What is Myth?

After 70 CE, Christianity became a new movement. Western Christian writings after 70 CE are a product of that transformation. Christianity became a Mithras-type saviour cult whose hero was not a myth but a real man.

Anyone who questioned Jesus' divinity were viewed as ignorant and inferior, including early Jewish-Christians, Jews, Jesus' closest friends and even family.

It is probable the reason why the Church priests burned and destroyed the earlier records of pagan Gods was to hide the evidence for the real origins of their own Christian mythology.

The road from Jesus to the Christian religion that finally emerged in the fourth century, with its myth of Jesus as the son of God solidly in place, is a very long and twisty path.

Christianity was not born of an immaculate conception. It was the product of myriad moments of intellectual labor and negotiated social agreements by the people investing in the experiment.

This discovery has been difficult for many Christians to accept. That is because the traditional picture of Christian beginnings starts with a Jesus who knows in advance what is required of him and his disciples in order to establish the Christian religion.

Historically, the Bible has been used by some to enslave, subjugate and dominate over a people.

The 'Curse of Ham' Myth: Pro-slavery advocates twisted Genesis 9 to claim that people of African descent were divinely cursed to be eternal servants.

Old Testament Legal Protection: Slaveholders cited Leviticus 25 to argue that purchasing foreign bondmen and passing them down as inherited property was biblically sanctioned.

Weaponising Obedience Verses: Plantation owners frequently read verses like Ephesians 6:5 ('Slaves, obey your masters') to religiously brainwash enslaved people against rebelling.

The Redacted 'Slave Bible': British and American authorities physically censored the scriptures, deleting the entire Book of Exodus to hide the narrative of freedom from bondage.

Enforcing Fugitive Slave Laws: Pro-slavery preachers used Paul's letter to Philemon to argue that runaway slaves were legally and spiritually obligated to return to their masters.

Asatru (historically written as Asatru) is a modern Icelandic term that roughly translates to 'faith in the Asir' or 'being true to the Asir'. The Asir represents the principal pantheon of gods in Norse mythology, including deities like Odin, Thor, Frigg, and Tyr.

Deists reject the Bible as the infallible, divinely inspired word of God, viewing it instead as a historical human document filled with mythology. Consequently, they do not accept Jesus Christ as the divine Son of God, nor do they believe in his resurrection or miracles. However, historical and modern Deists often express profound respect for Jesus as a brilliant moral teacher and philosopher whose ethical instructions on love and compassion are highly valuable.

Sophia (the Greek word for Wisdom) is a central, tragic figure in Gnostic cosmology and creation myths. She is an Aeon—a divine emanation from the supreme spiritual realm. According to Gnostic myth, Sophia experienced a flawed desire to create a being without the consent of her divine counterpart. This independent act caused a rupture in the heavens, resulting in the accidental birth of the ignorant Demiurge and the subsequent creation of the material world.
