame was crafted similar to the U.S Constitution and U.S Bill of Rights etc, at least our legal system and what not…

But in General a New World Order would be a welcome thing. It’s about time to have one Government, although im pretty sure the world should be sectioned into zones and then a main Senate and "Congress"…

I don’t know, I just think it should be considered. One world currency would also be a good thing.

A New World Order (and associated currency) would bring everybody down to the least common denominator, and what makes you think that people would be granted the freedoms the USA has by a world government (especially if run by the typical USA-hating foreigners)? Most countries don’t have the freedom that the USA enjoys (or at least used to enjoy).

What are the craziest "conspiracy theories" you’ve ever heard?

Lately, I’ve been reading about tons of different "conspiracy theories", and while there are a few that seem possible, there are even more that sound insane :P I was wondering, what are the craziest "conspiracy theories" you’ve ever heard? And are there any theories out there that you believe?

If any of you have any good conspiracy related links to share, I’d love to see them :o )

The royal family of England and the Catholic church took some of the residue from the shroud of Turin (which has been proven to not be blood, but I digress), isolated DNA from it, and implanted that DNA in an egg cell which had had it’s nucleus removed. It was then implanted, with her consent , in Diana’s womb. The resulting child, Prince William, is therefore, the reincarnation of Jesus.
In addition, his given name is William Arthur. His mother called him Will. This breaks down into – Will i am Arthur.

Will Jesse Ventura run for minnesota senate 2008?

Will Jesse Ventura retake 08?

No, He is going to be a Vice Presidential candidate.

Has anyone read the David Icke guide to the Global Conspiracy?

I’m not sure what to make out of the whole reptilian entity thing, but I guess it could be true. Great book though. What do you think?

No. But I did read his other book, Children of the Matrix. Pretty intriguing stuff, but a little out there.

What tv show is the most different from the channel it’s on?

For example, that show about chefs recently out of prison on Planet Green.

Planet Green….really? Not on the Food Network or something.

Any more examples?

How about the fact that the Sci-Fi channel (now SyFy) has professional wrestling on every Tuesday night?

Has Alex Jones a 9/11 Truther of www.infowars.com been around for a long time or just a short while?

Does he know what he’s talking about or is he a johnny-come-lately?

From what I’ve heard he’s a twerp, wouldn’t know the truth if he sat on it. Out for a quick buck
